Tunnel renewal A10 Tauernautobahn
ASFINAG is renewing five tunnels on the A10 Tauernautobahn between Golling and Werfen and upgrading the safety equipment to the latest state of the art.
This leads to increased delays in traffic.
Even if it seems more convenient to leave the A10 highway to avoid the delays, we strongly advise you not to do so. Locals suffer greatly from the congested roads and are sometimes dangerous. This is because vital organizations such as the fire department, ambulance service and police are sometimes unable to reach their destinations on time.
Ideally, you should switch to trains and buses, which are highly recommended for connections to our region, including direct connections from Hamburg.
The airport in Salzburg is the second largest in Austria and has a very good non-stop schedule from many European cities.

With the airport transfer you can get to the Salzburg Sportwelt and further to Wagrain-Kleinarl in a climate-friendly and still very comfortable way. Neutouristik offers this service.
