Germany’s automobile club ADAC issued its 24–26 October congestion forecast on 22 October, predicting heavy traffic on all trans-Alpine corridors as northern German holidaymakers head home while Bavarian and Baden-Württemberg schools begin their break. The group expects long queues at Austrian border crossings Walserberg (A1) and Kufstein (A12), and on the Brenner (A13/ A22) and Tauernautobahn (A10).
Although ADAC is a German body, its prognosis is critical for Austrian mobility planners because up to 60 percent of transits through Tyrol originate in or pass through Germany. ASFINAG confirms that lane restrictions on the A10 near Golling amplify risk of tailbacks exceeding 15 km.
Corporate shuttle providers serving Salzburg’s tech corridor have been advised to avoid the A1 on Sunday afternoon and to consider the slower but less congested B156. Meanwhile, ÖBB will lengthen two Railjet double-sets between Munich and Innsbruck, adding 1,400 seats.
The forecast coincides with Vienna’s own ARBÖ warning and paints a comprehensive picture of cross-border mobility pressure. Employers with duty travel to Italy via road should explore the intermodal “Brenner-RoLa” truck-on-train service, which still has capacity.
The report also flags that random German federal police checks will continue at the Walserberg crossing, adding unpredictability ahead of full biometric checks in 2026.
