Description
Important: Bring a headlamp! It will be dark going down!
Not suitable for beginners or people lacking experience hiking in winter snow/ice conditions. You need to have previous experience using and ice axe and hiking with crampons!
We will take the the first train leaving from München Pasing at 4:53 to Ehrwald Zugspitzbahn arriving at 7:01
After the hike we will take the train from Ehrwald Zugspitzbahn to München Pasing at one of these times depending on how long the hike took us: 18:31, 19:31 or 21:35 (latest possible train).
I will be buying the Werdenfels ticket for both of us beforehand. To make sure I will not be paying for a no-show/late arrival, you have to pay your 14.5€ share of the ticket to me via Paypal upon joining the event, as well as tell me your full name so that I can put your name on the ticket. (use the friends and family option; if you use the business option, you will have to send 17€ since it deducts about 2€ in fees)
If you want to start your train ride at München Hauptbahnhof, the train leaves at 4:45 from platform 31. Please let me know beforehand that you are going to be in the train already. You will need a standard MVV/MVG ticket that is valid for M-Zone for the ride to Pasing.
Depending on the snow/ice conditions, I may decide not to push to the summit. It is an exhausting hike with just about 2000m elevation gain/loss in one day. Sunset is at 5 pm, so hiking in the darkness is almost assured on the way down. My goal is to have a nice day and enjoy myself. If all goes perfectly, we can enjoy the summit without any tourists, as no cable cars or trains are currently in operation.
I plan on making the hike in about 12 hours total, with a two hour buffer to the last train.
Good to know
Things to bring in addition to standard day hike equipment:
- HEADLAMP
- CRAMPONS
- ICE AXE
- Warm clothes
- Food and drink for a 10-14 hour day of hiking (there are no open huts along the way)
If you have any questions, just ask. I will be contacting anybody that joins to verify they have read the above.
Going to the mountains, like any other adventure tours, is always risky; sometimes it might be life-threatening! Attendees are advised to read the full description, look into the route details and familiarise themselves to the point that as if they are going to hike by their own.
If there is any unwanted and unfortunate incident happened, they are at this moment informed that they have to pay by themselves if the rescue team needs to be called (average cost 3,000 Euro). I am certainly not an official guide, so it is not a guided tour. I am only responsible for taking care of the meeting and sharing the travel cost, nothing else.

Plenty of Tullamore Dew and Jack Daniels on ice is available at 2200m. Cool tour! 😎

Yes, there is a train this week already at 4:53 Mo.-Fr. to serve commuters. There is a slightly earler departure this week due to work/closure of the route part between Gauting and Starnberg. On weekends trains operate as usual and may terminate at Starnberg after 9pm (with a bus replacement service to Gauting). A great opportunity to start the tour earlier. Enjoy!
