Getting there

Without a car

Reach Innsbruck by the main available train or bus connection, then continue to the start of “Via Alpina Red R42” by local bus, shuttle, taxi or on foot as appropriate. Check seasonal timetables before travelling. This is a point-to-point route, so arrange the return from the finish in advance.

By car

Drive via the A12 or A13 and local Tyrol valley roads toward the start of “Via Alpina Red R42”. Continue only on roads open to private vehicles and complete restricted or rough sections on foot or by an authorised transfer. Leaving a car at the start does not solve the return journey.

Parking

Use an official car park at a railway station, cable-car station or signed Wanderparkplatz. Keep access roads, barriers and emergency routes clear.

The distance should be split into stages, with overnight options, water sources and exit points checked in advance. Climbs and descents can slow the pace considerably, especially on wet or rocky ground. The finish is separate from the start, so return logistics should be arranged before setting out.
