Hotels in German Alps, Germany
The German Alps stretch across southern Bavaria, famous for the 2,962-meter Zugspitze peak and the 19th-century Neuschwanstein Castle. Winters are cold with heavy snow from December to March (around -5°C / 23°F), making it perfect for skiing and snowboarding at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, while summers are mild (20°C / 68°F) and great for hiking around Lake Eibsee or visiting Linderhof Palace. Spring brings blooming meadows and fewer crowds, ideal for cycling through the Bavarian villages.
