Getting to Kitzbühel

Three train stations in Kitzbühel, a taxi service, simple connections to the nearby airports, and a well established public transport network make it easy for you to get to our ski resorts in the heart of the Alps.

Kitzbühel and its holiday villages of Reith, Jochberg, und Aurach are set in right in the middle of the beautiful Kitzbühel Alps in Tyrol. The town’s perfect location and the many easy ways of getting here make it a great destination.

It’s easy to get to Kitzbühel by train – with three train stations in Kitzbühel itself, the nearby Salzburg, Innsbruck and Munich airports are well connected. The good public transport network will make your trip to skiing paradise short and pleasant. 

The vignette: giving motorists the green light
If your route takes you on Austrian motorways, be sure to stick a vignette (Austrian road tax disk) on your front windscreen before embarking on this stage of your journey. Vignettes are available from motoring clubs, petrol stations and border crossing stations throughout the year. If you’re going on a short break, a 10-day vignette is the ideal option. If you’re staying in Tyrol for a longer period of time or are a frequent visitor, it is worth opting for the 2-month or even annual vignette. Once your vignette is displayed on your windscreen, you’ve got the green light to set off on your journey along the motorways of Austria. Information about the current prices can be found here.

Preparing your car for the Tyrolean weather
If you’re travelling to Tyrol in winter, you should expect to face snowy and icy conditions. Winter tyres and snow chains are therefore vital and compulsory when ensuring your car is well-equipped and best prepared for the winter weather in the Tyrolean mountains. You can find out more about the current status of the local roads from the Austrian Automobile Club (ÖAMTC).

When travelling by car, you will sooner or later have to ask yourself the following question: “Where shall we leave the car?” No matter whether you are running a quick errand or going for a long walk, Kitzbühel has suitable parking options for every situation and activity. Here you'll find all parking options in Kitzbühel. 

Wherever you want to go and no matter where you want to be picked up, the taxi companies in Kitzbühel are at your beck and call 24 hours a day. Do you need a ride to a restaurant, a cable car or the train station? The town’s fleet of taxis is ready and waiting to help! The local taxi services also offer transfers to and from the neighbouring airports in Innsbruck, Salzburg and Munich.

Insider tips: Before starting your journey, ask your driver for the price and be sure to request an invoice. You will have to pay extra for luggage and an additional late-night fee of 10 to 15 percent applies between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Although Kitzbühel boasts a central location at the heart of the Alps, reaching it may still involve a very long trip depending on where you are coming from. Thanks to the neighbouring airports in Munich, Innsbruck and Salzburg, however, the legendary town is still easy to get to. Once your flight has landed, you can use a transfer service, hire car or train connection to make your way to Kitzbühel and officially start your holiday in no time at all.

If you like to travel in comfort, go by train – your most sustainable travel choice. Whether coming from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy or Belgium: trains are often very reasonably priced and the relaxation can usually begin immediately after boarding.

Did you know that Kitzbühel has three train stations? The stations “Hauptbahnhof”, “Centre – Hahnenkamm” and “Schwarzsee” are ideally distributed throughout Kitzbühel. From there, you can reach your accommodation quickly and easily on foot, by taxi or by bus.
