Zugspitzplatt Station, also known as the Glacier Station Zugspitzplatt, is a high-altitude railway terminus of the Bayerische Zugspitzbahn, a cog railway that connects Garmisch-Partenkirchen to the Zugspitzplatt, a plateau on Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain at 2,962 meters (9,718 ft). Situated at approximately 2,588 meters (8,491 ft) above sea level, the station serves as a critical interchange point for the Gletscherbahn cable car, which transports passengers to the summit in about five minutes. The station is a key hub for tourists visiting the Zugspitze, particularly during winter when the surrounding area becomes Germany's highest ski resort.
