LOCATION

Travel information



By Car
Dornbirn can be reached by car: coming from Switzerland on the A1/A13, coming from Germany on the A96/A7, and from within Austria on the A14/S16.

By Train
If you choose to come by train, the main station Dornbirn has a good connection to the Austrian (ÖBB), Swiss (SBB) and the German (DB) train system.

By Plane
Most of the coaches will probably come by plane. There are three major airports (Zurich ZRH, Munich MUC and Stuttgart STR) and two minor airports (Friedrichshafen FDH and Memmingen/Munich-West FMM) available. Zurich is the closest major airport (120km, 70min), but Munich offers the majority of the cheaper flights (230km, 130min). Memmingen might be quite interesting if you fly from London-Standsted or Barcelona-Girona. Please keep in mind that Oktoberfest in Munich is just about at this time of the year. The same is true for the Stuttgart Beer Festival (Cannstatter Volksfest), the second largest annual fest in the world.

If more than 40 people get together a bus shuttle from Munich and/or Zurich can be organized.

We are currently negotiating special rates with Sixt and Hertz car rental. By end of 2018 we will announce these rates. We hope to have these rates available regardless of the airport.

The table below lists some selected airports and the prices found (in Euro) with www.KAYAK.de for travel times October 1-8 (usually Tuesdays and Thursdays are the least expensive travel days) and should only be used as a guideline. The organizers are not responsible for higher air fares.
