Important changes and convenient online registration

Using motorways and expressways in Austria has been subject to charges for many years. Drivers are required to purchase a valid vignette in order to use these important traffic routes. This regulation applies independently of the newly introduced Fernpass toll and constitutes an established practice that makes a significant contribution to the maintenance and safety of the Austrian road network.

From the year 2028, an important change will come into effect for motorists: the introduction of the Fernpass toll in the district of Reutte (Tyrol). This measure, which is particularly relevant for travellers from the Allgäu region, entails a number of changes, about which we would like to provide you with comprehensive information below. Under the new rules, drivers must pay a fee of 14 euros for the section between Lermoos and Nassereith. This decision was announced by Tyrol's governor Anton Mattle (ÖVP) and his deputy Georg Dornauer (SPÖ) at a press conference in Reutte. The toll revenues are intended to finance a tunnel project that is expected to significantly improve traffic flow on this important transit route. The estimated costs for the tunnel project amount to 160 million euros, and the measure is expected to reduce travel time by around three minutes.

Contrary to earlier considerations, no exemption from the toll for local drivers is planned. The reason for this is the new road charging guidelines of the European Union. As compensation, the introduction of a multi-trip ticket for frequent users is planned.

To implement the Fernpass toll, two toll stations in Nassereith and at Blindsee are planned. In addition, the toll will be payable electronically. Furthermore, a day ticket for drivers who wish to use the Fernpass in both directions on the same day is currently being discussed. The new toll regulation will particularly affect travellers and holidaymakers who use the Lermoos–Nassereith route on their way to Lake Garda or for excursions in the region.
