    MOBILITY IN STYRIA

    When on holiday in Styria, the engine of your own car remains cold. The public transport network leaves nothing to be desired in terms of mobility.

     

    And in places where buses and trains do not run, innovative solutions are used. The WEINmobil is the safe solution for wine lovers along the South Styrian Wine Route. And with the ski and hiking buses in the Schladming-Dachstein region, you can travel in comfort from your accommodation to the ski area or to the starting point of your hike.

    The Graz lines as well as the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), the Steiermärkische Landesbahnen (STLB) and the Graz-Köflacher Bahn (GKB) ensure mobility in Graz and the holiday regions of Styria.

    Good to know: With Rail&Drive, ÖBB offers a flexible combination of travelling by train and car.
