Drivers should be aware that Austria charges a toll for motorway usage in the form of the "vignette" - a sticker which is placed on the inside of the windscreen. Stickers for short holiday durations are available.
The Brenner motorway, leading to Italy, is a toll motorway which is not covered by this scheme and is subject to an additional charge, as are a number of private tunnels and toll roads in the mountains.
Rail Travel
Seefeld and Scharnitz lie on the main railway line between Munich and Innsbruck with regular services passing through the villages.
The journey down to Innsbruck is one of the most spectacular main line journeys in the Alps and is recommended to all visitors, even if they have arrived by car.
Passes for different regions are available from the Austrian railways and can be of value to those who want to do a lot of local sightseeing.
