Snow Space Salzburg Offers Train Tickets To Promote Sustainable Travel

Whether an adventure day on the mountain or a multi-day stay in Snow Space Salzburg. - The mountain railways are offering an attractive offer in summer from July 3rd to get to your destination without a car. The ÖBB Plus offer - gondola ride and entry to the mountain adventure world - can be expanded with the arrival by train and the transfer to the valley station.

The Geisterberg mountain and nature adventure world in the Snow Space Salzburg ski area is one of the most popular summer excursion destinations for families in Salzburg. At the mountain station of the Alpendorf gondola, visitors can expect a wide-ranging adventure area with forty different play stations as well as a dedicated via ferrata for young people.

"The expansion of climate-friendly travel to and from the holiday destination is part of the Snow Space Salzburg sustainability strategy, because, like in winter, over 70 percent of the environmental impact of a summer vacation results exclusively from travel to and from the vacation spot.", Explains Wolfgang Hettegger, CEO of Snow Space Salzburg Bergbahnen, the approach to long-term reduction of CO2 emissions. “We would like to show our guests ways in which they can get to us in a climate-neutral, yet comfortable way. The price reduction is intended to provide an additional incentive, ”continues Hettegger.

Eva Buzzi, managing director of ÖBB Rail Tours, can only confirm this: “With this new offer, we are offering an inexpensive, low-threshold alternative to traveling individually by car. The Geisterberg mountain and nature adventure world is the ideal partner for this innovative, future-oriented product. "

The Snow Space Salzburg holiday region benefits from being easily accessible by train. The long-distance train station St. Johann im Pongau can be easily reached both regionally from the Salzburg districts and by long-distance transport from many major Austrian and German cities. “Thanks to the good timing between train and regional bus at St. Johann station, the mountain railways in Alpendorf can be reached from Salzburg city center within an hour and ten minutes. On weekends with a lot of travel, it is not possible to take the car on the Tauern Autobahn, ”emphasizes Hettegger, who is therefore convinced that traveling by train is a real alternative to private transport, also in terms of time.

In order to make it as easy as possible for the guests, the search mask on OEBB.at was adapted so that the quickest connection to the mountain railways to Alpendorf is automatically displayed with the search term “Snow Space Salzburg”.

The ÖBB Plus offer costs 29.70 euros for adults including the regional bus from St. Johann im Pongau train station to St. Johann / Alpendorf and back, and 17.40 euros for children and can be booked in addition to the ticket at tickets.oebb.at or can be obtained at the ticket counter at the train station. So that the diverse range of offers in the holiday region is also attractive for multi-day guests, the adventure mountain ticket can also be redeemed on one of the two following days.

The Geisterberg, along with the Wagrainis Grafenberg and the hiking mountain Grießenkar with the Flori's adventure trail, is one of the family highlights in Snow Space Salzburg. All three adventure mountains can be easily reached with the summer cable cars from the local centers of Flachau, Wagrain and St. Johann / Alpendorf.
