Holiday Tiroler Zugspitz Arena
On the southern side of the famous Zugspitze, which is almost 3,000 metres high, there are seven charming holiday resorts that together form the Tyrolean Zugspitz Arena holiday region: Ehrwald, Lermoos, Berwang, Biberwier, Heiterwang am See, Bichlbach, Lähn-Wengle and Namlos. And each place has its own unique character.
Here you will find not only warm hospitality, but also countless opportunities in both summer and winter to enjoy sporting activities, sample local delicacies and get to know the culture and traditions of the region. Getting to the leading ski and summer sports region in North Tyrol is very easy: the A7 and A95 motorways offer a toll-free and vignette-free connection from Germany.
The most striking peak and main attraction of the Tyrolean Zugspitz Arena is, of course, the Alpine peak that gives it its name, the Zugspitze. The panoramic platform offers an incredibly wide view of four countries and 400 mountain peaks, including the Großglockner, Austria's highest mountain. The ‘Faszination Zugspitze’ adventure museum invites you to explore, while the skiing and hiking area is ideal for sporting activities. Even the Oktoberfest has a ‘branch’ on the Zugspitze! Incidentally, you can also reach Germany's highest mountain very easily from the Tyrolean side by mountain railway.
