How easy is it to travel from Munich to Kitzbuhel by train? Where can I find a timetable, and how can I book tickets from england?

Hi darren

Go to www.bahn.de

The following will take you directly to the English captions on this very good website.

You may need to enter Kitzbühel Bahnhof, Österreich as the destination.

Most of the connections go through Wörgel in Austria. You leave Munich on the train for Innsbruck and change in Wörgel. The total trip, at best, is 2:05.

You may leave at 7:30 or 9:33 or 11:30 for the one change connection. Most of the others require 2 changes - one at
Rosenheim, the other at Wörgel.

You make the ü with alt+129. The ö with alt+148. Be sure to type the numbers on the numeric key pad.

I don't really think you need buy tickets before you get to Munich. The trains are frequent, and unless I want to guarantee a seat in a non smoking car, I don't have a seat reservation.

There are exceptions - the Cisalpino trains to and from Italy and the TGV trains in France and the Thalys trains in Germany, France and the Netherlands normally require a seat reservation.
Some trains in Britain do, too.

In ski season, a Saturday morning trip might be a little crowded.

PS the big Ö is alt+153.
You might be able to type in Austria and get away with it. I haven't tried that.
Please note that O and Ö are not the same letter. You probably can substitute an Oe for the umlaut and have it accepted.
Like Muenchen should equal München with no difficulty.

English is not uncommon around rail stations, and on the scheduler, so try English first and see if it works. If not, use the German names for these places.

the "ue" will generally work on that Bahn site
