Poster: A snowHead
|
About 10 years ago I made this trip and you could book a coach from the Airport to St Anton.
I've just booked some cheap flights and can't find this as an option anywhere.
What are the best options for a cost effective transfer? What do other regular travellers do?
Thanks

Not done this route but it looks like you can get a direct train. Austrian/German trains are great, I used trains to go from Serfaus to Zell am Ziller last Christmas - enjoyable journey and very good value.

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

The train is ok but from memory 2 changes needed. Used to be Arlberg express that done it but I think they only do Zurich???

We (four people) rent a car. Friedrichshafen is superbly cheap if you book in advance. About half the price of Munich/Innsbruck.
We have a Skoda Octavia Estate for £154. Last year we had a Mondeo estate for £170.
Admittedly we go to Ishgl, and have some very early morning return flights, so train transfer was a bit more tricky. But consider a car if there are more than one of you!
If just you though, and there's a train, take that. Train is the best way to travel if you have direct and convenient stops, IMHO. Relaxing, scenic and a big night before the return trip is more possible than when you have to drive...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There's a really clever 'app' on the Bodensee-Friedrichshafen airport site that plans out various options for onward transfer using either hire car, bus or train.

Sounds like Friedrichshafen is losing attraction. E.g. Dutch Transavia is quitting it per this season.
Roadconnection Friedrichshafen-Arlberg on a saturday is very much prone to congestion

Brilliant, I'll check out the various options. Thanks.
