It may be problematic to find a minibus on the spot, so if you need such a vehicle, book it in advance. Also, be careful when dealing with private taxi drivers: ripping off passengers is frequent among them.

The safest and most reliable way to reach the town is using a private transfer. Reserving it, you know the price for your journey beforehand and it never rises after your order is made. This option is also the fastest: when your flight arrives, the transfer driver is already waiting for you inside the terminal, so you don’t have to look for any rank or wait for your car to arrive.

Public Transport to Garmisch-Partenkirchen

First, take an S-Bahn train to the Bavarian capital (Line S1 or S8). This will cost you €13. In the city, change to a train going to the resort. The fare will depend on the train type. The high-speed one will take you to the town for €23.2 (2nd-class).
