If you can’t fly into Innsbruck, then Zurich is the next best thing. It’s a huge airport flying to 137 destinations, including the Americas, Australia, Asia and beyond. Therefore if you are travelling from outside of Europe, we recommend this airport as your first port of call.

The whole journey costs only €54.70, making it a far more affordable mode of transport for small groups.
