Travel Information
Daily between 08:00 and 21:00 the timetable is typically arranged so that the EC trains to Munchen have easy connections at Worgl into S-Bahn trains heading from Worgl to St Johann.
The EC trains to Munchen depart from Innsbruck in even hours.
Also during the day on Mon-Fri, most of the Railjets heading to Wien, also have typically good connections at Worgl into REX trains on to St Johann.
But at weekends the number of REX trains heading to St Johann from Worgl is reduced, so on Sat/Sunday the best option is usually to depart from Innsbruck on the EC trains to Munchen.
The connections at Worgl cannot be absolutely guaranteed but the EC, and particularly the Railjet trains, from Innsbruck tend to be reliable time-keepers.
**Mon - Friday = 15 x connections per day
Saturdays = 10 x connections
Sundays = 8 x connections
