Pole Position

Farchant is centrally located and yet wonderfully quiet. Garmisch-Partenkirchen is only a few kilometers away and Innsbruck and Munich are not far either.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Farchant is only a few kilometers away from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the venue for the New Year's ski jumping! Have fun discovering the historic center of Partenkirchen and go shopping at the pedestrian zone in Garmisch.

Partnach Gorge

Historical bobsleigh run

Nothing for weak nerves!
Bobsleigh history was written here. The legendary Olympic bobsleigh run on Lake Riessersee was considered one of the most dangerous routes. In addition to various Bavarian, German, European and World Championships, the bobsleigh races of the 1936 Winter Olympics were also held here.
Today the world-famous race track is under monument protection. It has become a year-round attraction for hikers and sports fans. Hiking through is possible without any problems with sturdy shoes. To find out more about the background, you have the opportunity to take part in a guided tour. These usually take place every Wednesday - from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Participation and entry are free.
Only 350 m from the finish is the “bobsleigh shed” with 17 historic bobsleighs and other interesting exhibits. Original film material recreates the atmosphere of past sporting events.

Oberammergau

Oberammergau has become world famous for its passion plays, which have been performed since 1634, and for its woodcarvers.

Passion Theatre Oberammergau

What would Oberammergau be without its passion play? In 2022 there was another new play production and the entire place was transformed into a historical setting...

Murnau

Small restaurants, cafés and boutiques characterize the pedestrian zone with the beautiful house fronts. Picturesque corners and alleys in Murnau are the motifs of world-famous pictures by Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter, who lived together in the Münterhaus in Murnau from 1909-1914.

Mittenwald

Mittenwald has retained its historical appearance up to the present day. Its unspoilt townscape with the old Upper Bavarian houses in the midst of a spacious landscape is impressive.

Munich

Munich is not only worth a visit during the Oktoberfest. Regardless of whether you are interested in culture or just want to stroll through the beautiful city center, you will definitely not be bored.

Innsbruck

Sport is very important in Innsbruck (together with Garmisch-Partenkirchen co-organizer of the Four Hills Tournament, European Football Championships...). But the place also has a lot to offer in other ways, be it the picturesque city center with the golden roof, the Hofburg or the shopping facilities. An excursion is always worthwhile, and the train ride there from Farchant is a stunning experience.
