The Kandahar-Downhill Garmisch is considered one of the most challenging circuits at the Alpine Ski World Cup, and got its name as a result of its status as one of the five host venues of the Arlberg-Kandahar race, which is in turn named after Frederick Roberts, the Earl of Kandahar. Garmisch-Partenkirchen became the venue for the traditional Arlberg-Kandahar race in 1954, and the FIS Ski World Cup races have been held here annually since 1970.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen – Incentive and conference destination at the Zugspitze
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is located in the far south of Bavaria, some 90 km from Munich. It is actually two towns, which were conjoined in 1935. Garmisch is the more elegant district, while Partenkirchen has more of the traditional Bavarian vibe.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen’s convention centre is the perfect venue for any kind of event, and can accommodate up to 1,000 people. From intimate meeting rooms to a large ballroom, it offers a variety of options – all equipped with state-of-the-art technology. For special occasions, head to the Olympic Ski Jump. This exceptional venue can cater to between 15 and 150 people.
Or organise a summit on the Zugspitze. With a spectacular 360-degree view, get ready for an endless horizon of 400 peaks in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. Three cable cars lead up to a unique glacier district and the natural wonder itself.
Situated at the foot of the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain (2962 m), are a number of charming conference hotels for seminars, incentives and meetings. Whether you want to get active after your meeting or are looking to relax and unwind, Garmisch-Partenkirchen welcomes both adventurers and bons vivants alike. Go for a run before your business conference, swim a few laps afterwards, go climbing, or curl up with a good book afterwards. Holding meetings in a holiday resort means you’ll soon forget you’re actually in town for work.
