General presentation
Mittenwald et Karwendel
Alpine village painted, violins, lakes, gorges and mountains of Karwendel between Bavaria and Tyrol.
To understand what Mittenwald and Karwendel are, you have to look at Mittenwald, Karwendelbahn and Leutaschklamm. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by mountain reliefs, shores and lakes, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: alpine weather and sometimes demanding trails. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Mittenwald
Mittenwald gives a clear identity between mountain villages, facades and pedestrian traffic, with a clear reading of the Alpine context at first glance. A quiet stop allows you to observe the shopping areas, the side passages and the views that direct the walk.
Place
Karwendelbahn
The Karwendelbahn structure the stay by movement more than by a simple point of interest: climb, panorama, redescent, and different look depending on the moment. It is an experience to live as a sequence, observing how the terrain and views respond.
Place
Ferchensee
The Ferchensee lies at the foot of the Karwendel mountains, with clear water lined with meadows, forests and quiet trails. The reflections change quickly according to the clouds; a loop on the banks allows to alter open views of the peaks and cooler passages under the trees.
Place
Lautersee
The Lautersee is a small mountain lake where water, meadows and slopes of the Karwendel hold in a very collected landscape. From Mittenwald, the walk to the banks offers a beautiful transition between painted houses, forest paths and alpine reflections, pleasant for a short exit without leaving the atmosphere of the massif.
