Although the ski area on the Zugspitze is not one of the largest, you can still ski here without any worries - and hopefully until May.
According to the official website of the
Zugspitze.de
ski area, the condition of the slopes in the associated Garmisch-Classic ski area at an altitude of around 1,300 meters is still very good.
However, in some places there may be icing and only a small amount of fresh snow.
