Day Trip to Salzburg?

24 Jul 2008 Dancer asked

Has anyone done a day trip from the Austrian Tyrol (Hopfgarten) to Salzburg instead of the optional extras? Our tour (European Adventurer) doesn't go through Salzburg, but I notice they are not far from each other, and assume there will be a train nearby we can catch?

Any advice would be geatly appreciated

  Depending on where you stay in Hopfgarten you may not be anywhere near a train. When i was there we sayed in the mountains near hopfgarten in a town called Itter, your best would have been riding a cow to the train station. Beautiful spot in the mountains.

  I’m doing a timeout tour so should be staying at the pension Lukas KG which is close to Hopfgarten Berglift. So hopefully should be fine. I can purchase the return ticket from aus but have to buy the ongoing train locally..fingers crossed! Looking at purchasing our Sound of Music tour soon :)

  I went on a day trip to Salzburg from Tyrol region (Kirchdorf) (I wasn’t on Contiki I was with Topdeck).
  We had to get 2 buses to get to Salzburg and each way was a couple of hours. Would have loved to have done the Sound of Music tour but I think it only runs twice a day and we had to be back for dinner. Instead we jumped on the Hop on Hop off bus which was worth it. We managed to see a few locations where it was filmed. Overall a nice day.
