recommendations for Alps trip to Garmisch-Partenkirchen?

We're spending 4 nights, 3 days in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (two adults, 1 teen). Plan to train from Munich, then heading to Vienna afterward. We're pretty adventurous, easy-going, love the outdoors and history, budget-mindful.

Any recommendations for things to know and what to do? Alpine slide, Zugspitze or Alpspitze, castle tour... what else?

And, I'd love to avoid airbnb - any recommendations for a place to stay with a small kitchenette? (trying to save money by eating in sometimes).

Thanks!

I assume you will rent a car while in GP? There is an Alpine Coaster just outside Oberammergau. Im not sure which castle tour you are interested in, but Linderhof is only a half hour drive away. And the Partnach Gorge hike is an easy, enjoyable one that is nearby.

why rent a car? There's enough accesible by public transport to fill 3 days. Including go to Mittenwald and see what an old, pretty alpine village really looks like. And whilst you are there go up their mountain https://www.karwendelbahn.de/en/

Travel from Munich: is this from the airport and what time of day do you expect to start (time doesn't matter at weekends).

Travel to Vienna, go via Innsbruck
