Seefeld Travel Information

Seefeld is one of the most convenient Austrian mountain resorts to get to. It is within 30 minutes of a major airport, has direct rail links to Munich and Innsbruck and is a short distance away from motorway links both to the north and south.

Not only that, but it makes a perfect place to base a touring holiday - in under one hour you can be in Italy or Germany, relaxing by a lake or climbing at 2000 metres.

Air Travel to Seefeld

Innsbruck Airport

Innsbruck is by far and away the most convenient airport for getting to Seefeld by air. It is less than 30 minutes up onto the plateau by car or taxi, has decent public transport connections (public bus followed by train) and offers a wide range of scheduled and charter flights in the summer months.

Munich Airport

Munich is not a bad second choice to Innsbruck. This major airport in southern Germany offers a great choice of destinations at reasonable prices and has rail links all the way to the Seefeld plateau. A low-cost bus service runs several times a day direct from the airport stopping just outside Seefeld and any hire car journey is mostly on motorways (apart from a trip around the Munich ring road and the last section into Austria).

Salzburg Airport

A favourite for travel company charter flights serving the Salzburg region lake resorts in the summer time, so there is a good choice of destinations to fly from. Again, a public bus & train will connect the airport to Seefeld while the road journey is around two hours.

Seefeld train station

There are occasional rail services in Seefeld to and from cities in Germany - otherwise Munich and connections out of Munich can often be reached by changing at Mittenwald. The rail journey to Munich takes between two and three hours, depending on connections and changes.

Those travelling in Bavaria or via Munich Airport should look at the German railway company for two day tickets:

  • Werdenfels + Innsbruck
    This covers travel for one day on non-Intercity trains between Innsbruck and Munich Airport via Mittenwald and Garmisch as well as the Munich S-Bahn services but does not include the underground (U-Bahn) in Munich
  • Bayern Ticket
    This covers all non-Intercity trains in Bavaria for one day. Holders of this ticket would need to get to Mittenwald for the start of its validity.

Both tickets allow extra people to be added on at a cheap supplement.
