HOW DO I GET TO HOPFGARTEN?
HOW DO I GET TO HOPFGARTEN?
You have a few different options when it comes to getting to Hopfgarten. If you book one of our Ski Plus trips, this will see you catching the Contiki coach from London, travelling overnight to get to the Gasthof (this journey takes on average 24 hours, and includes rest breaks and stops to stretch your legs and get food). The coach will depart at around 7pm from the Contiki Basement, located at the Royal National Hotel in London, and whilst the journey is long, our coaches ensure you’re comfortable and catered for with heating/air conditioning, power sockets and USB ports, reclining seats, a DVD player and speaker system, and bathroom facilities.
If you book a Meet Us There trip, you’ll need to book flights that get you into either Munich, Innsbruck or Salzburg - each are fairly equidistant from Hopfgarten. Details on how to get to the Gasthof from each of the above are as follows:
Munich Airport (Flughafen München) to Wörgl & Hopfgarten (im Brixental) Berglift
When you arrive at Munich Airport, follow signs for "Zentrum Bereich" (Central Area) where you can purchase a ticket at the train counter for Wörgl, or Hopfgarten Berglift if you don't want to take advantage of the free transfer from Wörgl station. Take S-Bahn line S8 to München Ost - approximately 15 minutes journey time.
At München Ost, change platforms & take the fast train direct to Wörgl (one train every 2 hours, journey time approximately 1 hour) where a Contiki coach will collect you at the specified pick up times. Alternatively if you want to make your own way there, when you reach Wörgl by train change platforms & take a train to Hopfgarten Berglift (one train per hour, journey time approximately 10 minutes).
