The Region Seefeld on Tirol’s high plateau is located 27 km from Innsbruck, 126 km from Munich and 275 km from Zurich.

Question 2

Do I need a vignette for travelling to Seefeld?

Accepted Answer

This depends entirely on the route you choose. If you are travelling from the north via Munich, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Mittenwald, the route is completely toll-free and vignette-free. If you are travelling from the east via Salzburg and Innsbruck, from the south via the Brenner Pass or from the west via the Arlberg, a vignette is required on the Austrian motorway sections. After the Fern Pass route, the motorway in the Inn Valley also requires a vignette.

Question 3

Is there an additional toll when travelling via the Brenner or the Arlberg Tunnel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On the Brenner motorway from the south and in the Arlberg Tunnel on the route from Switzerland, an additional route toll applies on top of the vignette. This toll is charged independently of the vignette.

In Tirol, an exit ban applies on certain days for pure through traffic: from 1 May to 1 November 2026, as well as on 29 May and 2 October 2026, from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Guests of the Region Seefeld are not affected by this.

Question 6

Do I need winter tyres when travelling by car in winter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this also applies to guests with foreign licence plates.

Alternatively, snow chains may be used on the drive wheels. Checks are not uncommon.
