The required times may slightly vary depending on the time of day.

The transportation means explained here are the ones that have more frequent services, and are thought to be most comonly used. We pirortized traveling by trains, but there can be various ways of transportations. For instance, in some cases, they have direct bus services. Also, in other cases, you may be able to get to the destinations a lot quicker by renting a car from the airport or from large cities.
(Driving on the snowy roads requires sophisticated driving skills to handle the snow coverage and avoid skidding.)
