How to get from Innsbruck Airport to Seefeld
Seefeld is one of the shortest Alpine drives from Innsbruck Airport, yet a rail journey still uses the airport-to-Innsbruck Hbf bus and a separate train onto the high plateau. The village station, Rosshütte valley station and Gschwandtkopf lifts are distinct points; check where your hotel is before deciding whether a short taxi is useful.
