Felbertauern Tunnel (Special Toll)

What is the Felbertauern Tunnel?

The Felbertauern Tunnel is located on the Felbertauern Road (B 108), which is not a motorway but a well-developed rural road. The B 108 connects the north-western Austrian federal state of Salzburg with East Tyrol (federal state of Tyrol) to the south, and is considered a winter-safe route. This route is particularly suitable for travellers who don't just want to cover many kilometres on the motorway, but also want to experience the Austrian landscape. The Elisabethsee is also located along the route as a scenic attraction. Construction of the Felbertauern Tunnel began in 1962 and was completed in 1967.
