The digital South Tyrol Guest Pass includes free use of all public transport in South Tyrol on arrival: public buses, ski buses and regional trains. Please contact us if you are interested.
If you wish to come by rail, your destination is the Bruneck / Brunico train station. The north/south route continues via Innsbruck, Brenner, Bozen / Bolzano. Usually, you’ll have to take a connecting train in Franzensfeste / Fortezza. The east/west route will take you via Lienz, Innichen, Franzensfeste / Fortezza. Once you’ve reached Bruneck / Brunico, you can continue your journey by bus (Line 450 every quarter of an hour) or taxi.
From 15 December 2024 to 13 December 2025, the railway line between Franzensfeste and Bruneck will be suspended for major modernisation work. During this period, a replacement bus service will operate, with connections between Brixen/Bressanone and Bruneck.
Last mile distance
Brixen railway station to Bruneck: Rail replacement service takes approx. 50 minutes (every 30 minutes)
Bruneck to St. Jakob im Ahrntal (Wollbachgisse): Bus route 450 Duration approx. 50 minutes (every 15 minutes)
The hotel is situated on a hill, so you will have to walk about 10 minutes from the bus stop to the hotel.
When you arrive, you can call us and we will pick you up with your luggage from the bus stop (Wollbachgisse at San Giacomo).
The bus route for the Ahrntal is line 450 (Bruneck - Sand in Taufers - Ahrntal) and runs every 15 minutes from Monday to Friday and every half hour at weekends.
As a special thank you for your environmentally friendly journey by public transport, we will provide you with one e-bike per person for a whole day free of charge.
