air travel to scheffau
The journey to Scheffau is roughly the same either from Salburg Airport or Innsbruck Airport. Munich Airport is a little further away but also simply accessed.
Salzburg
Airport
Salzburg Airport is marginally the closest airport to Scheffau, for those arriving on the mixture of charter flights, low-cost carriers and scheduled flights which land there. The most direct route through to Scheffau uses the route through the "German corner" near the airport and then via Lofer and St Johann. This can be a trickier journey in bad weather and there is an alternate route via the German motorway to the junction with the Munich-Inn valley motorway north of Rosenheim.
Innsbruck
Airport
Innsbruck Airport is probably the easiest of the airports to access Scheffau as most of the journey is on the Inn valley motorway through to the transport hub of Wörgl.
Innsbruck has a great weekend selection of charter and scheduled flights and midweek flights from the lower-cost carriers are also becoming extremely popular.
Munich
Airport
Munich Airport is located to the north of the city itself, but the new and developing airport has a good transport infrastructure and a motorway network which bypasses Munich to the east and then heads down to Rosenheim, where it joins up with the motorway from Salzburg, and the border at Kufstein.
The easiest route from here is through to Wörgl on the motorway and then via Söll to Scheffau. The more adventurous or those with plenty of time on their hands may also like to try the country road from Kufstein through the hills to meet up with the road between Söll and Scheffau.
The German motorways can get extremely busy on popular weekends.
