Getting there & around

Austrian Airlines fly to Altenrhein in Switzerland, the nearest airport. Friedrich­s­hafen, in Germany, is the closest major airport served by a couple of no-frill airlines including Ryanair.

Four direct trains daily head for Munich (€39, 3½ hours) via Lindau, while trains for Konstanz (€45, 1½ to two hours) go via the Swiss shore of the lake and may be frequent, but require between one and four changes. There are four daily departures for Zürich (€30, 1¾ hours), all of which call in at St Gallen (€15, 45 minutes).

Nine trains daily depart for Innsbruck (€28, 2¾ hours), calling en route at Dornbirn (€2.30, 15 minutes), Feldkirch (€5.10, 30 minutes) and Bludenz (€10.90, one hour).

A daily bus service runs to Dornbirn (€2.30, 30 minutes) at least four times an hour; buses to Feldkirch (€5.10, two hours) depart twice hourly from Monday to Friday and hourly at weekends.
