Opening times, information & how to get to SkiWelt Brixen

Directions & Parking
You can reach Scheffau by car via the Inntal motorway (A12). To do so, take the Kufstein-Süd (toll-free) or Wörgl-Ost exit. If you’re travelling by train, the nearest stations are Kufstein, Wörgl, Hopfgarten or St. Johann. From there, buses or taxis will take you directly to Scheffau. The nearest airport is Salzburg; alternatively, Innsbruck or Munich are also suitable. If you are travelling by car, we recommend that you leave your car parked at your accommodation if possible and use the buses to the cable car. If you prefer to drive directly to the valley station in Brixen/Bressanone, there are plenty of free parking spaces available there. Charging stations for electric cars are also available at the valley station at the gravel car park (subject to a charge).
