At the airport
The S-Bahn station is between the terminals. Allow time for the airport-to-city leg before a fixed Alpine train or transfer, and check whether your destination crosses into Austria.
Flying into Munich Airport for a ski holiday
Munich Airport (MUC) is a large international gateway for the Bavarian and Austrian Alps. The airport railway station connects to Munich Hauptbahnhof by S-Bahn, where onward trains continue toward Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Wörgl and the Tyrolean valleys. When choosing an arrival time, you can compare flights to Munich Airport and check whether it leaves enough time for the last coach or train into the mountains.
Winter travel
Winter traffic and cross-border rail connections can make the journey longer than the direct road distance. Confirm the final village and local shuttle before booking.
