From Salzburg airport to Zell:

By bus: You may be able to catch the Vorderegger bus directly to Zell (the bus station is around 5 minutes’ walk from the apartment but often the bus driver will be happy to drop you at the corner). The return journey costs around €30 per adult and €15 for children. There is also a regular bus service several times a day, which may be quicker than taking the train if the times are suitable.

By car: You can rent a car to drive to Zell – they can be quite cheap if you book in advance. A small car costs from €29 per day. However, you won’t really need a car in Zell as you are located very centrally and connections to everywhere are very good. Also, you can rent a car for the day in Zell from around €50 per day!

By train: You will need to get a bus from the airport to the main train station and then a train to Zell from there. The total journey will take around 2½ hours. More info at www.oebb.at.
