The Zugspitze is the highest mountain in Germany, rising to 2,962 metres on the country’s southern border with Austria, at the western end of the Wetterstein range above Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Its summit \u2014 marked by a gleaming golden cross that has stood there since the 19th century \u2014 is one of the great Alpine viewpoints, taking in more than 400 peaks across four countries: Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Just below lies the Zugspitzplatt, a high sunlit plateau that holds one of Germany’s last few glaciers and the country’s highest ski slopes. Thanks to a remarkable set of mountain railways and cable cars, this rooftop of Germany is accessible to almost anyone, whatever the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce qu'il faut voir<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The summit itself is the attraction: broad viewing terraces look out over a sea of mountains, with the golden cross perched on the true peak \u2014 reached by a short scramble \u2014 and, on a clear day, a horizon that stretches from the Dolomites to the Swiss Alps. There are restaurants and a small museum on the history of the mountain, and you can even stroll across the frontier for a coffee on the Austrian side. Below the top, the Zugspitzplatt glacier plateau offers gentle walks in summer and skiing and tobogganing in winter, and is home to an environmental research station. Getting there is half the experience: from Lake Eibsee, the modern Eibsee cable car climbs to the summit in a single breathtaking span \u2014 when it opened it set world records for its height and its enormous support pillar \u2014 while the historic cog railway takes a slower, scenic route up through a long tunnel inside the mountain to the plateau, where a short glacier cable car completes the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comment s'y rendre et informations pratiques<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On acc\u00e8de \u00e0 la Zugspitze depuis Garmisch-Partenkirchen, situ\u00e9e \u00e0 environ 90 kilom\u00e8tres au sud-ouest de Munich et reli\u00e9e \u00e0 la ville par des trains r\u00e9gionaux directs. Depuis la vall\u00e9e, deux itin\u00e9raires classiques m\u00e8nent au sommet, tous deux exploit\u00e9s par la compagnie ferroviaire bavaroise Zugspitzbahn : le train \u00e0 cr\u00e9maill\u00e8re (Zugspitzbahn) au d\u00e9part de Garmisch, via Grainau et le lac Eibsee, et le spectaculaire t\u00e9l\u00e9ph\u00e9rique de l\u2019Eibsee au d\u00e9part du lac lui-m\u00eame ; un circuit tr\u00e8s appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 consiste \u00e0 monter par l\u2019un et \u00e0 redescendre par l\u2019autre. Un billet journalier unique couvre l\u2019acc\u00e8s aux remont\u00e9es m\u00e9caniques, bien qu\u2019il ne soit pas bon march\u00e9, et le sommet est \u00e9galement accessible en t\u00e9l\u00e9ph\u00e9rique depuis le versant autrichien. Comme le sommet culmine \u00e0 pr\u00e8s de 3 000 m\u00e8tres d\u2019altitude, il y fait beaucoup plus froid et il peut y avoir de la neige m\u00eame en plein \u00e9t\u00e9 ; il est donc indispensable de pr\u00e9voir des v\u00eatements chauds. Il est \u00e9galement conseill\u00e9 de choisir une journ\u00e9e d\u00e9gag\u00e9e et de partir t\u00f4t, \u00e0 la fois pour profiter de la vue et pour \u00e9viter la foule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
