What goes together

• Inn valley day: Hall in the morning (8 minutes), Schwaz in the afternoon (10 more). Both are on the same line.
• Kufstein and Rattenberg: Rattenberg in the morning, the organ in Kufstein at noon, the fortress after.
• Jenbach day: Zillertalbahn or Achensee railway, not both; both leave from Jenbach station.

By hire car

Achensee, Alpbach and the Stubai Glacier are much quicker by car than by train and bus, and the Zillertal can be driven to Hintertux in a day. Hire cars at the airport and the main station.
