With Laura Dahlmeier by fair means to the Zugspitze
With double Olympic champion Laura Dahlmeier up the Zugspitze by fair means
Laura Dahlmeier is not only a multiple world champion and double Olympic champion, she is your perfect companion for this extraordinary ascent of the Zugspitze by fair means. Normally, you only climb half of the Zugspitze - and use the Zugspitzbahn for the descent.
As a day tour in ascent and descent, i.e. by fair means, an ascent of the Zugspitze is a completely different caliber. State-certified mountain and ski guide Laura Dahlmeier is your best possible companion for this fitness tour in her home mountains.
On the ascent, Laura guides you along the technical but varied "Stopselzieher" trail, which climbs almost 2,000 meters through various vegetation zones and finally over scree and rock to the highest point in Germany. After a 5-hour ascent, you've well earned a rest at the summit, and it's also time to recharge your batteries for the long descent over the Gatterl into the valley. Laura chose this route for the descent because it is technically easy and you can still enjoy it after a long day.
At the end of this strenuous, long tour, you will be able to look back with pride on your extraordinary Zugspitze ascent with Laura Dahlmeier.
