Ski-WM 2025 in Saalbach: ÖBB enables stress-free arrival with special trains!

In the first two weeks of February, Saalbach Hinterglemm became the epicenter of winter sports, while the 2025 skiing championship revives the region. In order to cope with the expected rush of sports enthusiasts and to make the journey pleasantly and sustainably, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) are massively stalling. With a total of 8,400 additional seats and 24 special connections between Vienna and Maishofen-Saalbach, smooth travel is guaranteed. These measures were announced in a press report on Thursday in order to meet the requirements of this major event, the rapporteurs of Gailtal-journal.at.

special trains and extended bus connections

From 4th to February 16, special trains are to drive directly from Vienna Westbahnhof to Maishofen-Saalbach on every race day. This is a strategic step by the ÖBB to enable a comfortable arrival and departure for day guests. With the new timetable, which is available at www.oebb.at, travelers will enable the travelers to plan simply. In addition, the Postbus offer is significantly expanded: the buses from Maishofen-Saalbach to the racetrack will run in shortened intervals and bring passengers directly to the fan mile. According to the announcements of Schiene.de, ÖBB are expecting a particularly high travel volume on the weekends of 8. and 9 February, which collapse at the end of the Vienna semester break and therefore offer an additional direct connection on these days.

Each additional train brings about 350 additional places, which represents a significant increase in the transport system and enables fans to experience the competitions up close without having to worry about traffic jams. The ÖBB do everything possible to support this international sporting highlight as best as possible and to ensure stress -free arrival.
