Cycle transport with public transport in Tyrol

With ÖBB express trains

Bicycles can be taken on the long-distance trains of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), depending on the space available. These include the ÖBB Railjet, Eurocity and Intercity trains. However, a parking space must be reserved before travelling for bicycles to be taken on express trains. Reservations can be made up to 6 months in advance at the ticket counters of major railway stations, by telephone at the ÖBB customer service or online.

Note: If you cannot find your bike ticket on the ÖBB ticket machine screen straight away, you can ask the ticket counter staff for help.

Regional train connections

ÖBB's local train services are particularly bike-friendly. On regional trains, regional express trains and S-Bahn trains, there are a number of spaces for bicycles. These are transported without any problems as long as you don't want to start your tour at rush hour and there is therefore no space on the train. A reservation is not necessary here, otherwise the same fare regulations apply as on long-distance trains. There are discounted offers for small groups, such as the "Einfach-Raus-Radticket".
