I'm a local at Colosseo. It's great! They had to expand because they are so busy. Outdoor terrace available too. The atmosphere is very social and busy, (not romantic), however, the food is excellent. They also do deliveries! The best pizza in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Try the grilled prawns or their baguette pizza's.

Beautiful gorge walk. Take a torch or use your phone light for the darker parts. It's always pretty cold in the gorge and wet from the running river so wear appropriate clothing. There is an alm hut further up to which you can eat at. 5 EURO entry. A must see!

Incredible the Top of Germany. Take the new cable car or the train up to the summit. The train leaves from Grainau. Or take the Eibsee Bus a 5minute walk from the house. Then change to the train or cable car at the Eibsee Lake. Wonderful views. Walk over the Austrian side as well for a panoramic view. Check out the Ice Hotel, ski, eat up there, there's a chapel up there too.
