Innsbruck is reached across the Arlberg, and this route carries two road charges rather than one: the Austrian motorway vignette, and the Arlberg road tunnel toll, which is charged separately from it. Both are on the car before it leaves and both are inside the fare.
It is a Tyrolean capital with a university, a congress centre and a ski calendar, and the traffic reflects all three. The Inn valley is a corridor rather than a destination — a great deal of European freight uses it — and that is felt on the approach.
