Making Your Way to the Trains at Innsbruck Hbf:

At Innsbruck Hbf train station the long platforms/tracks/bahnsteigs (1-7) that most of the trains depart from are divided into zones A, B, C and D.

On the departure screens these zones will be used, along with the number of the bahnsteig (platform/track), so that you may see that the Railjet to Wien is departing from '4 BC' etc.

The trains depart from an upper level, so there are two passage ways that run beneath the bahnsteigs (platforms/tracks),these passage ways give access to the trains from the departure hall.

However, when taking a train from Innsbruck Hbf pay particular attention to the zone(s) on the bahnsteig (platform/track) that your train will be departing from.

As you face the platforms from the departure hall, the passage way at the far left of the hall is the quickest route to zone A.

While that on the right has the easiest access to zones C and D.
If your train is departing from zone B it doesn’t matter which passage way you use.

You don’t need to use either passage way if you are commencing your journey at Innsbruck and your train is departing from platforms/tracks/bahnsteigs 21-22, as they have their own access from the south side of the departure hall.

If your train isn’t yet listed on the departure screens you can use the yellow 'Abfarhrt' departure posters to check the details of its departure.

The two passage ways that run beneath the bahnsteigs (platforms/tracks)  have to be used if you need to transfer between bahnsteigs when changing trains

Both passage ways are linked to each p/bahnsteig by stairs, escalators and lifts, so you won’t have to walk the length of the platform to search for a lift at Innsbruck Hbf.

If you’re changing trains at Innsbruck Hbf and your subsequent train is departing from bahnsteigs (platforms/tracks 21-22, you will find them towards the end of bahnsteig 1.

If you’re changing trains it’s a good idea to seek out the timetable departure sheets before exiting the platform/track/bahnsteig that you’re train has just arrived at.

If you’re in luck your subsequent train will be departing from the same platform/track/bahnsteig that you have just arrived at.
