Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a mid-size Bavarian city about halfway between Munich in Germany and Innsbruck in Austria. The conference location is in its suburb "Garmisch". The city is situated on the northern edge of the Alps below the "Zugspitze", the highest mountain in the German Alps (almost 3000m). Its traditional Bavarian flair, the beautiful surroundings, and the good travel connections make it one of the primary destinations not only for tourists but also for international conferences of all sizes. Garmisch has a charming pedestrian area with many restaurants and shops (http://www.garmischer-zentrum.de/) and is close to sightseeing opportunities.
In Winter, Garmisch provides possibilities for both, non-skiers and skiers. Non-skiers can enjoy the flair of the city and its surroundings while skiers find possibilities for cross-country and down-hill skiing.
Its primary ski resort Garmisch Classics offers everything you need for great skiing no matter what your ability from gentle runs for beginners and families, to challenging and heart pounding olympic runs such as the famous Kandahar run. The famous glacier resort on top of the Zugspitze can be reached through a 1 hour ride with the Zugspitzbahn (leaving at Garmisch's train station and suitable for both, skiers and non-skiers), one of the few cogweel trains still in operation or through a new cable car which brings people after a shorter ride from Garmisch with the Zugspitzbahn within 10 minutes from the valley to the top.
