Poster: A snowHead
|
Has anyone tried the train transfer from Innsbruck to Brunico to get to the Dolomites? Am thinking of doing this to get to Kronplatz/Selva on the 15th. Also what happens in Brunico as far as getting further into the Dolomites - presumably there are plenty of taxis/buses?

tessaventer, should be pretty easy, at least it is in summer. The bus stops outside the station and takes you down to Corvara/Colfosco. I travelled from Venice rather than Innsbruck though.

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

My concern is knowing the Italians the service will probably be erratic (eg only available on a Sunday)! Is there a website for the bus company with a timetable?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

tessaventer, Dont know of the train service, so cant help you on that. However getting from Kronplatz to the main areas (presuming you mean Sella Ronda) are easy, ski over to San Vigilo and get a bus to Pedraces, ski to La Villa and then you are in the main alta badia region, a couple of lifts and you are in Corvara and the main circuit. Make sure you get the times of the buses and then you will not have any waiting around.
Enjoy

You'll need to Register first of course.

Roy Hockley, that's really interesting, thanks; I love the runs down from Santa Croce above Pedraces and the little church (and rifugio!) at the top.

tessaventer, email the local tourist office, they've always been outstandingly helpful, e.g. I couldn't load the timetable online so the scanned and emailed me one. Italian trains are excellent IMO.

It's pretty easy - I made a similar journey 2 weeks ago.
You need to get the train up to the Brenner, then down to Fortezza. From there you need to change on to a Brunico train.
The only hold-up will be at Brenner where the train crew change from Austrain to Italian.
