In reply to Ramblin dave:
As to when to go and fire your enthusiasm - look at the webcams at
http://www.foto-webcam.eu/ as most are in Germany / Austria to see when the snow disappears (you can change the date, and also zoom in nicely). If you pick one (eg. Zugspitze gipfel) the rest are listed by proximity and the info>map tab will show you where they are exactly. Like most places in the Alps, when you want 'non-snowy' stuff pre-July is risky, especially on Northern faces. Start of September is normally the best time as it avoids late snow patches, the summer (August) crowds and thunderstorms, yet the lifts & huts are still working. You can see the first of autumn snows though, I got caught out like that a couple of years ago.
Anyhow, Training in from Munich is easy - either to Fussen, Murnau, Garmisch, or Rosenheim areas. Fussen will get you to the Allgauer alps (Tegelberg webcam, Neuschwanstein castle). If you go the Murnau way you can get to the Hoernle area for nice walking around 800-1600m altitude (mostly wooded, but with grass summits). Garmisch and beyond (Mittenwald, Innsbruck etc.) give you access to the alps proper and some good VF (Mittenwalder Hohenweg, Alpsitze Ferrata, Mauerlaufer klettersteig, Hollental klettersteig etc.). Zugspitze summit is an excellent viewpoint on the edge of the alps and the Hollental klettersteig gets you up there if you don't want to pay for the underground funicular/cablecar (Be warned that the long cablecar will be out of order soon for replacement). Someone posted a link to the DAV huts website on here recently. Alpspitze has some easy climbing on it but I've not done any climbing in the area so can't comment. Herzogstand-Heimgarten ridge is a lovely easy day out but I don't know how practical it is without a car - I think you could do it from the train at the western end.
If you weren't bothered about seeing lots of places then Garmisch is the no-brainer - stay in the hut below the Alpspitze and do climbing on it and the 3 VFs from there.
