Gentle exercise, fresh air and a charming ambiance – a visit to this town is bound to do you good. This should come as no surprise, though, given that Garmisch-Partenkirchen is one of Germany's 16 climatic health resorts designated as premium class.

The spa resort specialises in a type of exercise therapy harnessing the healthy climate, which was developed especially for Garmisch-Partenkirchen by Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Doctors assess the intensity level for each person, whilst climate therapists select suitable walking routes. This type of exercise therapy is most effective for people with a weak immune system, high or low blood pressure, coronary heart disease, metabolic disorders, musculoskeletal problems, respiratory diseases and skin conditions. But the health benefits of walking in an area with a healthy climate can also be enjoyed by anyone who is fighting fit.
