Location
The Environmental Research Station Schneefernerhaus is a high alpine station located at 2650 m.a.s.l on Germany's highest mountain: Zugspitze

The Schneefernerhaus is situated in a steep flank just below the summit (2962 m.a.s.l.). The station is reachable by its own cable car from the skiing resort at the slopes of the Zugspitz-Platt.

The Schneefernerhaus (engl. the house at the snowy glacier) was built in 1930 as a hotel and turned into a research station in 1999. It houses a GAW global station  and since 2001 the GAW Training and Education Centre.
