Getting from Munich to Worgl

Has anyone flown into Munich and then travelled by train to Worgl? We're hoping to get to Niederau and the surrounding area in the summer and I think this is the only airport that we can fly to directly from Belfast. It's definately the cheapest flights I can get anyway. If anyone has travelled this route can you let me know the details? Ta v much!

Hi SkiGirl
I'm no expert, but I believe you can get a train from Munich to either Salzburg or Innsbruck. From there, a local train should get you to Worgl. I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be a train straight to Worgl from Munich.
I recommend buying a European train timetable. It's not very expensive and should show you where all the trains go. Look at this link http://www.seat61.com/Thomas-Cook-European-Timetable.htm

Maybe someone else on this forum can provide some more detailed info?

Worgl isn't that far from Niederau, but involves a really twisty road up into the mountains :shock:

The Austrian Railway site is probably best :

Get a car at Munich and drive it. That way you can explore further afield too.

Hmmm, not sure about hiring a car, we've never driven abroad before so it might be a bit risky :shock: The Austrian Railway site seems quite good - I think it works out timetables for you. Thanks :)

Hi SkiGirl,
Sorry to be slow in responding ~ I was making the same journey in reverse today!

There are basically two services Munich Flughaven to Wörgl.

The quickest is to change at Munich Hauptbahnhof. The connecting train then goes direct through to Wörgl. The only issie is that the change is a bit complicated, in that you have to come off the S-bahn station, up esculators, out into the street, re-enter the main rail station, and then find your platform.

The second involves two changes, Munchen Ost, and Rosenheim. At OstMunchen you go down steps, walk along to your platform and up to the connection. At Rosenheim, normally, the connecting platform is the one adjacent to that which you arrive on, ie walk two yards.

Don't worry if you seem only to have a few minutes between connecting trains, you can set your watch using the arrival times.

Cost is 29 Euro single pp. for the slow train, and 3 or 4 Euros more for the quicker train. A return fare is double.

You can buy on line, although I haven't done this. To buy at Munich Airport, follow the signs for the station. There is a ticket desk, just before the esculator down to the platform. When you buy your ticket, you will be given a detail sheet, showing arr/dep times, and arr/dep platforms.

However, this sheet does not always show the return info, so you should download this info before you leave.

You can also consult the DeutscheBahn website, but this has been undergoing recent change, so may be a bit iffy.

Any other queries, fire away.

I'd defo go for the car option. Driving abroad is not difficult, and you will have SOOOOO much more flexibility.

It's a AWESOME drive!! It's what Tony E45 to A12? It was a very easy ride. I'm so happy for you!! Being from the US the only thing I noticed about the driving is people actually know how to! :lol:

Stay the speed limit tickets are expensive also don't forget the vignette sticker. You'll need to get one before you reach the border happy trails

Going via train is nice as well, they both have there pros and cons
