Poster: A snowHead

Hello all. Been enjoying voyeuring you for months but now I have a question...
Anyone know the train situation from M|unich Airport? Is there are direct train or do you have to haul everything to the centre of Munich first?

Welcome to snowHeads, Bode Swiller. Neat name! Sorry, I haven't a clue about Munich as I always ski in France . Someone will know though.

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

Bode Swiller, I've done this journey by train and I think you can improve on my connection. I think you can do it via Munchen Ostbahnhof, rather than the main station (Munchen Hauptbahnhof), which will save a little time. It would be less of a struggle through the station, too.
Maybe make enquiries via the DB - German national railways.

David Goldsmith, I've always gone to Hauptbahnhof... more enjoyable place to wait for a train. The train connection really works well I've found.
There is of course a helicopter transfer service from Munich Airport... met a guy in Kitz who'd done it... only £250 a head each way.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Bode Swiller, the train does go direct from the airport. If you go to the Austrian train site (seeing as most of your journey is in Austria!) at http://www.oebb.at/vip8/oebb/en/index.jsp and put in the airport as starting point and Kufstein as the destination it gives you all the options. Startlingly cheap it is too. We got something like a 70% discount for having a group of 5 or more or something daft like that.
Takes an hour and 40 minutes and you have to change twice, at Munich East and Rosenheim. Wasn't too bad though - can thoroughly recommend it!

Anything is better than trying to drive around Munich - from memory the motorways were clogged!

carled, thanks. I'll go investigate. I knew it was possible by changing trains. What I was hoping for was a direct train straight out of the airport to the snow. Whatever, 1hr 40 seems better than I had expected.
stevo_the_saddler, stuck for 8 hours a few years back (incredible snow storm). Luckily that was going from the airport to resort so no missed flight.
