Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Schwaz

  • Schwaz lies in the Inn Valley and is a short train ride from Innsbruck
  • Since concerts take place across both Schwaz and Innsbruck, checking the schedule in advance helps with planning routes
  • Mid to late September can bring changeable autumn weather to the Inn Valley, so a jacket for cooler evenings is worthwhile
  • Accommodation in Schwaz and the Silberregion Karwendel should be booked early during the festival weeks
