It runs via Rosenheim and Kufstein, with stops at München Ost, Rosenheim, Kufstein, Wörgl and Jenbach, and leaves München Hbf roughly every two hours from early morning into the evening. On most days a direct ICE adds an evening departure on the same line. Many of these Railjets carry on over the Brenner Pass into Italy, some as far as Venice or Bologna. ## 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 get quicker, at about 1 hour 45 minutes, and the two-hourly pattern stays. Between the direct trains, a Bavarian regional train runs to Kufstein, where you change to an Austrian train for [Innsbruck](). That takes about 2 hours 25 minutes until 12 December, and some connections drop to around 2 hours after the change. This is the route for a Bayern-Ticket, but that ticket stops at Kufstein. Buy a separate ticket from Kufstein to Innsbruck. ## The slower line via Mittenwald A few regional trains a day run through from München Hbf to Innsbruck Hbf over the Karwendel line, via Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mittenwald and Seefeld in Tirol. Expect about 2 hours 50 minutes. Other departures on this line need a change. These trains leave from platforms 27 to 36, a different part of München Hbf from the Railjets. From 11 to 18 January 2027 no through trains are scheduled on this line: the Austrian trains run only between Scharnitz and Innsbruck Hbf, so take the Railjet via Kufstein on those dates. The Regio-Ticket Werdenfels + Innsbruck makes this line good value for a group. It costs €38 for the first person and €17 for each of up to four companions, and it is valid from midnight until 03:00 the next morning on DB and ÖBB regional trains via Mittenwald. It does not cover the Railjet via Kufstein. ## Tickets, passes and reservations DB and ÖBB both sell tickets for the direct trains. Saver fares such as ÖBB's Sparschiene are limited on each train and tied to that departure, so the cheapest seats go first. ÖBB sells 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. The Italian supplement applies only if you ride on into Italy, not if you get off at Innsbruck. Bikes go on the Railjets only with a reservation, and spaces are limited. ## Where to book ![]() ### Book with Omio Find times and prices for Munich → Innsbruck.

A few regional trains also run through via Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Mittenwald, more slowly. ### How long does the train from Munich to Innsbruck take? About 1 hour 55 minutes on the direct Railjet until 12 December 2026, and about 1 hour 45 minutes from 13 December 2026.
