Unfortunately the connection with public transport is not the best and probably it is necessary to change trains. If you take a plane to Austria we recommend to go to Vienna Airport as the flights to Vienna are the cheapest normally. You can check out https://www.oebb.at/en/ in order to see the train schedules, the train station at Stolzalpe is called “Murau“. We will then pick you up from the station. Parking facilities are provided for free and we generally recommend to go by car.
