 Poster: A snowHead
|
We're probably going to the Ski welt in March and are wondering about getting from Munich Airport to resort (Hopfgarten) by train. I know we can hire a car, but I'm wondering how the train would work as an alternative. We'd be carrying hold luggage and skis each.
Where's the best place to look at train timetables and prices?

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

We went by train from Munich to Kufstein - had a Bayern ticket & used the local Meridian trains, €32 for the 2 of us. We then had a bus to Soll (€4.50 each). I think there’s a bus from Kufstein to Hopfgarten but best to check on that! Might be best to go to Worgl?!

Did you buy the Bayern ticket online before you left? I think I can do that on the DBB website.
Or at the airport?
Do you then get off the train in Kufstein and buy a ticket for the remainder of your journey?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We bought the ticket when we got there - easy enough from the machines, a bit more expensive if you go to the ticket booth. (We landed at 10.30, collected our luggage, bought ticket & were on the train at 11 for the 11.04 departure!) The bus station in Kufstein is next to the train station - paid on the bus.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Need to write everyone’s names on the ticket once you get on the train!

You can buy a Bayern ticket online see https://www.bahn.de/en/view/offers/regional/regional-day-ticket-for-bavaria.shtml . Yes you do need to have the names of those travelling on the ticket (get a pen from the ticket inspector if necessary). Note that the ticket is NOT valid on EC trains, in this case the ones that go from Munich via Innsbruck to Verona etc.
There is a train to Hopfgarten but it goes from Wörgl rather than Kufstein, in which case a Bayern ticket would mean a lot of faff for little if any gain. S bahn to Munich Ost, local train to Kufstein, buy new ticket, train to Wörgl, train to Hopfgarten. More sensible just to buy a ticket for whole journey, though it is highly recommended to reserve seats from Munich to Wörgl assuming you book the direct train.

The train times didn't really work with our flight times so we've now booked a transfer with Four Seasons. Since we'll be carrying skis, we decided this would also be easier as it's door to door.
