Private tours to the Partnach Gorge: three prices that are per group, not per person
The three per-group tours
- The Zugspitze, Highline179 and Neuschwanstein day — about seven hundred and twenty euros per group, 12 hours, rated 5.0 from 3 reviews. The mountain, the Highline179 footbridge and Neuschwanstein in one day.
- The private car day to Ettal, Linderhof and Eibsee — about eight hundred and thirty euros per group, 11 hours, rated 5.0 from 2 reviews. Ettal and Linderhof Palace as well as the lake, by private car. The entry fee: “if available”.
- The private Garmisch-Partenkirchen day — about nine hundred euros per group, 8 hours, no ratings yet. A private day built around Garmisch-Partenkirchen itself. The entry fee: the listing does not say.

What a group price actually means
Take the per group day. That is the whole party, so the arithmetic is yours to do: four of you makes it about two hundred and thirty euros each, six makes it about a hundred and fifty euros, and one of you makes it a very expensive taxi. Check the party size the listing allows before you run the sum, because the maximum is set by the vehicle and it is not the same on all three. The same applies to the per group day and the entry fee per group one.
A per-group price and a per-person price sit in the same layout on a listing page, and the only thing that separates them is a small word next to the figure. If you are comparing a group day against a per-person day for four people, you are comparing about eight hundred and thirty euros against about seven hundred and forty euros. Do that sum before you rule anything out.
The entry fee, on the private options
Neither per-group tour that comes here promises the gate fee outright. The private car day to Ettal, Linderhof and Eibsee lists “Entrance ticket to Partnachklamm (if available)”, and the private Garmisch-Partenkirchen day does not mention the ticket in either column. Silence is not inclusion. Ask the operator through the GetYourGuide message thread before the day, and carry the entry fee regardless. Every listing is quoted on the entry-fee page.
| Tour | From | The €10 gate fee |
|---|---|---|
| The private Garmisch-Partenkirchen day | €900 per group | The listing does not say |
| The private car day to Ettal, Linderhof and Eibsee | €830 per group | “If available” |
Private, but priced per person
Two more listings use the word private and charge by the head, which for a couple or a pair of friends usually works out better than hiring the vehicle. The private Eibsee, gorge and Mittenwald day is about a hundred and ninety euros per person and takes in Eibsee, the gorge and Mittenwald with a driver-guide; it is rated 4.8 from 17 reviews. The private car day to the Zugspitze and Eibsee is about four hundred euros per person for a private car with the route adapted to you, rated 5.0 from 15 reviews, and its exclusions name the Partnachklamm entry outright. A third, the Zugspitze and Eibsee long day, is sold either as a group departure or privately.

When a private day is the right call
What works
- A party of four or more, where the group price divides well
- Mobility, small children or a schedule that a fixed departure will not fit
- You want the gorge and Linderhof or Neuschwanstein in one day
- Winter, when the driving is the part you would rather not do
Worth knowing
- Two of you: the per-person listings are usually cheaper
- The gorge itself is self-guided and costs about ten euros, whoever drove you there
- The private Garmisch-Partenkirchen day has no ratings yet, so there is nothing to read before you book
- None of these skips a queue, because there is no queue to skip
Getting there, however you book
A private car still stops where every other vehicle stops. There is no road to the entrance, so the last 2.2 km from the ski stadium is on foot, about 25 minutes, and that applies to the per group day as much as to the train. The operator warns that short-notice closures for safety are sometimes unavoidable, so check partnachklamm.de on the morning you travel, whether you are coming on a tour or under your own steam.

Frequently asked questions
Are these private tour prices per person?
No. Three are priced per group: about nine hundred euros, about eight hundred and thirty euros and about seven hundred and twenty euros. That covers the vehicle and the driver for the day, so divide by your party size before comparing them with a per-person tour.
Does a private tour include the Partnach Gorge entry fee?
Not reliably. One per-group listing says the ticket is covered “if available” and the other says nothing at all. Carry about ten euros a head and confirm with the operator first. See which tours include entry.
Can a private car drive me to the gorge entrance?
No vehicle can. Everyone walks the last 2.2 km from the Olympic ski stadium, about 25 minutes, because there is no road to the hut. Getting there covers the car parks and their distances.
