How to get from Salzburg to Hinterglemm
By transfer
A pre-booked transfer is the most direct way to get from Salzburg to Hinterglemm. Your driver meets you at Salzburg Airport and takes you straight to your accommodation in around 1 hour 30 minutes, with ski bags included.
By train and bus
There’s no railway to Hinterglemm. Take a trolleybus from Salzburg Airport to Salzburg Hauptbahnhof, a train to Zell am See, then the Postbus up the Glemm valley to Hinterglemm. With connections, allow around 3 – 4 hours or more from the airport.
By car
The drive from Salzburg Airport to Hinterglemm takes about 1 hour 30 minutes via Lofer and Saalfelden. Winter tyres are required in wintry conditions, and you’ll need a motorway vignette if your route uses the motorway.
By taxi
A taxi from the rank at Salzburg Airport is possible but metered, so it usually costs more than a pre-booked private transfer and isn’t guaranteed to have room for ski bags.
