Driving from Munich Airport to Mayrhofen

Good Lad!! we fly out Saturday 19th, the day before you, also counting the days already and driving the wife CRAZY :!:
Never know, may bump into Tony_H and Ellistine at Innsbruck Airport..... :D
The last time we drove to Hintertux as far as I can remeber we didn't have any problems until we hit Lanersbach, Mayrhofen is so low down and the Austrians could certainly teach us English a trick or two about keeping the roads clear I really don't envisage you needing the chains, but in the event you do just remember to keep your speed to about 40mph, any more is bad news with chains :shock:

Ahem, its the Eisbar.

First Choice - Stansted to Innsbruck arriving 12.25, so perhaps no tarmac waving after all :cry:

I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids!

Go to the ICE BAR at the bottom of Penkenbahn as soon as your day skiing is done... very lively indeed.

Just another thing to note.
If you're hiring your car in Germany - and taking it to Austria - check that this is allowed and that they give you a 'Vehicle on hire' certificate and breakdown cover for Austria.
If the car does not have chains - beware. I've tried to get away with this an ended up buying chains for a 'one off' use - to make it the last 5km to the resort. (Money making scam they have - a soon as they can get away with it - they stop all non 4x4 cars and insist they have chains.... and you can be sure they'll have somebody there selling them.)
