Took the rack and pinion railway up the Zugspitz in the Bavarian alps last week. It really is a steep climb, the first part with fantastic views of the mountains and forests followed by 20 minutes in a tunnel climbing to the top. When you got there to stepped out into a snowy mountain wonderland with awesome mountain views and the chance to get out and about in the snow. I'd recommend this trip to anyone if you're staying in Munich, don't even need to forsake the beer as there's a bar at the top too and reasonable priced considering they've a captive audience.
