East Tyrol: Overcoming borders together – strong cooperation!

East Tyrol: Overcoming borders together – strong cooperation!

In East Tyrol, where the mountains seem to overcome the boundaries between the regions, it is impressively demonstrated that solidarity is more than just a word. The Lienz district shows that there are real connections between Carinthia, Salzburg and South Tyrol, which are promoted by the Felbertauernstrasse, a symbol of regional connection since 1967. This road is not just a route from A to B, but a lifeline for people and markets that prosper together - a real matter close to the hearts of the locals.

In East Tyrol, togetherness plays a central role not only in the economy, but also in volunteer work and in daily life. An active community life and numerous initiatives make it clear that the residents here have a good knack for sustainable cohesion. This positive development is supported by the lively culture of dialogue and constant efforts to make progress in the region.

The Felbertauernstrasse in detail

Felbertauernstrasse offers various tariffs the opportunity to use its service. A standard tariff of €13.50 for a one-time passage applies to all vehicles, while local tariffs offer special discounts. For example, vehicles with license plates from certain neighboring districts in Tyrol, Carinthia and Salzburg only pay €11.50. The tariff for Mittersill is particularly attractive, with motorcycles and cars belonging to local residents only costing €5.75. These offers are a real advantage for residents who often have to use the road to combine urban life with intercity transport. Felbertauernstraße reports on the tariffs.

Future transport options

Another important traffic user in the region is the Staller Sattel pass crossing, which will remain closed to all traffic from November 19, 2024, with an expected opening in mid-May 2025. In the summer months, the crossing is open around the clock, but special traffic light regulations apply for crossings between the Defereggental and the Antholzertal.
