A crisp Bavarian morning opens on Marienplatz: tram bells, the Glockenspiel's mechanical procession and the square's stone faces turning toward a guide who will lead you out of the city and into the high Alps. By midday the urban grid gives way to rolling foothills, and by late morning on day two the air thins as Zugspitze's granite and ice push the skyline into jagged perspective.
