Munich to Seefeld by Train

Looking for some info on rail travel to Seefeld, we are arriving at Munich airport 13:05 on 23 Dec. and just wondering if it would be better to pre book rail travel online in UK or wait until we arrive at Munich airport - which would be cheaper? Has anyone stayed at Hotel Haymon, gonna be staying there for 10 nights.

No need to pre-book any rail travel. For train schedules use the DB website at:

From: München Flughafen Terminal To: Seefeld in Tirol



The cheapest way to travel from the airport to Seefeld would be using the Bayern-Ticket (Bavaria-Ticket) and going via Mittenwald. This ticket is only valid for travel on S-Bahn, IRE, RE and RB “commuter” trains.

The normal full fare via Mittenwald is 28.30 each but with the Bayern-Ticket, for 26 €, up to 5 people could travel from the airport to as far as Mittenwald and from there the additional fare to Seefeld in Tirol would be 5.90 € each. The 2nd class fare to go on EC or IC trains via Rosenheim and Innsbruck would be 39.80 each.



You will probably not be able to make the 13:42 S-8 departure from the airport to Münich-Pasing, so after buying your tickets, take the next S-1 or S-8 to the Münich Hauptbahnhof [main train station]. At the station you could relax, have a meal and/or buy snacks/soda/beer to take on train RB 5429 which departs at 16:32 and arrives in Seefeld in Tirol at 18:45.



At that time of day on the Friday before Christmas, expect any train to be crowded so be ready to board promptly, store your luggage and get a seat. If you decide to take EC or IC trains via Innsbruck consider getting reservations. [3 € each]

You don%26#39;t need a reservation for EC-trains (there%26#39;s also one ICE) Munich-Innsbruck... I have never seen any of these trains with more than 50 % utilization (especially if you don%26#39;t board coaches in the middle of the train).
