Getting Your Alpine Adventure On: Munich Mountain Bus Kicks Off 2022 Season with a Bang!
Munich's Mountain Bus to Introduce New Features from Pentecost Onward. - Mountain bus services in Munich inaugurate with innovations from Pentecost onward
We've got some fantastic news for all the thrill-seekers and nature lovers around Munich! The long-awaited Mountain Bus season has finally arrived! Now, you won't have to miss out on weekdays, as hikers can hop aboard and head to popular destinations on public holidays, too.
According to the Munich Transport and Tariff Association (MVV), tour enthusiasts from Munich can effortlessly traverse the Alps by bus, at no cost with the Germany ticket in hand. Without the Germany ticket, the standard MVV ticket rates apply.
This year, the Mountain Bus lines are set to hit the road with an elevated schedule, kicking off at the Pentecost holidays and running through the All Saints' weekend in early November. The MVV has also upgraded passenger information systems to make your experience smoother.
Some of the most sought-after destinations include Pfronten in Ostallgau, Bayrischzell and Thiersee in Tyrol. Each line offers a pair of round trips daily. If you want to grab your favorite seat, simply book ahead via the MVV app at no extra charge.
Since last year, these Mountain Bus lines have formed part of the MVV. This pilot project was initially launched by the German Alpine Association in 2021. Funding now comes from the city of Munich, the districts of Miesbach and Ostallgau, and the Free State, covering any operating costs unaccounted for by ticket sales.
Over 7,000 day-trippers experienced the Mountain Bus lines last season, with the Tegelberg cable car near Neuschwanstein Castle and the Gasthof Bäckeralm in Bayrischzell, on the Austria border, being among the top favorites.
For those intrigued by the idea of mountainous adventures but looking for alternative activities, companies like ALPS Biketours offer transalpine bike tours. If Pentecost holidays are on your mind, interesting cultural events and family outings are common across Germany[5]. Compare travel options with the extensive ticketing options available from MVV[2]. If exploring southern Germany's mountains and lakes appeals to you, get more details on Ostallgau[3].
So what are you waiting for? Buckle up, friends, and prepare for an action-packed adventure with the revamped Mountain Bus season!
- To complement your alpine adventure, consider adopting an 'outdoor-living' lifestyle, even extending it to your home-and-garden, as you traverse the Alps with Munich's Mountain Bus.
- After enjoying the thrilling rides on the Mountain Bus, take a moment to unwind and savor the feels of your adventure by integrating 'lifestyle' practices that harmonize with the tranquil community policy of the alpine destinations.
