Mobility in Styria

When on holiday in Styria, even your car gets to take some time off. The public transport network leaves nothing to be desired.

And in places where there are no buses or trains, innovative mobility solutions were established. The GUSTmobil, for example, brings holiday guests to the city centre of Graz all year round. The WEINmobil is the safe solution for wine lovers along the Southern Styrian Wine Road. And with the ski and hiking buses of the Schladming-Dachstein Region, you can travel comfortably from your accommodation to the ski resort or to the starting point of your hike.

Graz Linien as well as the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), the Steiermärkische Landesbahnen (STLB) and the Graz-Köflach Railway (GKB) ensure mobility in Graz as well as across the holiday regions of Styria.

Good to know: Thanks to Rail & Drive by ÖBB, you can flexibly switch between travelling by train and by car.

Free public transport in Graz

Did you know that between Jakominiplatz and Hauptplatz plus one stop in both directions, visitors travel for free on the Old Town Tram? Just look for the "Altstadt Bim" sticker and off you go on your journey through the UNESCO World Heritage City.

GUSTmobil in and around Graz

Wherever there are no buses or trams, you'll find the GUSTmobil Graz and VOmobil Lipizzanerheimat. The mobility solution is an optimal addition to the existing public transport connections, and it makes the outskirts and western part of Graz and the region around Graz easily accessible.

Safe travels in Southern Styria

WEINmobil

Are you planning to drive along the Wine Road with your own car? Maybe not the greatest idea ... That's where the WEINmobil comes in handy – the taxi service takes visitors quickly and easily to their desired location: to excursion destinations, wineries, wine taverns, restaurants or inns, to accommodation in the nearest village or to public transport connection stops.

Ski and hiking buses in the Schladming-Dachstein region

The ski and hiking buses are probably the most pleasant way to start and also end a day of skiing or hiking. In the morning, they take sports enthusiasts and their equipment to the desired starting point. And after an active day on skis, a snowboard or on the hiking trails, you can simply hop back on the bus and relax on the way back to your accommodation.

OTHER REGIONAL MOBILITY OPTIONS

The parking spaces at the most beautiful places in the green heart of Austria are usually very popular and thus occupied early. To be on the safe side when travelling, it is better to use regional alternatives instead of your car:

  • The Gesäuse collective taxi takes passengers to the Gesäuse National Park in a relaxed manner.
  • Salzkammergut-Shuttle Ausseerland: On five routes between Sandling and Grimming, the Salzkammergut Shuttle Service runs daily from 07:00 to 22:00 from connection points such as railway stations, bus stops, local offices and car parks to 110 destinations.
  • The Tälerbus brings nature lovers to eleven car-free hiking zones – from Lungau to Murau, the Nock Mountains or the Niedere Tauern range.
  • Thanks to the Gamlitzer Service-Taxi (GAST), the REGIOmobil Südsteiermark or the Gästetaxi Sulmtal-Sausal your car gets to take some time off too. The taxi brings visitors from attraction to attraction – completely free of charge.
  • The Thermenlandbus takes holidaymakers to the Styrian Spa Country, starting from Vienna.
  • Gasti - the call taxi in Bad Gleichenberg: operation Sunday to Thursday from 09:00- 22:00, Friday and Saturday from 09:00 - 24:00. Pick-up is exclusively from marked stops to the desired destination in the municipality of Bad Gleichenberg.
