Flat house Alpenglühen is located in authentic Austrian village Ehrwald, in the middle of the Zugspitz Arena.
The Zugspitze is the highest mountain in Germany, but the border with Austria is on top of the mountain, so it is also Austrian.
All kinds of activities can be started from the door (and of course you can also find activities at a smaller or greater distance):
We are in a valley surrounded by mountain peaks, which means you can cover many kilometres as well as altitude metres.
Take a look at a the video below to get an impression of the landscape.
Bergfeuer
The beginning of summer (solstice) is celebrated every year with mountain fires.
Since 2010, the mountain fires of the Tyrolean Zugspitz Arena have been included in UNESCO's Intangible World Heritage List.
Every year, mountain fires during the summer solstice (midsummer night) are the absolute highlight in the region and the longest day and shortest night are celebrated exuberantly with spectacular fire motifs. Around the 3rd Saturday in June, the Ketel Valley Ehrwald-Lermoos-Biberwier shines with a very special light. This unique event on the Tyrolean side of the Zugspitze is a "must see".
Hiken
More than 150 wonderful hikes at all levels. From light trails to more fanatical and adventurous hikes and challenging climbs and peaks.
The highest mountain, the Zugspitze beckons with its 2962 metres to climb to the top, or the Highline in Reutte. But several lakes in the area are also worth hiking, with the SeebenSee being the one most photographed for calendars worldwide.
Nordic-Walking
Nordic walking is a sport that evolved from cross-country skiing, also known as Nordic skiing.
The large open plain between Ehrwald, Lermoos and Biberwier is an invitation for Nordic walkers. There are also all kinds of link trails to neighbouring valleys. The Hochloipe Ehrwalder Alm invites to a fairytale round trip amidst a vast landscape at an altitude of 1,500 metres.
Mountain Bike
The Zugspitz Arena is hailed by many as the "Eldorado" for mountain bikers. It has already been named the best mountain bike region in Tyrol several times for good reason. You can rest assured that you will find plenty of, prepared and signposted mountain bike routes in the Zugspitz Arena.
The cycling routes in the Ehrwalder Moos are excellent for those who want to venture a bit more into the flatter terrain. The mountain tours are intended for trained cyclists. You will find the right cycle route for every target group in the Zugspitz Arena.
To the Ehrwalder Alm mountain bike area, it's only a few minutes from Alpenglühen.
At the bike rental in Ehrwald, you can rent different types of bikes (also with electric assistance).
It is also possible to take a tour under professional guidance.
Golf
Opposite Alpenglühen is the golf course, beautifully enclosed in a beautiful and peaceful environment between Ehrwald and Lermoos.
The natural soil-based golf course is built to the top current international regulations.
It is a 9-hole course, but there are plans to extend it to an 18-hole course.
An 18-hole course can be found in nearby Garmisch-Partenkirche or Arlberg.
Tobogganing
Those who head to the Zugspitz Arena in summer should definitely take a ride on one of Tyrol's longest summer toboggan runs (1.3 km).
Near hotel "MyTirol" in Biberwier, you can take the Marienbergbahn to the starting point.
The toboggan run is suitable for all ages.
Climbing
For those who love climbing, there are plenty of opportunities.
Mountaineers will find a variety of rock formations and climbing routes and via ferrata, in different levels of difficulty, in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. Due to its southern location, many trails and routes are climbable in the early morning hours.
In the centre of Ehrwald is a real bolder/climbing hall. The climbing hall has state-of-the-art climbing equipment and in the accompanying shop where equipment can be rented or bought.
If you are more of a Tarzan, you can visit the high ropes course in Bichlbach, where you will find 5 courses with 60 exciting climbing elements.
Waterfunn
Cool off at or in one of the 8 crystal-clear mountain lakes.
The Heiterwangersee, among others, also offers water sports such as supping and canoeing.
Should the weather be less good for a day, Ehrwald has a modern indoor swimming pool with salt water and, of course, a slide.
For something more challenging, there are other options such as diving, canyoning and rafting.
In the air
