Mobility in the Salzkammergut

Getting around by public transport – and saving money

 

Salzkammergut Tourism and the State of Upper Austria support guests who wish to use public transport during their stay. 

Overnight guests receive a voucher worth €11.50 per stay, which can be redeemed for a public transport ticket in the wegfinder app. The voucher can be used, for example, for the Upper Austria Leisure Ticket (Freizeit-Ticket OÖ)

 

Freizeit-Ticket OÖ (Upper Austria Leisure Ticket)

The Freizeit-Ticket OÖ is a day pass valid across the entire regional public transport network in Upper Austria and the Salzkammergut region (Upper Austria + Salzburg). 

It allows you to travel flexibly by train, bus, and tram, making it easy to explore the region. Price: €26.50 

The ticket is valid for up to two adults and up to four children under 15 years of age. It allows unlimited travel within the period of validity. Note: Even though one ticket is already valid for two adults, each person (e.g. a couple) is entitled to their own voucher. This means that two Leisure Tickets can be redeemed per stay. 

Validity period: 

  • Monday – Friday: from 9:00 a.m. 
  • Saturday, Sunday & public holidays: all day until 3:00 a.m. the following day
