Travel Insider Tips

Regarding Bavaria in winter-time, it might also be interesting to go and visit the Vier-Schanzen-Tournee (Four-ski jump-Tour) when they stop in Oberstdorf and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The atmosphere there is amazing and it's really interesting to watch this guys jumping off the ski-jump. The Vier-Schanzen-Tournee always takes place in the last week of December and first week of January on four different places in Germany and Austria. It's definately worth a visit.
