Münchner Bergbus starts: Discover the Bavarian Alps comfortably!

München, Deutschland - The Munich mountain bus starts on 7. June 2025 and offers a convenient way to reach some of the most popular hiking destinations in the Bavarian Alps. This new service is operated on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays until the beginning of November and enables access to breathtaking landscapes in the surrounding area of ​​Munich and beyond.

With two main connections, the line "996 Bergbus" to Pfronten in the Ostallgäu and to the Wieskirche in the Weilheim-Schongau district, and the line "396 Bergbus" , which leads towards Bayrischzell, Lezachtal and Thiersee in Tyrol, a wide range of hiking options is offered. Since May 2024, the mountain bus has also been part of the Munich Transport Association (MVV), which offers passengers the opportunity to travel with the MVV tariff. The Germany ticket is also accepted.

reservations and capacities

Due to the limited capacities, a seat reservation is recommended because standing room is not available. The initiative for this new offer comes from the Alpenverein Munich & Oberland and is realized by the city of Munich in cooperation with the districts of Miesbach and Ostallgäu, supported by the Free State. Additional pendulum traffic between return and return journeys is also offered, especially for difficult to reach target regions.

The attractiveness of the Alps as travel destinations remains unbroken, and around 100 million people visit the Alpine arch every year. Nevertheless, the boom in tourism leads to conflicts of use and has negative effects on nature and landscape. These challenges are increased by climate change, so that it is increasingly necessary to find alternatives for traditional tourism.

sustainable tourism in focus

In the current development of tourism, it is often tended to be "larger and more spectacular". In winter destinations, many communities are in the process of creating summer attractions that go beyond the seasonal offers. This includes the construction of viewing platforms, suspension bridges and fun parks. Winter and ski tourism in particular is faced with great challenges: increasing warming, increase in the snowfall limit, shortened ski ranks and stagnating number of skiers are just a few of the problems with which ski areas are confronted today.

In order to be able to survive in the increasingly competitive market, ski areas often come together across valleys and open up undeveloped terrain chambers. The German Alpine Association (DAV) is committed to an environmentally friendly and resource -saving tourism, which dispenses with large -scale development and energy -intensive activities. It is important to respect nature conservation requirements and to promote the dialogue with the local population and to support an ecologically oriented mountain country economy.
