Public transportation plays an important role throughout the State of Vorarlberg – from the cities in the Rheintal valley to the valleys and holiday regions: Buses and trains are modern and comfortable, and the services are frequent. In addition to the railway in the Rhine Valley and Walgau, there are around 160 bus routes. Visitors to Vorarlberg are always surprised how comprehensive the train and bus routes are even in the holiday regions. By the way, public transportation in the relevant holiday region is included in the regional inclusive cards for holiday-makers in summer. In winter, ski-pass holders can use ski buses free of charge. That means you can leave your car at home while on vacation.
