FAQ

What should I know about travelling by train?

Travelling by train is a relaxed and eco-friendly way to reach South Tyrol. Intercity, EuroCity and Railjet trains operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Austrian Railways (ÖBB), as well as Trenitalia’s Frecce services, stop only in Bozen and Brixen. Regional trains, however, also stop in Waidbruck. From the Brenner Pass onwards, your Südtirol Guest Pass is valid and allows you to continue your journey free of charge – though only on regional trains and only after validating your Guest Pass at Brenner station. In DB and ÖBB trains, you can also purchase the “South Tyrol connecting ticket” for €5.00. This ticket allows you to use public transport throughout South Tyrol on both your arrival and departure days. Direct train connections – without changing trains – to Brixen or Bozen run from Munich, Vienna and Innsbruck. A night train, the Intercity Notte, connects Rome with the Brenner Pass and stops in Bozen and Brixen. From these stations, direct bus services take you to the Dolomites Region Seiser Alm in around 30 to 50 minutes, depending on your destination. Alternatively, you can book a shuttle with “Südtirol Transfer”, which takes you from the station of your choice directly to your accommodation.
