Heading for the Hills: Munich's Mountain Bus Kicks Off at Pentecost with a Bunch of Fresh Moves
Mountain Bus Service in Munich Introduces Updates Starting from Pentecost - Mountain bus services in Munich kick off post-Pentecost with newly introduced innovations.
Hey there, adventure seekers! Buckle up as Munich's Mountain Bus revs up for the Pentecost holidays! No more weekend-only trips, ya heard that right! Now, folks can hop on board and journey to some sick alpine spots on holidays, too. The transport gang over at MVV says that townsfolk from the capital can hit the dusty trail to the Alps for free using the Germany Ticket. No Germany Ticket? No worries, men, just pay up the regular MVV charges.
Ready for the 2025 season, these bus lines will roll out with a newly polished timetable, cruising from Pentecost to All Saints' weekend in November. That passerby info has been beefed up, too.
Got your eye on some iconic locations such as Pfronten in Ostallgau, Tyrolean gems like Bayrischzell and Thiersee? You're in luck, buddy, because each line promises two round trips per day. Keen on reserving a comfy seat? No sweat, just fire up the MVV app and snag yours for free via the booking tool.
The MVV's been running these Mountain Bus Liners since last year. The initial launch was courtesy of the German Alpine Association in 2021, and as of now, the city of Munich, Miesbach, Ostallgau districts, and the state are throwing coins in the pot to cover the operating costs not sold through tickets.
In case you were wondering, more than 7,000 souls went on a jaunt to the Alps using these Mountain Buses last season. Top picks included the Tegelberg cable car near Neuschwanstein Castle and the Baeckeralm Gasthof in Bayrischzell, just a stone's throw from the Austrian border.

Extra Tidbits:
Public transportation around Munich is handled by the MVV, offering buses and trains galore. However, there's a teensy bit of construction happening on the S-Bahn lines from June 7 to June 13, 2025, which might affect your trip [1].
The "Germany Ticket" is like a magic pass that grants access to cheap or complimentary transportation across the nation, including buses and trains. But specifics about its application to a "Munich Mountain Bus" or similar services are hush-hush [2].
A variety of tours depart from Munich, such as the Neuschwanstein Castle tour, but they don't fall under the umbrella of a "Munich Mountain Bus" [3]. If you're on the hunt for precise info about that specific Mountain Bus, hitting up local transportation providers or tour operators would be the wise move.
- Community Policy Update: In light of the new Mountain Bus services, MVV has updated its policy to include free trips for townsfolk using the Germany Ticket during holidays, with regular MVV charges applying for those without one.
- Employment Policy Alteration: To cater to the expanded Mountain Bus services, MVV has introduced a booking tool on its app, allowing passengers to reserve a seat for free when using the Mountain Bus Liners for their alpine adventures.
