Holiday Tiroler Zugspitz Arena

Seven charming holiday resorts forming the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena holiday region are located on the southern side of the famous, almost 3,000 m Zugspitze. Ehrwald, Lermoos, Berwang, Biberwier, Heiterwang am See, Bichlbach, Lähn-Wengle and Namlos each have their own distinctive character, yet all those places feature both honest hospitality and lots of options for sports activities in both summer and winter, local delicacies and countless ways to experience the region’s culture & traditions. Travelling to the first ski and summer sport region in Northern Tyrol is incredibly easy. The motorways A 7 and A 95 provide a road tax- and disc-free connection from Germany.

Naturally, the most striking summit and main attraction of the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena is the alpine peak that gave it its name, the Zugspitze. The panoramic platform offers an unbelievably far, clear view of four countries and 400 mountain peaks including the Grossglockner, Austria’s highest mountain. The museum “Faszination Zugspitze” offers discoveries and the ski and hiking region athletic activities. Even the Oktoberfest has its own “offshoot” on the Zugspitze! By the way, you can comfortably reach Germany’s highest mountain from Tyrol by cable car.
