History comes alive on and below the Zugspitze. The “Fascination Zugspitze” exhibition at the summit station offers captivating insights into the story of Germany’s highest mountain – from the first ascent to the construction of Tirol’s very first cable car. Historic photos, an interactive map, a glass floor with views into the depths, and the highest 3D show in Europe turn this museum into a multimedia adventure for all ages.
