Route advise: Salzburg Airport to Zell am See
Hi all,
You may have seen my previous postings about 'Bloody cheap transfers to Zell...' and 'How many skiers can you fit in a mini'. Anyway, the now 7 of us have booked 2 hirecars from Salzburg airport and will be attempting to a) fit in them with luggage + ski gear. b) Navigate to Zell from the airport at around 9pm at night. If anyone's got experience with this route and any advise (avoiding tolls a possibility?) that'd be great. Perhaps more importantly, if anyone knows how likely we are to need snow chains on this route that would be much appreciated! Jack |

Route advise: Salzburg Airport to Zell am See
Id catch the train, its about 11 euros each way and about an hour and a half
from salzburg. You can catch the nu,mber 2 bus from outside the airport for a couple of euros and it takes 15 mins. The train is very clean and punctual and you can get the timetable at www.oebb.com . Zell station is about 500 metres from the city express gondola and right in the town center. I found this route so easy that i dont think i'll rent a car again as i use to always do that. As for the drive the road seems to follow the train track along its course through mainly valleys so i dont think there will be much hill climbing as zell is at the bottom of the valley too. i done this route 3 weeks ago and again in 3 weeks from now . Great resort that you will love Jack Guest` wrote in message om...

Route advise: Salzburg Airport to Zell am See
Turn left out of the airport and carry on into Germany past Bad Reichenhall.
Once you get back into Austria at Unken start looking for signs for Lofer and Zell am See (Lofer is on the road you are on but there is now a bypass through a tunnel). Turn left at Lofer and then follow the road down to Zell. These are main transit routes so should be kept fairly clear. No tolls. IMO, the hardest part is going to be finding your accommodation in Zell on a Saturday, if you don't already know the accommodation and town. There is a tunnel, one-way system and pedestrian zone to contend with! If you are travelling this Saturday be aware that there is heavy snowfall forecast before, during and after the weekend and that snow-clearing performance tends to get understandably worse at the time you will be driving. If there is heavy snow, I would personally still take this route as the motorway can be a nightmare but it depends on your confidence and experience in winter driving. Good luck -- Steve Rout http://www.skiseefeld.com/ |
