Getting there

The town's relatively low altitude make getting there an absolute breeze; not every ski resort has its own train station.

Planes

Salzburg airport is 90 minutes away | although allow extra time if there is heavy snow (www.salzburg-airport.com). It’s possible to get a taxi transfer with Holiday Shuttle. If you’re feeling flash they can also arrange a helicopter transfer (www.holiday-shuttle.at).

Trains

Trains to Zell Am See run regularly from Salzburg; check timetables at www.oebb.at.

Automobiles

A car isn’t essential as the train | taxi and bus connections to Zell Am See are perfectly adequate. In fine weather | this is great touring terrain; in winter | roads are cleared and gritted quickly after snowfalls but be aware of dangerous driving conditions. Traffic from the city of Salzburg can be heavy in ski season.
