Winter is a great time to visit the Alps. Up to no Winter is a great time to visit the Alps. Up to now, @christosklerides and I have been to Chamonix in the French Alps, Inssbruck in the Tyrolean Alps, Kranjska Gora in the Julian Alps and now Mittenwald in the Bavarian Alps. 

And as I am not a great skier (I can barely stand up in the skis..) we always look for other opportunities to enjoy the snowy mountains.

I always love an opportunity to take a lift up a b I always love an opportunity to take a lift up a building, hike a hill or (even better 😉) climb some stairs to the top of a tower to enjoy the views from there. Here are some 5 view points you should consider visiting while in Munich:

[SAVE FOR LATER]

1. New Town Hall Tower (take the lift to floor 4, then another one to floor 9 - outdoor observatory)
2. St. Peter’s Church Tower (climb the stairs to the top - outdoor observatory)
3. Frauenkirche Tower (combination of stairs and lift - indoor observatory)
4. Monopteros (small hill at the English Garden)
5. Olympic Tower (travel 190m by lift- both indoor + outdoor observatory)

Bonus: Olympia Hill (small hill at the Olympic Park)

Do you like chasing viewpoints?
