Bergbusseason Kicks Off at Pentecost with Exciting Changes on the Horizon
Mountain Bus Service in Munich Introduces Innovations from Pentecost Onward - Mountain bus services in Munich introduce changes from Pentecost, featuring fresh innovations.
Hey there! Ready for a hiking adventure? The much-anticipated return of Munich's Mountain Bus just landed on our doorstep - well, more like for Pentecost vacation. Excitingly, the routes will no longer be limited to weekends. Instead, hikers and explorers can now journey to sought-after destinations on holidays as well.
Interested? You'll need the Germany Ticket if you're a Bavarian traveler seeking a free ride to the Alps. For those without the Germany Ticket, fret not! Morale remains high, as the usual ticket rates will apply.
Looking ahead to the 2025 season, the Mountain Bus lines will debut with an improved schedule, setting sail from Pentecost until the All Saints’ weekend in early November. Plus, there's an upgrade in passenger information.
Destination hotspots like Pfronten in Ostallgau, Bayrischzell, and Thiersee in Tirol await your presence. Here's a pro tip: with two round trips per day on each line, securing your seat ahead of time via the MVV app's booking tool means extra peace of mind.
The Mountain Bus lines have been part of the Munich Transport Association (MVV) since last year, making their grand debut during the 2021 season. As outlined in the pilot project by the German Alpine Association, funding now derives from the city of Munich, the districts of Miesbach and Ostallgau, and the Bavarian State government, covering the unfunded operational costs not covered by ticket sales.
Enthused by the 2024 season's success, the Mountain Bus accommodated more than 7,000 day-trippers, with Tegelberg cable car near Neuschwanstein Castle and Bayrischzell's Gasthof Baeckeralm by the Austrian border being prominent preferences.
While the specific launch date for the 2025 Mountain Bus season is yet to be announced, historical data and information from typical years suggest that these services usually run from late spring through early autumn (commencing around late May or early June until October). Various other popular destinations within the region, such as Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Tegernsee, Schliersee, Bad Tölz, Mittenwald, Walchensee, and Eibsee, offer an array of outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, swimming, and more - all in the midst of picturesque landscapes.
Stay tuned for updates, and keep an eye on the official MVV (Munich Transport) website or local news for announcements regarding Bergbus or Freizeitbus services. Don't forget to plan your Pentecost vacation with these fabulous Mountain Bus adventures in mind!
