Garmisch-Partenkirchen Mid-March weather?
Posted: Mon November 3, 2008 04:22 PM UTC
My wife and I have been to GaP a few times, but it's always been in the fall or, at latest, late December. What can we expect weather to be like mid-March? We are looking to go to GaP again March 14-21, 2009. Hope there will be some snow to enjoy! We did some cross country skiing and some sledding last time, and may take snowshoes if weather will warrant it. Many thanks!

Impossible to predict months in advance. Chances for snow are good in March but there is no guarantee.

Thanks, Kathrin E. I understand that it's hard to predict weather so far in advance; I was just hoping someone could give me an idea of what March is USUALLY like. Thanks again!

~ 38F, so snow is likely.

With that said, you can easily have tons of snow all year round. All you need to do is to take the cable car up Mount Zugspitze. It will cost you an arm and a leg, but it is something you should do on a sunny day.

Thanks, Turtleshell. We have done the Zugspitze visit on other trips, and it was indeed a lovely trip; hopefully we'll have enough snow in GaP to do some cross country skiing!

Chances are not bad in March - in recent years the heavy snowfalls came far later than usual, mostly in March or even April instead of January. Every year is different, though, and thanks to global warming the weather has become even crazier and harder to predict. Fingers and skis crossed!
