Driving to Kuhtai
Innsbruck Airport
Innsbruck is by far the most convenient of all of the airports (in fact, its proximity is one of the main attractions of the resort. The route from the airport heads out onto the Inn valley motorway for a short distance before the Kematen exit. From there the route heads up on a mountain road which winds up to the saddle through the villages of the Sellrain valley.
Salzburg Airport
Salzburg airport is the next closest option, although it is pretty much a toss-up between here and Munich. The most straightforward route is via the motorway into Germany and then turning south at Rosenheim for the journey back into Austria and to Innsbruck.
Munich Airport
Drivers coming from Munich Airport have two options.
The first follows the motorway towards Rosenheim and then south in the direction of Kufstein – this is probably more suitable for those who are new to the area as it is on motorway most of the way.
The second is to head through Munich and then onto the motorway south to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. From there a fairly good main road heads through Mittenwald and across the Seefeld plateau before dropping down to the Inn valley in the vicinity of Kematen and the entrance to the Sellrain valley.
