Brenner Pass to be closed on May 30, 2026 due to demonstration

On May 30, 2026, from 11:00 to 19:00, the A13 (Brenner) motorway, B182 road, and L38 road in Tyrol will be fully closed to through traffic due to a demonstration against traffic congestion. Authorities expect over 32,000 vehicles to be unable to pass. Drivers are advised to avoid travel through Tyrol that weekend. Alternative routes (Gotthard, San Bernardino, Reschen Pass, Felbertauern) may be congested and are not always suitable for motorhomes and caravans. Those who cannot postpone their trip are advised to stop in the region (e.g., Innsbruck or the Po Valley) and continue after restrictions are lifted.

Carinthia introduces different tourism tax for campsites and hotels

Starting January 2027, the Austrian state of Carinthia will enforce a new tourism law with different accommodation tax rates: €4 per night at campsites and €4.50 at hotels. The Camping Association (IG Camping) is considering legal action, arguing the €0.50 difference is disproportionate to the lower cost of a campsite night. Tourism minister Schuschnig justifies the disparity by stating that campsite guests bring their own bed. Experts warn that courts may find this reasoning insufficient and equalize the rate to €4.50 for all.
