Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomed on the red carpet his six partners the American Joe Biden, the Frenchman Emmanuel Macron, the Briton Boris Johnson, the Canadian Justin Trudeau, the Italian Mario Draghi and the Japanese Fumio Kishida. Only Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson came accompanied by their wife Brigitte Macron and Carrie Johnson.

Britta Ernst, wife of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, has traditionally prepared a program for them in this landscape between meadows and wooden chalets. German ski champions Christian Neureuther and Miriam Neureuther presented them with the natural site around Lake Ferchensee on Sunday, near the G7 summit. The next day, they met Paralympic athletes and young biathletes. They also met researchers from the meteorological and climatic research center “Schneefernerhaus”, established since 1931 in the Zugspitze massif. Brigitte Macron will leave on Tuesday for the NATO summit which is being held in Madrid until June 30.
