Concerts Above the Clouds

Wank unplugged brings live music to one of Upper Bavaria's most spectacular venues: the summit plateau of the Wank, the so-called sun mountain of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. At around 1,780 meters altitude, below the Sonnenalm, visitors experience concerts against the backdrop of the Wetterstein Mountains and the Zugspitze – Germany's highest mountain.

Hand-picked Programme

Several bands perform each day over two days. The festival focuses on a carefully curated programme ranging from indie, German pop, singer-songwriter tunes, and alpine sound. Newcomers and established artists share the stage. The concerts begin in the afternoon, allowing the music to transition into the evening against the mountain panorama.
