Travel Information
Final Destination:
Worgl (REX trains)
Saalfelden (S-Bahn trains)
Monday - Friday
The train service between Salzburg and Zell am See is split between REX (regional trains) and S-Bahn (commuter trains); the S-Bahn trains are the slower of the two services.
However, until 16:00 the timetable is arranged so that in one hour (the even hours) there are no direct trains, but in the odd hours the faster REX trains depart around 20 mins before the S-Bahn train.
Hence the REX trains depart in every other hour (the odd hours) until around 19:15 and then there is a gap of more than three hours in the service of direct trains, until the final S-Bahn of the train departs after 22:00.
Saturday - Sunday
At weekends before 19:00 there are no REX trains, but the service of S-Bahn trains is supplemented by an IC train and a Railjet train.
If you want/need to depart Salzburg in the hours when there are no direct trains, you can take trains from Salzburg to Schwarzach-St Veit and make a simple connection there for Zell am See.
Mon - Fri = 16 x trains per day
Sat/Sun = 9 x trains per day
On Saturdays the regular train service is supplemented by a Railjet train which departs Salzburg at 14:15.
