TRAVELLING BY TRAIN

From the U.S. the most convenient (and perhaps least expensive) flight is to Frankfurt, Munich, Milano, or Venice.

There is also a small airport in Bolzano (and another in Insbruck) that can be reached from several European cities.

The least expensive car rentals are located in Frankfurt or Munich.

In Europe, from the South (connection in Verona), take the train North to Bolzano (Bozen), Italy. From the North, take the train south from Innsbruck to the Brixen (Bressanone) station before it heads further south to Bolzano.

A week or two before you leave, please indicate to Professor Silverman via e-mail when and where you expect to arrive. We will arrange taxi service from the train station up into the mountains (about 50 minutes). Be prepared to pay the taxi driver, but we will attempt to group travellers so they can share costs.

Anyone who is able to rent or bring a car will provide an addional means of transportation during the seminar.

TRAVELLING BY CAR

By car, take the autostrada north to Bolzano (Bozen). If you are coming from Munich or Innsbruck, travel south over the Brenner Pass toward Bressanone (Brixen).

From Bolzano, continue north to Prato Isarco (Blumau), then to Siusi (Seis) and finally to Castelrotto (Kastelruth) with a brief ride up to the mountain pass (Passo Pinei) where you will find the Hotel Panider Sattel driveway located on the right. You will be travelling in the direction of St. Ulrich that is located in the next valley.

From Bressanone, continue south (either on the regular road along the river or on the Autostrada travelling south from the Brenner Pass at the Austrian border to Ponte Gardena (Waidbruck). Head up into the mountains until you come to Kastelruth (Castelrotto). Then follow the directions above.

If you drive toward St. Ulrich, exit the Autostrada at Klausen, you will travel straight up the hill to St. Ulrich (Ortisei). Just before St. Ulrich turn right on the road through the tunnel leading to Seis and the Seiseralm/ Alpe di Siusi. Follow signs to the Hotel Panider Sattel at the top of the mountain road. The Hotel driveway will be located on the left (before you get to the small St. Michael Chuch). If you are travelling downhill, you have gone too far.
