Train fares and tariffs / fares for train travel in Austria
« on: May 11, 2012, 05:19:47 pm »
Hi
We will be travelling from Mittenwald in Germany to Switzerland. We will have a Swiss Rail Pass for the Swiss section of the rail journey. I am trying to find out whether it is cheaper to order the tickets 90 days in advance or just pay for them on the day.
When I go onto the OBB website, I am unable to bring up any fares from Mittenwald to Buchs (the border station).
However, as a rough guide to the cost of the tickets, I have entered Innsbruck to Buchs. If I enter the travel date, for instance, for tomorrow, the cost of the ticket comes up as the same price as when I enter a date for 90 days tiime. (28.90 euro, I think, in both cases) Would this be correct? If this is the case, I would be better off to purchase the tickets on the day of travel, rather than in advance, especially if the cost is the same. There will be 4 adults travelling, & I understand from the website that the cost decreases for 4 tickets. Is this correct?
Could you also please confirm, if I am able to purchase these tickets in Mittenwald for the journey to Buchs, or do I purchase Mittenwald to Innsbruck & then purchase Innsbruck to Buchs. I think the cost from Mittenwald to Innsbruck is about 10 euro.
Any advice on theis would be very much appreciated.
