Visiting Zugspitze, the tallest mountain in the German Alps

[@raimundmai553]

As a german i must say, this is totaly awsome. When i stood on top of the Zugspitze the weather was so bad icould not see anything, what made it even scarier to climb to the very top. I really love this episodes😍

[@Skyum123]

Being a Dane, i hosnestly feel like Germany is so underrated!

[@-.-1724]

your pronounciation of Zugspitze is wild after basically nailing Garmisch-Partenkirchen hahaha, no shame at all I'm just very entertained :))

[@haentz]

I loved it :)

[@dudeonbike800]

Ha! Caught that too. One out of two ain't bad!

[@chrisbailey2861]

Garmisch is one of my favorite places in the whole world. And yes, Tyler is right that it is terrifying for some scared of heights....I am also scared of heights and that gondola ride was quite scary...especially toward the very top. Great video!!! Thanks for bringing us along!!!

[@Karpaahh]

I love your vacation vlogs!! You should definitely do this more often.

[@r3mo71]

This genuinely put a smile on my face! Love seeing you getting out there and living! Plus, your cinematography/music choice was *chefs kiss*. Well done!

[@The_Sampler]

Yooo thank you Omer! 🙏 I had a lot of fun and put a ton of work into this one

[@r3mo71]

@@The_Sampler of course man! Love to see you pushing yourself creatively. And seriously you can tell the effort on these ones lately

[@B1KER]

I just came to see how many people wanted to correct the way you were saying: Zugspitze. Definitely very picturesque up there. I went skiing up there years ago. I remember the view feeling like something out of a movie.

[@beezerdoodle6140]

"grocery store checkout schnapps" I believe they call that an impulse buy, great impulse amigo! I traveled through Switzerland, Austria and Germany with my dad in 1987, everything was amazing, the food, the scenery, the hiking and the people couldn't have been better. This video took me right back, thanks!

[@okayatbikes1909]

Thank you for sharing this. I haven’t been to Garmisch in over 20 years; I appreciate this glimpse.

[@joshfoster6669]

My DUDE IS BACK! This is always one of the best part of my week. Thanks for sharing the stoke!

[@Medievalfan94]

Really love to see you enjoying my country :) I hope you have/had a blast visiting. It is so strange to see foreigners being baffled about stuff we take for granted. Makes me appreciate the little things again.

[@haentz]

Glad you could visit the place your step dad loved so much :) It's truly the most beautiful part of germany :)

[@imabigfanbro]

Just watching your vlog gave me a smile and made it so injoyable to watch.

[@edphooey81]

that sledge design is hilarious, brings a new meaning to live free ride hard...

[@ericsharp5079]

What a trip! Thanks for sharing your adventure!

[@SHAD9Wprodz]

The best vacation I’ve taken was to southern Germany and to this very location. I will go back some day.

[@mattpoe9391]

The view from the top of the mountain was just amazing! And the bare assed luge looked fun.

[@frederikjacob1985]

Love to see you in the Alps Alex!

[@andersonsridebikes]

My favorite trip of all time included a stay in Munich and a train ride to Lermoos, on the Austrian side of the Zugspitze. That place is unbelievable

[@mtwata]

Was there with my nephews last year, we went down the hill on those luge things at least a dozen times lol the Airbnbs in the Alps are amazing, great video!

[@bsrhoad]

I hiked to the top of the Zugspitze. The route involves several long Klettersteigs, also know as Via Ferrates. You need some basic climbing gear, including a harness and crampons, and you are roped onto cables and or ladders on the way up the steepest parts. The crampons are for crossing a glacier about half way up. This can all be hired, including a guide, which I highly recommend.

[@FoxRob93]

That looked like an amazing trip.

[@thestreakpodcast]

Excellent video Alex!

[@mikew3926]

Awesome video Alex!!

It's my favourite place in the Alps. I hope I could go there mountain biking next summer. Awesome travel vlog!

[@Norway-BOY-MTB-Mountainbike]

Nice Trip video !!Thanks Mate !!

[@jw-adventure6002]

Going all national geographic on us! Though I dig it, it looks like an amazing trip.

[@jakers887]

Absolutely love the travel vlog!!! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@LucasMartinFrey]

Cool Video - seems like you had a good time! Next time in Germany, we could show you some trails and bikeparks. Keep up the good work!

[@ammonsmith2260]

Ma dude!!! So glad you got to check out Garmisch. That part of the world is amazing! I was lucky enough to call that place home for 3 years. Brings back so many amazing memories. Keep on exploring and living your best life 🤜🤛

[@LOLwth65]

My dude !! I just went there last week when I was on my school exchange ! I stayed in Grainau (even closer to Zugspitze) for a week and it was lovely Your stepdad chose the right place to revisit every year, it was the most beautiful place I've ever visited

[@DMUSA536]

I learned to ski in the alps in the 1970’s while stationed in Bayreuth. The U.S. military had a hotel for service members in Garmisch. Never went up the Zugspitze. Going in Sept 2024

[@chilloutyaall]

Awesome video with beautiful views! They had to know the STS would be fastest downhill and kill the risky climb! 👍

[@eitanyarimi]

Love your vlog event with out bikes

[@oink4275]

stoked to see your video about austria as an austrian

[@filipkradijanseider7332]

appreciate the footage of getting to the actual summit

[@rascal1234]

Lived in Germany in the 80’s for a couple of years. I had a chance to go skiing Garmisch, but got sick. I never went back. Maybe some day. Miss the food, beer and people. Polka, not so much.

[@henrykohlruss4839]

You should consider coming to kaslo British Columbia, nice little town nestled in the mountains with hundreds of bike trails and good food

[@jeanbolduc5818]

ALps are way world class than BC american cheap way

[@bpal7090]

Great video.

[@RidgeRiderMTB]

I'm originally from Luxembourg, so I'm tremendously enjoying the Germany travel vlogs even though there are no mountain bikes involved. Made me miss all the good food and booze. :) Live free, die hard, get ripped.

[@SeanLewisMedia]

Awesome Alex!

[@stanmustard7292]

No singletrack, but some great sampling nonetheless. Definitely not disappointed.

[@Pshady]

Mountains are awesome

[@inkrider95]

Epic adventure for sure, now only if you can find a trail to shred..

[@JClark2600]

@17:00 Did you get a chance on your journey to have the pork knuckle (Schweinshaxe)?

[@twright1211]

'Live free, die hard, get ripped' LMAO!!

[@dwerner515]

Fun Fact: the majority of the Tranalp MTB tours to Lake Garda starting in Garmisch.

[@brandonpfeifle7057]

Sick, sick vid, youre more than singletrack..

[@64chrisg]

amazing adventure

[@christopherrobbins3018]

I LOVE Bavaria! True Bavarians don’t even consider themselves “German,” LOL! The food is ridiculously delicious and the geography is some of the most beautiful anywhere.

[@dhahm6884]

We are from Bavaria. It's near Germany!

[@Chami0n]

Last year we did the best Tour so far. We went All the way from Munich to the Zugspitze. Doesn't Sound that great maybe but Our Route was about 120km and we were not exceptionally fit 😅 However we made it and are plannig a different Route for this year. Cant wait 😁

[@rdevil25]

Beautiful man 👍

[@tilldef]

Awesome to see you in Europe. Spend a lot of time in the Alps and the Rockies absolutely share your love of the mountains. But Alex... you're in the Alps! Where's your bike?

[@The_Sampler]

These friends don't ride, but trust me, I'll be back with it!

[@tilldef]

@The_Sampler Not on the same scale as the Alps, but give me a shout if you get to the UK, we've some epic riding.

[@jakobholm1847]

Live free... die hard... get... ripped! Awesome! 😅

[@rupedog]

Great vid.... Though let's face it, is a great subject matter, and Alex could make a vid on boiling brocolli fun, interesting and life affirming!

[@rupedog]

Parts of the Autobhan are derestricted... You can go any speed u want... 250mph if your car and traffic conditions allow. But for most European saloons the car is restricted to 155mph, or 160. Most family cars and average traffic flow would cruise at 80-120mph where derestricted. Restricted parts limit is often 80mph or less.

[@glenncunningham5426]

I better see some live free die hard get ripped merch soon

[@Lohanworldtravel]

How much is the train ticket from town to mountain by train ?

[@GhislainLeduc]

freaking awesome trip, just forwarded the video to my wife and told her, we gotta go :)

[@IamNoOneUknow]

Where is the video for part 3? I've checked your channel and cannot find it. Thanks.

[@The_Sampler]

Hey Joel, I'm still working on part 3 but it's coming!

[@dummerendurojunge5337]

the parts of the video where they drink beer just hurt

[@allanridesbikes5856]

Sick view Alex! Did you leave a sticker up there for posterity?

[@hareshthakker5468]

I am visiting here in two weeks time. Can you recommend any place to stay?

[@rupedog]

Great views... German mountains are pretty low by Alps standards though... Austria and France etc. have many higher peaks... Even ski pistes at 3600m!

[@carstenreeder8634]

Sure, you where there not for that. But there are some great mtb trails in the Garmisch area you would have loved.

[@elendoev]

your were in Germany and didn’t say anything 😂. Youd need to visit some Bikeparks and of course nature trails. Cheers Alex🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@Westerntales]

Cool Video. I suggest you to visit Himalayas from Indian side

[@diejeekoen]

I was there myself. I did not do the last climb to the top because I considered the risks not being worth that. Going up there with slippery boots is actually even more risky. A lot of people die each year in the alps. A lot of them are wearing the wrong shoes, and taking to much risks. Some are very experienced and therefore not concentrated and some have bad luck as been hitten by avalanches or falling rocks. I really cannot recommend to copy doing this. As you wear a helmet and protection whilst mountainbiking, please recommend to wear the right shoes when climbing.

[@MarvinWestmaas]

I love the mountains, but I'm stuck living through KZbin sadly as my country's highest point is 322m above mean sea level 😂😂 Strangest thing is that I'm also scared of heights.. well when my brain tells me there is a danger of falling, I can walk over those glass bridges all day long without issues. Change it with a small rope bridge with a risk of slipping through and my brain will never allow it ;)

[@scotttowner7905]

[@bikingwithemily1109]

Loving your Germany trip videos so looking forward to you next video Question, what month did you travel there? Thanks 😊

[@The_Sampler]

Thanks dude! 🙌 This was in October!

[@parryhotter3138]

best months for visiting germany are from late may - september. october can be cold and rainy if u are unlucky. if u want the christmas market experience of course do it in december. but be aware of temperatures between -10 C (14F) and 10 - 12C (55F).

[@JClark2600]

@12:47 Look at all those microwave antennas. I used to climb towers on mountain tops and install those things. This was back in the late 90's to early 2000's so the industry was small and we had a great group of guys. In fact we used to hit up the strip club every Monday night for our OSHA mandated safety meeting. Brings back some memories of good times and a lot of cash made.

Hmmm. I do not really consider Garmisch the alps. Technically it is. But you are just in the foot hills.

[@The_Sampler]

Wait, you're telling me they get even BIGGER??? 😯

[@ramtadam1469]

Sure. Zugspitze is not even 3k in hight 😅 The alps has some nice 3 to 4 k Mountains 😊

[@Mp57navy]

@@The_Sampler Mont Blanc is the biggest peak in the Alps. 4,807.81m, or 15.800ish feet.

[@edwin.jansen]

I recommend Graubünden or Wallis Switzerland. Or if you are more into tourism Berner Oberland. Although I admit Zermatt and Saas Fee are also very touristic. My first love is Graubünden.

[@edwin.jansen]

It is kind of funny to hear somebody who knows the Rockies asking me if the mountains in Garmisch are not already big. 😃👏👍

[@edwin.jansen]

Hilarious. Americans on the Autobahn. Something that seems so mundane to an European can be an all out experience for the people who invented big and over the top! 😃👍
