Garmisch-Partenkirchen

I arrived in Garmisch on 20 June 1990. I worked for the Armed Forces Recreation Center and loved every minute of it! The area is gorgeous, the people welcoming, and the food is outstanding! So many great memories and friends from Garmisch!

My husband loved the snow skiing, I loved the hiking and biking. The food was out of this world, and the people are very friendly.

I lived in Garmisch for 10 months while my boyfriend worked in town. It was an amazing town with plenty of culture and wonderful people.

It was nice. Cold and cozy, with lovely scenery. I hate German food, though. Even the Pizza Hut was too greasy. Thank God for our hosts, who had the decency to get me hooked on kiwi.

It’s a touristy little valley town with a few good bars… decent skiing… lots of U.S. Military… mostly people 45+ yrs old.
