KlimaTicket Austria
KlimaTicket ÖPass
KlimaTicket Austria runs for 12 months, so it suits someone who lives in Austria or spends a long winter there, and a 7- to 12-day market trip will rarely earn back its price. The Classic ticket costs €1,400 for a year starting on or after 1 January 2026, and the reduced Youth, Senior and Special tickets cost €1,050. It covers every scheduled public and private train in Austria, ÖBB and WESTbahn included, along with city and regional transport.

Travellers aged 25 or younger or 65 or older pay the reduced price, as do disabled travellers,, and up to four children aged 6 to 15 ride along for €140 a year on the family add-on. The ticket stops at the Austrian border, so you need a separate ticket for the foreign part of a trip to Munich or Prague. Tourist lines such as the Schafbergbahn above St Wolfgang and the Wachaubahn sit outside it.
First class and seat reservations cost extra. ÖBB gives KlimaTicket holders half off its seat reservations, which brings a seat to €1.50, and the day coach of a Nightjet inside Austria comes at no extra charge, with couchettes and sleepers priced on top.
