We are going to be hiking in the Dolomites beginning of September 2026 with our base in Ortisei. We would like to go to Garmisch and Fussen, Germany afterwards. Any suggestions for train or bus transportation from Ortisei to Garmisch?
Thank you,

HI Patti,
You can get a local/regional bus from Ortisei to Chiusa and then a train to Innsbruck. Once there, you take regional train to Garmisch. It's between four and five hours for the whole trip. We bought our tickets the day we travelled rather than in advance. The bus ride in particular was very scenic.
I've only done Garmisch to Fussen in the winter and it was a little tricky, but that may have been because of the season. Seems to me we had an option of going by bus or by train. We went by train to Reutte in Tirol and then transferred to a bus for the last bit to Fussen. You can get a sense of it by searching point-to-point on Google Maps.
Cheers!
