 Poster: A snowHead
|
On the scrounge for some tips for getting from Innsbruck to Obergurgl next month - and back again.
Looked at car hire (c.£250) and taxis (c.£200), but is there a trick I’ve missed, and/or a third way?
FWIW dates are 6th Dec - 11th Dec for 2 x adults and 1 x 4-yo.

Cheapest way is to take the public bus from outside the airport to Innsbruck Bahnhof, then take a train to Otztal and then another public bus to Obergurgl. It's not the quickest way to get there but is quite cheap. I think each leg takes about:
Airport - train station bus: 15 mins
Innsbruck - Otztal train: 20 - 40 min
Otztal - Obergurgl bus: 90 mins
There's also the Oztal Shuttle bus but this may be a bit pricey for 3 of you.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

The numbers are right but take in consideration the waiting period between train and bus. Last year wee took the 10/11 AM bus to Otztal station (don't recall precisely the exact hour) and had to wait for almost 2 hours for the train. We regretted not booking a shuttle/renting a car.

@drporat, yes, of course there's the waiting time but the bus quite often arrives into Otztal just before the train departs. I've never had to wait two hours for a train and use the OBB app to check the train times.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Kelskii, You are probably right and it might have been my bad luck. Maybe i arrived in between or there was some local issue/delay.
I just checked the website for a random day in December, and some slots are perfect.
We left Obergurl after breakfast in no hurry and we didn't have to wait long for the bus. But we definitely waited way over one hour for the train at Otztal, and that convinced me to rent a car this time
