City Biathlon

Known for its 'typically Garmisch' spirit, the event takes place annually in the last week of December directly in the Garmisch City Centre - as far as the temperature allows.

Just within one day the pedestrian zone is transformed into a small biathlon arena. The 500 meters' long running track requires 40 tons of snow. Entrance is free!

Gudiberg Night Slalom

The Gudiberg slalom racing track is located next to the Olympic ski jumping hill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. This is one of the steepest and challenging slalom runs in the Alpine World Cup. The run is only 655 meters long, which makes it possible for the spectators to keep the whole track in view, from start to finish.

Experience this fast-paced event where the athletes' running time is just 1 minute per round.

Kandahar Ski Race

The Arlberg-Kandahar (AK) Ski Race, also known as the Audi FIS Ski World Cup, takes place in February on the Kandahar ski run in the Garmisch-Classic Ski Area. The Kandahar run is considered to be one of the most demanding tracks in the alpine ski world championships.

The Kandahar run owes its name to the English army commander Frederick ‚Earl of Kandahar‘ Roberts, that won the trophy during the first classic downhill race in 1911 - the British Kandahar Ski Club, that organized the first Arlberg-Kandahar Ski Race events, bore his name.

Sustainability & Nature Protection

Sustainable practices are indispensable for the future of the travel industry. In our fantastic location, surrounded by the alpine meadows, vast forests and the high peaks of the German Alps, we have developed a special relationship with nature and the environment.

We live amidst this nature and we spend a lot of time in the mountains at any season. Therefore, it is crucial for us as a local enterprise to contribute to the preservation of our environment and resources. What is good for the environment is also good for our business! We do our best to take care of the environment and treat the resources at our disposal with care. We review our operations on a regular basis to identify and implement new opportunities that would drive our sustainability commitment.

Learn more about our progress and future goals on this page.
