← Back to outings around Grainau
Alpspitze and AlpspiX add a visit to the Garmisch-Classic mountain area to your Grainau holiday. Here is a starting point for planning the outing from Am Huberpark.
A different mountain day from Grainau
Between lakeside days at Eibsee and village walks, you might enjoy seeing the landscape from above. An Alpspitze outing takes you from Grainau to the Garmisch-Classic area. Give it a day of its own so that the mountain journey leaves time for views, a break and a relaxed afternoon after returning.
AlpspiX: views beside the upper station
The Alpspitzbahn takes you to the upper station at Osterfelderkopf. Just above it is the X-shaped AlpspiX viewing platform, overlooking the Alpine landscape and Höllental. If heights make you uncomfortable, you do not have to walk to the end of the viewing arms. Spending time together around the upper station can also be an enjoyable part of your day.
The viewing platform and the summit are different destinations
Taking the mountain cable car does not mean climbing the Alpspitze. You can plan a visit to the platform and the area around the upper station without undertaking a summit tour. More demanding mountain routes and via ferratas require their own route planning, relevant experience and appropriate equipment. Choose an outing that suits everyone travelling with you.
From your apartment to the cable car
Use the lower Alpspitzbahn station as the starting point for your journey planning. Check current transport connections from Grainau and the last cable-car descent before setting off. Consult the operator for timetables and parking information. The best connection from Loisachstraße depends on your mode of transport and the timetable, so there is no single useful walking time to give for all visitors.
Leave time for a break
The mountain railway operator lists Osterfelder 2000 at the upper station for refreshments. Decide whether to stay there or return to Grainau according to the weather, your appetite and how everyone feels. An additional walk is a separate outing: check the specific route and its conditions rather than adding an unfamiliar loop to your cable-car trip on impulse.
Return to your own holiday rhythm
Back at Am Huberpark, spend the evening on your terrace or cook together in the apartment. A memorable outing and a peaceful place to come home to make a pleasing combination during a longer stay. Ask us about your preferred dates for two to four guests.
