Apologies for reposting ... I realized I missed the "e" at end of Zugspitze and could not find a way to edit my original post

We are a family of 4 adults and one 4 year old boy traveling to the Mittenwald region in June ... I am looking at the website for the Zugspitze and trying to undertsand my options ...

http://www.zugspitze.de/en/winter/be...-rundreise.htm

Can someone please help me understand how it works and make sure that I am looking at this correctly... Reading on the above website and a few other websites, here is what I have gathered

- I can take the cog wheel train from Garmisch ... That will take us upto SonNAlpin .. Then from there there is a cable care Gletscherbahn that will take us to the top .. This will total take about 75 mins of travel time
- On the way back, I can take the eibsee-seilbahn back down to Eibsee and take the train back to Garmisch ..
- If I decide to drive and not take the train, I would take the cable car up and down from Eibsee
- The cost is the same for the roundtrip to Zugspitze, whether I take the train and cable car combo or just the cable car from Eibsee ..

Have I understood this correctly?

If yes, where do I get my tickets for the train + cable car combo? Also, is the train ride worth the extra time? I am thinking my son might enjoy it and also be a different experience for us adults and give us a chance to relax and enjoy ...

Also is there a train ride and cable car combo option from the Austrian side?

I know this is too sepcfic a question but I do hope you all will help me resolve this ...

Correct.

Take the train to Ehrwald (about 30 min) and take the cable car from there. It's a lot faster, and compared to Garmisch, the village is lovely.

No idea about train combos from there, I'd drive.
