 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Hi all. We're flying into Munich on the 14th January at around 10.30am. I was thinking about getting the train up to St. Anton. Anyone have any experience of this? I've heard traffic out of Munich a this time of the season can be problematic. So the 4 hours on train may be a bit quicker in the end.

No real idea, but it's going to be a roundabout route. At a guess Munich-Innsbruck-StAnton. Try www.bahn.de
I found the worst traffic out of Munich was going towards Salzburg. You will be going via Garmisch and over the Fernpass which should be easier.
Getting around Munich is your worst problem.
It is around 2h30m from Munich town though, so quicker than train.
Are you sure the train is 4 hours from the airport. It will take you 40min on the S-Bahn from the airport to Munich central station.

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

Depending on time of travel, 4 or 5 hours with 2 or 3 changes

I went Munich - Schladming last year and just book to do the same. It's easy, cheap, clean and comes with complimentary spectacular scenery

I've done trains from Munich to Zell am See and Innsbruck to St Anton. Both have been really easy journeys. As noted by Dr John, the oebb.at site is worth checking. Something about it seems a bit more user friendly than the DB one.
If your journey is anything like the 2 I mentioned then happy days. Great scenery and easy times letting the train take the strain. Can I recommend a can or 2 of Otterkringer (or something like that) to ease the journey further

Not got train to St Anton but have got it several times to Ischgl. Its about the same distance and takes about the same time 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Great way to travel. Relax, have a beer or two and take in the scenery. If the party is 5 people or more you used to be able to get a big discount as well. Not sure if it still applies but worth checking out.

Did it with one change from Munich Centre about 8 years ago - can't remember the change. Super efficient on time, clean, beer and good views - you will need a cab at the far end though.

You'll need 2 changes. Munich Airport to Munich Hauptbahnhof using the S Bahn then to Innsbruck then to St Anton. All pretty simple and should take about 4 1/2 hours depending on connections.

kjoc, Its dead easy, change at Munich, then 2x on route, very quick yet civilised changes, and trains run on time! Book in advance with debahn.com, will be doing it Jan 27th. We get late flight on Friday stay in hotel next to Munich station and then get 06.40am train to St Anton, travel in ski gear - on slopes by 10.30am, leave bags in lockers at station at St Anton, walk across road to Rendlbahn. Couldnt be simpler, PM me if you need any specific info.
