Lermoos is one of the oldest villages in the Außerfern region, situated on the edge of the Lermooser Moos, a wide basin offering unobstructed views of the Zugspitze massif. Historically, the village thrived due to its location on the Fern Pass route, a key trade path across the Alps. Today, it is a centerpiece of the Zugspitz Arena, primarily known for the Grubigstein ski area, which provides demanding runs and modern facilities paired with iconic views of Germany's highest mountain. For mountain bikers, Lermoos is a major hub, as the region has been repeatedly voted the best biking area in Austria. A network of single trails and gravel paths leads to alpine huts like Tuftl Alm, which features a famous viewing platform. In winter, the flat marshlands ('Moos') between Lermoos and Ehrwald are well-suited for cross-country skiers, providing kilometers of tracks under the shadow of the Wetterstein mountains. The village landscape is defined by the Baroque parish church of St. Katherine with its distinctive onion dome. Visitors should try the local Tyrolean 'Graukäse' cheese, a regional specialty. Lermoos is easily reached via the Fern Pass road or the Außerfernbahn railway. The peak season for skiing is January to March, while September and October offer the best conditions for clear-sky alpine hiking.
