The Munich Mountain Bus Returns This Pentecost with a Twist! Here's What's New for 2022
Mountain Bus Service in Munich Initiates Renovations Starting from Pentecost - Mountain bus services in Munich commence their operations on Pentecost with new innovations introduced.
Gear up, hikers! The trusty Munich Mountain Bus is firing up its engines once again, just in time for Pentecost! This year's edition promises a host of new changes, making your mountain escapade more convenient and enjoyable.
First things first, the Mountain Bus will now be operational beyond weekends and onto public holidays! So, grab your gear and hit the trails on those well-deserved days off. The Munich Transport Association (MVV) has confirmed that day-trippers from the city can travel to the Alps for free using the Germany ticket. If you don't have a Germany ticket, fear not! Regular MVV ticket prices apply instead.
To make your journey smoother, the Mountain Bus lines will kick off with an improved schedule, running from Pentecost to All Saints' weekend in November. Moreover, the passenger information has undergone a facelift to ensure you have all the necessary details at your fingertips.
Popular destinations include the picturesque towns of Pfronten in Ostallgäu, Bayrischzell, and Thiersee in Tyrol. Each line offers two round trips daily, enabling you to pull over and soak up the breathtaking views as often as you'd like. To reserve your preferred seat, simply utilize the free booking tool within the MVV app.
If you're intrigued and want to explore more about the revamped Munich Mountain Bus, stay tuned for updates! The service was adopted by the MVV last year, following a pilot project initiated by the German Alpine Association. The initiative has garnered significant support from the city of Munich, the districts of Miesbach and Ostallgäu, and the Free State, all of whom contribute towards covering the operating costs that aren't recouped through ticket sales.
In the 2021 season, over 7,000 travelers took the Mountain Bus to venture into the Alps. Top spots included the Tegelberg cable car near Neuschwanstein Castle and the Gasthof Bäckeralm in Bayrischzell, nestled along the Austrian border.
