The local bus route No.2 (Direction “Kreuzeck – Alpspitzbahn”) will take you from the railway station directly to the Institute (leave at station “Hammersbacher Fußweg”). For more information, contact Deutsche Bahn AG (German Railways) or plan your trip with the DB Bahn route planner
      • by bus There is a bus directly from Munich Airport to Garmisch-Partenkirchen via Munich Central Bus Station (ZOB). It runs several times a day. (runned by FLIXBUS)
      • by car via A 95 and B 2 to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. In town follow the road sign to Fernpass/Reutte/Grainau, then turn left to “KIT-Campsu Alpin and “Kreuzeckbahn/Alpspitzbahn”. Plan your trip with this route planner.
      • by airplane via Munich Airport (“Franz-Josef-Strauß”), which has direct connections with most of national and international cities. Then take the ‘Airport bus’ or ‘S-Bahn’ to Munich Central Station. From there take the train to Garmisch-Partenkirchen (s. above).

    Getting to KIT IMK-IFU

      Instructions for walking or taking public transportation to KIT can be found below. Upon arriving at KIT, follow the signs to the large seminar room.

        • by bus (20 minutes) the bus station ‘Michael-Ende-Kurpark’ is 130 m from the entrance of the Biohotel Garmischer Hof. Take the “2” toward Kreuzeck/Alpspitzbahn, Garmisch-Partenkirchen for 11 stops and get off at the ‘Hammersbacherfußweg’ station. This station is located at the front gate of KIT.
        • by foot (45 minutes) the walk to KIT is a mostly flat, scenic walk that will take you through a well-maintained path for hikers and cyclists called the “WANDERWEG/Riessersee- Hausberg Skistadion”.

          Weather

          The IMK-IFU at the KIT-Campus Alpin in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is located in the Bavarian Alps. In November, you can expect temperatures to typically range between 8°C to -2°C (46°C to 29°C). Precipitation as either rain or snow is possible.
