Travel | |||
We recommend to fly to Innsbruck on Thursday, September 21, and fly back on the 26th. You probably cannot fly direct, but there are good connections to Frankfurt and Vienna. You could also fly to Munich, which has a train connection to Innsbruck (and onwards to Obergurgl) directly from the airport. Fastest travel from Innsbruck Airport to Obergurgl (1.5 hours) is via an airport shuttle. It costs about EUR 200 and makes sense if you share. We are happy to help coordinating shuttles. Cheapest travel to Obergurgl from Innsbruck is to take a train to ``Ötztal Bahnhof'' and a bus to Obergurgl (in total 2.5h). The cost is approx. EUR 17. The latest connection from Innsbruck departs at 21:29 at Innsbruck airport (21:48 from Innsbruck main station) and arrives 23:40. The first connection to Innsbruck airport on Tuesday morning arrives approx 10:15 a.m. You can take bus F or a cab for the 5km distance airport—train station.
