| Hi there, I'm going to Frankfurt on business on the 8/3/07 and would love to make along weekend out of it and go skiing. Is there anywhere to go from Frankfurt? |

| Garmisch Partenkirchen is Germany's undisputed 'Winter Sports Capital', located only a short distance from the Austrian border in the country's southwestern corner. You'll need to take a train to Munich and Munich get on the IC 119 "Alpenland" If you driving by car see the attached map Here's more information. http://www.garmisch-partenkirchen.de |

| Do you mean besides the alps? The outer-reaches trickle into southern Germany and some decent resorts exist. That's the only range I know of that'd provide some good real skiing, but it's in the neighborhood of a 6-hour drive from Frankfurt (assuming you're driving) and could be a mess on weekends. The resort D360 mentioned, the Garmisch Partenkirchen, sits on the highest mountain in Germany (about 3K meters). |
