Doug's Mountain Getaway

From directly in front of Innsbruck train station, either get the bus (ST) which goes every half hour, or the scenic tram (STB : Fulpmes) direct to Fulpmes. The tram goes just once an hour (13 minutes to the hour) & takes longer but is a beautiful ride; both cost 5 Euro. Bus: Very easy! Get off @ Bruecke (bridge) stop immediately after turning to enter Fulpmes. Go down Muhlwiese St (it's right there by the Shell petrol station) walk 100m & boom, you're there! (3rd house on the right after M-Preis supermarket (No. 12)). Or by tram: Go down Riehlstrasse 150m, turn left past Bel Ami (Dr Kofler St) 80m, right onto Brunnachstrasse 80m, sharp left down Schmelzhuttengasse 80m, then right down Muhlwiese (we're the 1st house on the left) If you ever get lost, just ask for Shell Tankstelle (Shell garage) or M-Preis (pronounced M-Price)! FLIGHTS: You'll often get £50 return flights from London Stansted to (Munich) Memmingen or Salzburg (both 1hr 45 mins away, Ryanair), and easyjet do great £23.99 singles in the winter if you're lucky (Innsbruck - 15 mins). TRAIN: Innsbruck has great direct connections with its 8 neighbouring countries. Try db.de or oebb.at for international train connections, times and prices. They do good deals too with long trains - overnighters to Berlin for example for £40...
