By car
That's very easy. Use your GPS Navigationsystem, enter Mallnitz / Austria (ZIP code is 9822) and drive there. But it might be good to know that GPS will route one from Vienna to Mallnitz via A6 and some smaller roads to Tauerntunnel (5,- EUR road tax). An alternativ is following the A2 via Graz, Klagenfurt, Villach, Spital.
There is a car shuttle train service ("Autoverladung") operating between Mallnitz (South of the Alps) and Böckstein (North of the Alps) through the over 8 km long Tauern Railway Tunnel. If you are coming from the North you might want to use it. Because of this car shuttle train service there are signs leading towards Mallnitz from far away. Please do not forget to buy the highway vignette! (fines are horrendous!)
