Come join us on a private walking or hiking day trip in the Bavarian Alps! Munich Wanderland's day trips start from Munich, offer great views of the Bavarian Alps and take you to cosy places with authentic Bavarian food. Explore the region south of Munich off the beaten track and learn about the local culture and lifestyle from one of our 3 personable guides: Bavaria in a nutshell!
This private day tour from Munich truly gives you the best of Tegernsee. A mountain river leads us up the slopes from the village of Tegernsee. After a 2 hour ascent, we reach a rocky little summit with a cute chapel where amazing vistas over the mountains of the Mangfallgebirge and the lake await. A short descent brings us to a mountain chalet where we enjoy a well-earned Bavarian lunch. Replenished, we hike back via a panoramic path above the lake that eventually leads us to the shores of lake Tegernsee.

Alps Views and Tastes

5.00The Alpine day was one of the highlights of our trip! The trail went through mountain forests, wildflower covered meadows and alpine streams and waterfall. The route was moderate, perfect for a day in the mountains. Along the way there are plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the scenery or take photos. We enjoyed lunch at a mountain farm, found some courage to walk through a cow pasture as they watched us go by very closely. Finally near the end, we were able to wade and then drink cold, pure Alps water. Stephanie shares lots of history, information and creates a relaxing atmosphere as we walk along. So fortunate to meet people like Stephanie along our journey and share days with them.
Great experience

5.0011k w 1500 feet vertical rise near lake Tegerensee. Beautiful hike on good trail with a view from the top that wad amazing. Guide Stephanie was very knowledgable and kept the hike on a good pace. Stephaie speaks English and German fluently. 2 of us on hike, me at 62 and in good physical condition and daughter age 29, a marathon runner in excellent physical condition. My wife spent the day on a water taxi that gave her a nice trip around the lake. We all met at brewery/restaurant after for a bier and German lunch before walking along the lake before returning back to Munich on 75 minute train ride.
Amazing day hiking in Garmisch!

5.00My husband and I had the pleasure of spending the day with Stefani on the Garmisch Delights hike. We covered 8 miles, 1500ft of elevation and saw amazing views of G-P. We also had lunch at a wonderful Chalet in the mountains and spent time in Garmisch before departing. Stefani was a knowledgeable tour guide who was great to communicate with ahead of the tour. I highly recommend a tour if in the Munich area with Munich-Wanderland!
Amazing hike with wonderful guide.

5.00Stephanie was fantastic. Knowledgeable, prepared, matched us to the hike that was right for us (ages 23-60). Made sure we were safe and comfortable through the whole travel and hiking process. That left nothing for us to do but ENJOY! The scenery was breathtaking and we had a blast. Thank you Stephanie!
Beautiful day in the Alps

5.00Highly recommend Stefanie. She answered gear questions in advance, provided alternate plans for one of us who cannot hike, gave detailed instructions on where to meet her, etc. Best of all, the hike above Tegernsee was moderately challenging with a nice view at the top. Enjoyed having lunch with Stefanie by the lake after our hike.
Bavarian hiking experience not to be missed.

5.00We had 2 full days in Munich and I love that we spent one day taking the train to the Alps to hike. Chris was an excellent guide. Mid level requires some good conditioning and steep climbing but he accommodated the group with different levels. He was very patient and knew the area well. Also lots of good advice for the rest of our journey in Germany. I would highly recommend for anyone who loves the outdoors.

5.00Super experience with Stefanie. Had to change the hike last minute due to some transportation complications in Munich during the weekend. Lovely medium level hike at Garmisch - Partenkirchen (with the Pflgersee lake). Stefanie was courteous and flexible and has a great sense of humour. As for the hike, it’s a lovely one with winding forest trails (not too difficult, but you need to be somewhat fit). Stunning views at every corner. We were blessed with good weather throughout. Stefanie is very well informed about the region. The hike ended with a lovely lunch at the lake restaurant, followed by a short walk in Garmisch which is beautiful small town. Highly recommend this hike.
Wonderful day-hike with Stefanie

5.00We had a great time on our day-hike with Stefanie when we were staying in Fussen. The path she chose for us offered beautiful views and we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a Vegetarian Mountain Hut at the end of the trip. We would definitely recommend Stefanie and Munich Wanderland for custom hiking experiences in the Munich area.
