Zugspitze offers a truly unique ski experience. Its glacier terrain ensures reliable snow, while the modern lift system and panoramic views provide an unforgettable journey to the summit.
Beginners: Zugspitze provides an ideal setting for beginners, with gentle slopes and dedicated learning areas near the glacier.
Intermediates: Intermediates will find plenty of enjoyable red runs that offer both challenge and excitement. The run from the top of Wetterwandeck to the bottom of the Brunntal lift is a highlight, offering a longer descent that lets you take in the stunning mountain scenery. The variety of intermediate slopes makes it easy to refine skills while enjoying the alpine atmosphere.
Advanced: Advanced skiers might find the on-piste options a bit limited, but the off-piste terrain provides opportunities for more adventurous runs, especially on powder days. While the glacier’s steep pitches are not overly challenging, the conditions can create excellent freeride possibilities, particularly when fresh snow blankets the slopes.
Off-piste: Zugspitze’s off-piste terrain is best suited to skiers and snowboarders looking to explore natural, ungroomed routes. The high altitude and reliable snow conditions make it possible to find good powder on and around the glacier. The varied off-piste areas, though not extreme, offer plenty of space to carve fresh tracks.
Snowboarding: Snowboarders will appreciate the wide glacier slopes and the opportunity to practice freestyle moves on the natural terrain. The open runs and easy transitions make it a fantastic destination for both beginners and those looking to enhance their technique in a spectacular alpine setting.

4.9/5I usually book flights, transfers, hotel, ski rental and lift passes myself but this year used WeSki for a trip to Morzine. It was so much easier. Everything worked perfectly - transfers arrived on time and there was plenty of feedback throughout the whole process giving you confidence the holiday would go smoothly.
A really useful service that is so much easier to use than other ‘all-inclusive’ sites. It nicely bridges the gap between a travel agent and booking the trip yourself online. I will use WeSki every time I go skiing from now on.
We booked a late minute skiing trip to Morzine through we ski. We looked at booking the trip ourselves but could get anywhere near the price quoted by we ski. The company was excellent and we had no problems at all from start to finish. I would definitely use them to book another weekend skiing trip.
Seamless experience from start to finish. I was spending ages trying to sort out a weekend break and managed to do it with we ski in minutes and for the same price as booking it all up yourself. Flight, transfer and accommodation was all as expected and faultless.
