Many northbound Railjets start in Italy, Bologna for example, and pick up at Innsbruck Hbf before calling at Jenbach, Wörgl, Kufstein, Rosenheim and München Ost on the way to München Hbf. They leave [Innsbruck]() roughly every two hours from early morning into the evening. On most days a direct ICE adds a morning departure. The Railjets call at München Ost before the terminus. Get off there if you are staying in the east of [Munich](); for the centre, ride on to München Hbf. ## Journey times before and after 13 December 2026 Until 12 December 2026, the direct trains take about 1 hour 55 minutes. From the timetable change on 13 December 2026 they speed up to about 1 hour 45 minutes, keeping the two-hourly pattern. In the gaps, take an Austrian train to Kufstein and change there to a Bavarian regional train for Munich. That takes about 2 hours 25 minutes until 12 December, and some connections are close to 2 hours afterwards. A Bayern-Ticket is valid from Kufstein, so you need a separate Austrian ticket from Innsbruck to Kufstein. ## The slower line via Mittenwald A few regional trains a day run through from Innsbruck Hbf to München Hbf over the Karwendel line, via Seefeld in Tirol, Mittenwald and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The trip takes about 2 hours 50 minutes, and other departures need a change. In Munich these trains arrive at platforms 27 to 36, away from the Railjet platforms. From 11 to 18 January 2027 no through trains are scheduled on this line: the Austrian trains run only between Innsbruck Hbf and Scharnitz, so take the Railjet via Kufstein on those dates. The Regio-Ticket Werdenfels + Innsbruck is valid in this direction too. It costs €38 for the first person and €17 for each of up to four companions, and it covers DB and ÖBB regional trains via Mittenwald from midnight until 03:00 the next morning. It does not cover the Railjet via Kufstein. ## Tickets, passes and reservations ÖBB and DB both sell tickets for the direct trains. Saver fares such as ÖBB's Sparschiene are limited on each train and tied to that departure, and ÖBB releases them up to six months ahead. An Interrail pass covers the Railjet and the ICE. Seat reservations on these trains are optional with an Interrail pass, though worth having on busy days. A summer reservation requirement may apply on trains to and from Germany, so check before travelling between June and early September. Boarding at Innsbruck means you need no Italian supplement, even though the train has come from Italy. Bikes go on the Railjets only with a reservation, and spaces are limited. ## Where to book ![]() ### Book with Omio Find times and prices for Innsbruck → Munich.
