The Felbertauern Tunnel Toll in Austria

Presentation of the Felbertauern Tunnel

The Felbertauern Road is not a motorway like those operated by ASFINAG, but a well-developed country road (B 108) that connects the Austrian state of Salzburg in the northwest with neighboring East Tyrol in the south. It is also winter-proof. This route is ideal for travelers who want to discover and enjoy the beauty of the Austrian countryside off the beaten track. During the journey, visitors have the opportunity to admire the small but charming Elisabethsee and take a short break.

Construction of the Felbertauern Tunnel began in 1962, and it was successfully opened in 1967. Unlike many other tunnels in Austria, the Felbertauern Tunnel consists of a single tube structure. It is estimated that around 4,000 vehicles use the tunnel daily, with about 7% of these being trucks. Because the Felbertauern Tunnel is a road-only tunnel, bicycles are not permitted. However, there is a special on-site transport service for cyclists, which transports up to three people for a total of €30. With a total length of 5,282 meters (5.2 km), the Felbertauern Tunnel is one of the eleven longest tunnels in Austria.
