The ÖBB have once again prepared for the rush at the Hahnenkamm races in Kitzbühel this coming weekend and are waiting with increased frequency and more seats. The free "Hahnenkammexpress" shuttles "almost at the Vienna S-Bahn frequency between Kirchberg, Kitzbühel and St. Johann in Tirol", the ÖBB announced on Tuesday in a press release. A total of 80,000 additional seats are available for sports fans and party guests.

Special Train to Kitzbühel

"Our goal is to get the fans to the races on time and safely and back home", said Markus Moser, project manager of the ÖBB-Personenverkehr Tirol. To get to the start of the Streif on time on Saturday, a special train from Innsbruck to Kitzbühel will depart at 8.00 am. There will be additional stops in Schwaz, Jenbach, Brixlegg and Wörgl. Train attendants from Italy, Switzerland and Germany will also support the ÖBB staff.

"Main Station of Alpine Ski Racing"

The "Kitzbühel Hahnenkamm" stop in the immediate vicinity of the finish area will become the "main station of alpine ski racing" at the weekend, it was said. A modern guidance system ensures easy orientation. The S-Bahn trains will run at double strength with 400 seats and at peak times every 7.5 minutes. An early arrival is still recommended.
