GETTING THERE

Emirates fly to Vienna or Munich via Dubai, with connections through to Innsbruck with Austrian Air. Another most amenable option is to use the fast and clean Austrian rail system (OBB) connecting Innsbruck to both airports and delivering a very scenic, very convenient transfer. emirates.com; oebb.at/en
