New bicycle wagons to cross the Tauern tunnel

Thanks a lot to Ingmari and Hemann Schneeberger who sent us the pictures of the new carriages running the shuttle service between the stations of Böckstein (Salzburg) and Bad Gastein (Carinthia).

As certainly our most loyal readers already know, there is no other solution than to use the train to cross the Hohe Tauern mountain range. A short ride of about ten minutes that allows cyclists to reach the opposite side of the mountain thanks to the Tauern tunnel (Autoschleuse Tauernbahn).

The new “Regio Biking” carriages allow you to load a greater number of bicycles than the previous double-decker “City Shuttles”. I can't wait to go back to cycling in Austria ... and to test these new carriages dedicated to transporting bicycles!

Thanks again to the Schneeberger family for reporting. Ingmari and Hemann also work on our Alpe Adria Cycle Route organizing the logistics for the travel of cyclists thanks to their minibuses equipped with bike carriers. If you need a transfer from Grado to Salzburg (or vice versa) I leave you their contact details:
