The first slopes are groomed and the winter season can start at least on the Zugspitze.
The Garmisch-Classic ski area will open in early / mid-December, depending on the snow conditions.
Bayerische Zugspitzbahn AG has developed an extensive hygiene concept for its mountain railways and restaurants so that skiers and winter friends can enjoy their stay safely and relaxed. The 2G rule currently applies to the use of mountain railways and ski lifts. A valid identification document must be presented together with one of the following certificates: • Proof of a complete vaccination against the coronavirus or • recognized proof of previous infection with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 with a positive PCR test that was at least 28 Days and a maximum of six months old. Children under the age of 12 do not have to provide proof of 2G. The 2G certificate applies to children and young people from the age of 12.Whether an exception rule is permitted for schoolchildren in the context of sporting activities is currently being clarified with the Garmisch-Partenkirchen health department.
An FFP2 mask must be worn in all indoor rooms, queuing areas (outside and inside), in the cable car cabins, the cogwheel train as well as chair lifts and drag lifts.
The regulations can still change during the winter season, depending on the infection situation and legal requirements.

The cogwheel train is a specialty: the cogwheel train runs
on the valley route between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Eibsee in public transport.
Guests who only drive on this route do not need a 2G certificate.
For the journey on the mountain route (to the Zugspitze), a 2G proof must be presented together with the ID (vaccinated or recovered).
The controls for this take place on the platform before boarding the train.
