Garmisch base for this itinerary??

Hello, my family of 4 (2 kids age 12 and 10) have a rental home booked in GP May 30-June 3 as our middle stop on a 2 week trip (first 6 nights Salzkammergut area & last 4 nights in Dolomites) by car. I am still having 2nd thoughts if GP is a good base for Bavaria activities. The family does enjoy slightly busier towns with good shopping, activities & food options. Since we will experience scenic lifts and hikes at the other spots, we will bypass the Zugspitze. Our intentions are to have a day for Linderhof/Oberammergau/Ettal, another day for a train into Munich, and a third as a castle day (Ehrenburg ruins & castles at Fussen, although we won't tour those). We also intend on visiting Partnam Gorge & Mittenwald otw out. I was really struggling between GP, Oberammergau and Zugspitze Arena (Bieberwier) as a base and landed on GP ultimately. Thoughts?

Garmish is great for Southern Bavaria.
I highly recommend the Fraundorfer Hotel. It has a great restaurant there as well.
