We are in our final planning (4 adults and 1 infant)of a Austrian train ride from Salzburg, through Zell am See, through Innsbruck and final destination for day is Fussen. We know we can use the Einfach Pass to get from Salzburg to Innsbruck and then to Scharnitz (on the German border), but after that we need help with best way to get to Fussen. The Bayern Pass was suggested, but I do not see it going from Scharnitz into Germany to get to Fussen on the Bayern Pass.

DB shows that you will be traveling by train from Scharnitz across the German border to Mittenwald, then on to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, then Reutte, and then making a bus trip from there to Füssen. The Austrian pass you refer to is called the "Einfach Raus" ticket. It should be good to the German border - not just to Scharnitz station (which isn't quite on the border.) The Bayern Ticket should be good from that same border on to Mittenwald, Garmisch, and Reutte (even on those lines in Austria between Garmisch and Reutte known as the "Ausserfernbahn," which are DB-controlled.) You just need to have your Bayern ticket in hand when you cross the border, so pick it up in Salzburg before you take off. I do not believe the Bayern ticket will work on the entire BUS trip between Reutte and Füssen. You will probably need to pay additionally for the Reutte-Musau segment (about 2.70€.) Have you actually checked the time involved for all this travel?
