Description

All early risers can take the Tyrolean Zugspitze cable car to the Zugspitze summit before dawn. While enjoying a hearty breakfast (buffet) at the Panorama Summit Restaurant, one can observe how the day slowly awakens and, in good weather, the sun’s first rays shine over the peaks. With a bit of luck in the weather, you can experience one of the most beautiful natural spectacles ever. Hikers can then start their tour freshly strengthened.
