Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Google says take the A95 via Garmisch, is that the best route to go?

Thanks.

That is the shortest route over the FernPass

Is the pass passable in winter?

Yes it is, cleared regularly, but.....you can never know what to expect. you must have winter tyres and snowchains as a precautionary measure. Garmisch through the town gets quite busy but is alway moving.

Might be worth pointing out that the Fernpass gets very busy on Friday afternoon/evenings too..

I came back over it a few weeks ago, and there were queues all the way back as far as Reutte Shocked

I've never experienced it being closed for snow. You also almost never need chains, but definitely do need winter tires. I does get busy at times for sure, but then so does the route via Mittenwald / Zirler Berg, and getting past the road works around Innsbruck isn't much fun either!

If you´re travelling on a Saturday you should avoid the Fernpass. You can get stuck in traffic for ages.
The A95 from Munich to Garmisch is the quietest and most direct, but don´t go from there to the Fernpass.
Carry on towards Seefeld and then drive through the town of Seefeld and down to Telfs via Moesern (Mösern).
Here you can jump on the A12 motorway towards Landeck, Ischgl, but remember to buy a motorway sticker for Austria first (available at all petrol stations).
The main passes are open in winter, but can be interesting in heavy snow and traffic. Winter tyres and chains (just in case) are a must.
All routes are busy on a Saturday and often Sunday too (changeover day), so plan a little longer for the journey.

Thanks all. I was trying to avoid taking Innsbruck road since my experience when the racing is at Kitzbuhel is that the traffic is hell in that direction. A95 through Seefeld sounds like a plan. Any idea how long it will take?

I assume you´re starting at Munich airport.
You should take 3 to 3.5 hrs if traffic is light over the Seefeld route.
Expect it to be longer if it´s a Saturday though
