Hi everyone!

I am attending a symposium at Schneefernerhaus (near Zugspitzplatt) on Monday afternoon and wanted to squeeze in an ascent of Zugspitze just before that. This will be a moderately fast hike (~450m/hr uphill, ~5.5km/hr on flat sections) since I need to be at the summit latest by 13:30 in order to make it in time to Zugspitzplatt for the symposium. Please join the hike only if you are confident of maintaining this pace throughout. We will only have time for short breaks along the trail, so please carry enough water and food for yourself. Unfortunately, since I have a time constraint, I will be forced to leave you behind if you are slow.

The plan is (can be modified if someone has a car for carpool :)):

04:51 - 07:01: RB60 from Munich Hbf to Ehrwald Zugspitzbahn

07:15 - 08:15: Fast walk to Ehrwald Almbahn Talstation (flat) (earliest bus is only at 08:35 :'))

08:15 - 13:30: Hike to Zugspitze summit

I will leave the group at the summit and proceed down to Zugspitzplatt and Schneefernerhaus on my own. There are numerous ways down from the summit.
