 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I'm trying to work out the best way to get four people to lofer on a Thursday morning from Salzburg (and back in the Monday) in January.
Flight lands 9 25am and my immediate instinct is a taxi given there are four of us. I know there is a bus (260) but from looking at a timetable I'm not sure it works timing wise - seems to be one at 12 25. I could be looking an at old timetable or even the wrong one though
Happy to take suggestions both on potential taxi companies and whether there is a better option.
Thanks!

@TomBH, looks like the buses are limited, and the train options rely on the same bus as the final leg anyway, so looks like a taxi is the best option.
I'd start with a Lofer company, rather than one at the airport - try https://www.duernberger-taxi-bus.at/taxi-salzburger-saalachtal who also run the skibus in the village. I have no experience of them or of the skiing in Lofer, but they're likely to be cheaper than a Salzburg taxi and may be able to run a shared transfer as they have larger vehicles.

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

@ousekjarr, thanks! Shame as I wouldn't have minded giving Austrian public transport a go.
Will get in touch with them.

@quinton, can you point me in the direction of the right timetable as I couldn't see this on the one I was looking at? Much appreciated.

On page 2 - Montag bis Freitag. The F means the bus only runs on non-school days, the S that it runs only on school days (the only difference being the route it takes in Saalfelden and Zell according to whether the schools are open, so there is no impact on the Salzburg - Lofer section).
This is the timetable up until 12 December 2022. The new timetable for 2022-23 has yet to be published but there are rarely any changes. The timetable for this route hasn't changed in years.

Odd, Scotty https://fahrplan.oebb.at/webapp/ didn't show that bus... but I suspect I was looking on a Saturday because I was on autopilot. Going back now and making sure I had a weekday selected, it is definitely there.

Hi all,
Setting off for this trip on 19 Jan for a long weekend.
All set for the 10 47 to Lofer. Two quick questions:
1. Cash for the bus fare to the driver rather in advance? Can't find the price but assume a few euros each.
2. Bus stop right outside the airport?

@TomBH, the bus costs 9,30€ and you can buy this online in advance:
https://fahrplan.salzburg-verkehr.at
The bus stop is on the road facing the parking house directly in front of the Airport entry.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@TomBH, download the Salzburg Verkehr app and buy the tickets through it, for the whole group, show it to the bus driver (you will have four tickets with QR codes)

You know it makes sense.

Thanks to everyone for their help - bus worked perfectly other than having to wave quite frantically to get it to stop
