Lienz Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Regional transport in Tyrol comes under the wing of the Verkehrsverbund Tirol (VVT; www.vvt.at).

Land

Bus

Buses pull up in front of the train station, where the Postbus information office (8am-noon & 2-4pm Mon-Fri) is located. There are bus connections to the East Tyrol ski resorts of St Jakob, Sillian and Obertilliach, as well as northwards to the Hohe Tauern National Park. Buses to Kitzbühel (€13.20, 1½ hours) are quicker and more direct than the train, but they only go one to three times a day.

Train

Most trains to the rest of Austria, including Salzburg (€30.20, 3½ hours), go east via Spittal-Millstättersee, where you usually have to change. The quickest and easiest route to Innsbruck (€20, 3¼ hours) is to go west via Sillian and Italy.

Car & motorcycle

To head south, you must first divert west or east along Hwy 100, as the Dolomites are an impregnable barrier.
