  • Zugspitze summitGo up on the cog railway through the mountain and down on the cable car over the Eibsee, which is the better order.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Good value for what's included.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Recommended.

Bavarian Alps done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Would book with them again.
