The G7 summit of the seven main heads of state or government begins next Sunday at Schloss Elmau in Bavaria, near the border with Tyrol. The area will become a high security zone. You also feel that in this country. “The measures extend over the entire southern German area and, due to the proximity of the border, also have a direct impact on traffic in Tyrol,” emphasizes the municipality.
Because the larger area of Scharnitz – Mittenwald – Garmisch-Partenkirchen must be free of through traffic as much as possible, national through traffic on the B177 Seefelder Strasse to Germany from June 25 from 6:00 AM to June 28 at 6:00 PM is not possible. “The primary purpose of the measures is to divert traffic flow around the event site,” said the Tyrolean police.
Detour via Fernpass or Kufstein
It is recommended to choose the alternative route via the B179 Fernpassstraße in the Ausserfern and the A12 Inntalautobahn at Kufstein/Kiefersfelden. However, heavy vehicle drivers are advised to use the A14 Rheintalautobahn and beyond via Memmingen towards Munich and avoid the Fernpass route (driving ban for trucks over 7.5 tons).
The border crossings at Ehrwald/Griesen and Scharnitz/Mittenwald should be completely avoided during the G7 summit.
Memories of 2015
The G7 summit also requires the local executive to stay away from traffic, although its scope and size are far from comparable to the G7 summit in Schloss Elmau in 2015. At the time, 1,800 police officers were deployed in the state – especially since the Bilderberg conference shortly followed. took place in Tyrol.
This time there are about 500 agents at work. The main duties of the police officers will be identity checks, reconnaissance and security patrols in alpine terrain and traffic diversions. When it comes to alpine hiking, the focus is on the districts of Reutte, Innsbruck-Land, the city of Innsbruck and especially the nearby Seefeld Plateau.
Airspace also affected
The airspace is also affected by the high-profile political rally. Germany will introduce an “airspace restricted zone” within a radius of about 50 kilometers at the summit, which will also include a “fixed part” of Tyrol, it said. Air traffic at Innsbruck Airport will continue as normal, but private planes or athletes such as paragliders will be affected by the restriction. Air security is a matter for the military, the police emphasized.
