 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just about to book a hol this winter in Mayrhofen, really like the idea of being able to jump on an bus and have day trips at completely different resorts all on the same lift pass that are near by.
Can anyone advise on how frequent the buses, how long the journeys are and timings etc.
Thanks in advance!

There's also the train. Kaltenbach is probably the most convenient - I think it's just a short walk between station and the lifts. Zell am Ziller and Gerlos would need a bus.

The narrow gauge Zillertalbahn railway runs from Mayrhofen all the way down the valley (and like the busses is included in your area liftpass), usually 2 trains every hour, see website.
Kaltenbach gondola base station is just a few hundred yards walk from the station called Kaltenbach/Stumm, and the uplift capacity at Kaltenbach is large as there are two gondola systems running in parallel. Kaltenbach ski area is linked with Hochfugen and together provides 181km of pistes, more info here where you can see the piste map and view piste videos.

I can`t recall the precise frequency of the buses but they were pretty good. We were based at Kaltenbach and negotiated the valley by bus most days. Taxis were also plentiful and reasonably cheap if a number of you were sharing.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The buses up the valley towards Hintertux run about every 30 minutes at the peak times IIRC. Bus station is at the train station for Mayrhofen.
As mentioned, if travelling down the valley, take the train - it really is straightforward and is free on your Zillertal ski pass. The bus that runs regularly from the train station to the lifts at Zell am Ziller is very easy. Again IIRC, the journey by train was about 30 minutes.

hey just incase you're still reading this thread, beware a little if you're planning on coming early or late as many services run MUCH less frequently before christmas and after easter
