Lech am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport Transfers with Alpinum Taxi
A private Lech am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport transfer with Alpinum Taxi covers 122 kilometres in about 1 hour 35 minutes and starts at €300 per vehicle for one to eight passengers, luggage and ski equipment included. The Lech to Innsbruck Airport drive begins by going up rather than down — the Flexen road climbs past Zürs to Alpe Rauz before any descent starts — and that first half hour is why we leave Lech three and a half hours before your flight rather than three.
The price of a St. Anton to Innsbruck Airport transfer starts at €300 per vehicle — the same fixed price as the other direction, for up to eight passengers with luggage, from your accommodation to the door of the hall at Innsbruck Airport. Skis and snowboards travel free, and child seats are fitted at no extra charge. What every Lech airport transfer costs is on one page.
An airport transfer with us is requested rather than bought like a seat: you send the pickup address, the date, the flight number and how many of you there are, and we send the fixed price back. It becomes a booking only when you say yes — and at that point the driver, the vehicle and the time are settled.
Your private transfer starts where you are staying, not at a meeting point. Nobody else travels with you, there are no stops on the way, and the journey ends in front of the departures hall. The Innsbruck Airport to Lech transfer works the same way in reverse.
When Should You Leave Lech am Arlberg for Innsbruck Airport?
Your transfer leaves three and a half hours before your flight departs from Innsbruck. That is not the driving time — the journey itself takes about 1h 35min. The difference is the margin: the descent out of the Stanzertal, winter conditions on that first stretch through the season, and check-in and security at Innsbruck Airport with ski luggage.
The first twenty-odd kilometres decide the pickup time. Lech sits at the top of a road that has to reach Alpe Rauz before it can go anywhere at all, and the Flexen is the stretch we watch after fresh snow. It is also the stretch that closes for avalanche risk, and when it closes there is no way round it, because there is no second road out of Lech. From St. Anton onward the Lech to Innsbruck Airport route is the S16 and then motorway along the valley floor, and that half of the drive behaves the same in February as it does in July.
For comparison: for a flight from Zurich we leave five hours before departure, an hour and a half earlier than this. The difference matches the two drives — 122 kilometres to Innsbruck against 200 to Zurich — and the difference between one hall and two terminals.
The table is the starting point, not the answer. On the day before you travel we ring you and set the exact time. It comes from the forecast for that morning, from what the road down the valley is doing, and from the hour you are flying. You do not have to work it out, and you do not have to chase us.

Lech to Innsbruck Airport Transfer: Price, Distance and Journey Time
A private transfer from Lech am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport starts at €300 per vehicle for 122 km and about 1h 35min. The price covers the vehicle rather than the seat: whether two travel or six, the agreed transfer price is the same.
For ski groups and families that is the whole difference against a seat on a shared shuttle, where every passenger pays separately. An airport transfer for two costs what an airport transfer for six costs.
The transfer back costs the same as the Innsbruck Airport to Lech transfer. There is no night surcharge even when we are at your door at half past three in the morning, and no holiday surcharge. The transfer price does not move if snow makes the journey longer than planned — all our prices sit on one page.
What is included
Included in the price
- Fixed price — quoted before you book, unchanged on the day
- A call the day before — with the exact pickup time for that day
- Door pickup — at any hour, with no night surcharge
- Ski carriage — skis and boards on the rear rack, no extra charge
- Child seats — free, fitted on request
- Road charges — the Austrian ones; no border and no tunnel toll on this route
- Terminal — set down directly in front of the departures hall
What is not included
A stop you ask for on the way is charged by the time it takes and quoted before we make it. Beyond that there are no extras: no night surcharge, no holiday surcharge, nothing added for luggage.
Door-to-Door Pickup in Lech am Arlberg
Every private transfer starts at the entrance of your accommodation — the hotel, chalet or apartment you have been staying in — not at the edge of the village and not at a meeting point. Your driver comes to the door, helps with the cases and the ski bags, and loads the luggage himself.
Most guests leaving Oberlech come down on the gondola, and that is the ordinary case: the bags travel down with you and we load them at the Oberlechbahn valley station, in the hall built under the road. With a ski pass the gondola itself costs nothing, because it is included. Two kinds of address work differently. A hotel with a tunnel of its own out of the Umschlaghalle brings you down that tunnel on an electric cart — you ride in it, the cases go on the trailer behind — and we wait inside the hall, past the barrier. And the few houses at the very top of the road, which neither the gondola nor a tunnel reaches, we drive to directly. Tell us at the booking which of the three reception named, and the driver goes straight there. In Lech itself there are no restricted streets: we pull up at the hotel door, and the same holds for Zug, the hamlet just outside the village — our price list carries Lech, Zug and Oberlech on one line.
Early transfers are normal for us. For one of the first flights out of Innsbruck that means a pickup before four in the morning, and nothing is added to the transfer price for it. Our drivers live on the Arlberg, and the same holds for every airport transfer we run from the Arlberg.
Door to door means every part of the village and not the centre only: we collect from Lech, Omesberg, Stubenbach, Zug and Oberlech, and from the hotels, chalets and apartments on the roads between them.
On luggage: tell us with the request how many cases, ski bags and boot bags are coming. Skis and snowboards travel on the external rear rack, the rest travels inside the vehicle with you. Child seats and booster seats are fitted free — just tell us the ages.
You can also leave from a different address than the one we dropped you at on the transfer in from Innsbruck Airport — a second hotel, a friend’s chalet, any accommodation in the village. Just tell us where you want to start.
The Route from Lech am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport
The Lech am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport route crosses the Arlberg rather than going round it. From Lech the Flexenstraße climbs through the galleries past Zürs to Alpe Rauz, where the road up from the Klostertal joins from the other side; from there the transfer turns east over the Arlbergpass, through St. Christoph at 1,800 metres and down into St. Anton. At the St. Anton junction it joins the S16, and from Landeck the S16 becomes the A12 and follows the Inn past Imst and Telfs to Kranebitten, where the airport sits. The Arlberg road tunnel is not used on this drive, no border is crossed and there is no tunnel toll.
The journey is direct: no other passengers, no second vehicle and no stop between your door and the hall. Because the airport sits at Kranebitten on the western edge of Innsbruck, the transfer never crosses the city — the motorway ends within sight of the building.
Two places on that road have pages of their own: Zürs am Arlberg, the first village on the Flexen road, and St. Christoph am Arlberg, the top of the pass, where the descent begins. We drive the same road from both.
On the Morning of Your Flight
By the evening before, you know when you are leaving. The call is the point at which a forecast is replaced by something better: around sixty colleagues are connected by radio, and whoever is out on the road says what it is doing down the valley.
After fresh snow we leave earlier. If the morning needs more time, you hear it the evening before and plan around it. Nobody can promise a mountain road is always open — but we can promise you hear about it before you get up, not on the doorstep.
Innsbruck Airport is a single hall, and after a drive like this one that is the part that works in your favour. We set you down at the kerb in front of the building; check-in and departures are on the right as you stand facing it, arrivals on the left, and the walk from the car to the desk takes under a minute. Nobody has to find a second terminal with ski bags at the end of a hundred and twenty-two kilometres, and there is no train under the building to take.
Checking in with ski luggage takes longer than checking in without it: oversized bags go in separately. That is what the three and a half hours are for — not the drive itself, which takes about 1h 35min.
Not everyone flies home from Innsbruck. If your flight out goes from Zurich instead, we set that pickup time the same way — the evening before, from the road and the forecast — except that the transfer leaves five hours before departure.
Transfers from Lech am Arlberg to Other Airports
Not everyone flies home from Innsbruck. We run private airport transfers from Lech to the other airports in the region as well, at a fixed price per vehicle and on the same logic: the lead time follows the distance and the size of the airport, and the exact time comes in the call the day before.
| To airport | km | Time | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Altenrhein | 118 | 1h 30min | from €300 |
| Friedrichshafen | 138 | 1h 40min | from €400 |
| Memmingen | 175 | 2h | from €440 |
| Zurich | 200 | 2h 20min | from €460 |
| Munich | 304 | 3h 15min | from €690 |
Figures are per vehicle for one to eight passengers. Every transfer from the Arlberg on one page: transfers from the Arlberg.
The same fixed price per vehicle applies to the Lech to Altenrhein Airport transfer, and to the transfers to Friedrichshafen Airport and Memmingen Airport.
Train, Bus, Rental Car or Private Transfer to Innsbruck Airport?
On the way home one argument turns around. Arriving, you get there when you get there; leaving, the timetable decides when your day starts — you work back from the train’s departure rather than from your flight.
Lech has no railway station, and for a flight from Innsbruck that costs more than it does for one from Zurich. The nearest platforms are Langen am Arlberg and St. Anton, both on the far side of the pass, so the train begins with a road transfer whatever happens; from either one the line runs down the Inn valley to Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof. Innsbruck Airport, though, is not on the railway — the last four kilometres out to Kranebitten are a bus or a taxi on top. Counted end to end that is a car, a train and a third vehicle, with a ski bag and a boot bag each, on the morning of a flight. Which of the two stations you want is decided by the train and not by the distance, because not every service stops at both — check where yours actually calls, tell us, and we drive you to that platform.
A rental car has to be returned at the airport, which on departure day is one more task with a deadline attached. The bus is the slowest of the four because it has the most changes in it.
A private transfer removes exactly that: one time, one door, one fixed transfer price — and the same cars work as a local taxi while you are here.
Why Choose Alpinum Taxi for Your Transfer to Innsbruck Airport?
Most companies selling a transfer from Lech am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport are not on the Arlberg — they pass the job on. Every airport transfer we sell, we drive ourselves, in our own vehicles and with our own drivers. For a pickup at half past three in the morning that is the whole difference.
The same drivers and the same vehicles run this road in the other direction and for the other villages on the Arlberg: Klösterle, Langen am Arlberg, St. Anton am Arlberg, St. Christoph, Stuben and Zürs.
Four reasons
We set the time, you do not have to
You do not have to work out the pickup time yourself. We give you one — three and a half hours before departure — and then ring the day before to set it for that day: from the forecast, from what the road is doing, and from the hour you fly.
A fixed price per vehicle, known in advance
The transfer price is agreed before you book and does not move on the day — not for a night pickup, not on a holiday, and not when snow makes the drive longer. Over 100 kilometres the figure is settled from the start rather than climbing on a meter.
Our own 4x4 vehicles
Our fleet is Mercedes 4x4 minibuses and VW Caravelle 4x4 minibuses, and they are ours rather than hired in for the season. From November to April they are on winter tyres, with chains carried all season, and ski bags travel outside on the rear rack. The same cars work as a local taxi in Lech during your stay.
Private means private
Nobody else travels with you, there is no meeting point, no change of vehicle and no stop between your door and the hall. Child seats and booster seats are free.
Lech am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport Transfer — Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Innsbruck Airport from Lech am Arlberg?
The road distance from Lech am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport is about 122 kilometres, east down the Stanzertal and the Inn valley. Innsbruck is the closest airport to the village.
How long does the Lech to Innsbruck Airport transfer take?
About 1h 35min for the 122 kilometres. Your pickup time does not follow the driving time alone, though — we leave three and a half hours before your flight departs.
How much is a transfer from Lech to Innsbruck Airport?
From €300 per vehicle. The same fixed price covers the Innsbruck Airport to Lech transfer in the other direction.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. €300 is the price of the car, whether two travel or six. Up to eight passengers with luggage is still one vehicle and one price.
What time do we leave Lech for a 07:00 flight?
At 03:30. That is worked out at three and a half hours before departure; the binding time comes in the call the day before you travel.
And for an 11:00 flight?
We collect you at 07:30, and at 13:30 for a flight at 17:00. The table in what time the transfer leaves covers the usual departure times.
Who decides the exact pickup time?
We do, in the call on the day before you travel. The three and a half hours are the starting point; the final time comes from the forecast for that morning and from what the road is doing. You work nothing out.
Do you drive in the middle of the night?
Yes, and nothing is added for it. For the first flights out of Innsbruck that means a pickup before four in the morning, which through the ski season is ordinary work for us.
What happens if it snows heavily overnight?
We leave earlier, and you hear about it the evening before rather than on the doorstep. The transfer price does not change when the drive takes longer.
How many passengers fit in one vehicle?
Up to eight with luggage. For larger groups we send two vehicles to the same door at the same time.
Can we bring skis and snowboards?
Yes, free of charge. Skis and boards travel outside on the rear rack and the rest of the luggage travels inside with you. Tell us with the request how many ski bags and boot bags are coming.
Are child seats available?
Yes, free. Tell us the ages when you book and the seats and boosters are fitted before we pull up.
Where do you collect us in Lech?
At the door of your accommodation — hotel, chalet or apartment, anywhere in the village: Omesberg, Stubenbach, Zug or Oberlech. Where a lane is too tight for the vehicle, we agree the nearest point it can stand.
Can we leave from a different address than the one you dropped us at?
Yes. Just tell us where the journey starts — a second hotel, a friend’s chalet, any address in the village.
Does the route use the Arlberg road tunnel?
No. The tunnel runs west and Innsbruck Airport lies east. The transfer joins the S16 at the St. Anton junction and turns away from the tunnel mouth about a hundred metres before it.
Does the route cross the Arlberg pass?
No. The pass and the tunnel both lie west of the village. The way to Innsbruck Airport is downhill and eastward the whole distance.
Is there a toll or a border crossing?
No border and no tunnel toll on this route — it stays inside Austria from end to end. Austrian road charges are inside the fixed price.
Where exactly do you set us down at Innsbruck Airport?
Right in front of the hall. Innsbruck Airport is a single building: standing outside with it in front of you, check-in and departures are on the right and arrivals on the left, and the walk from the kerb to the desk takes under a minute.
Is Innsbruck the closest airport to Lech am Arlberg?
Yes, at about 122 kilometres. Altenrhein comes next at 110 km, then Friedrichshafen at 140 km. Zurich is twice as far at 200 km.
Can we take the train instead?
Lech am Arlberg has its own station on the Arlbergbahn, so yes. Innsbruck Airport is not on the railway, though: from the main station out to Kranebitten is a bus or a taxi on top of the train.
Is the transfer private?
Yes. The vehicle runs for your group only. Nobody else is picked up, there is no meeting point and there is no stop between your door and the hall.
How do I pay for the transfer?
By card or in cash, before or after the journey. We agree which when you book: we take no deposit and store no card details.
Can I cancel free of charge?
Yes, up to 24 hours before the pickup — a call or a WhatsApp message is enough.
What do you need from me to quote the fixed price?
The pickup address, the date, the flight number, the departure time, how many of you there are and what luggage and ski equipment is coming. We work out the fixed price and the pickup time from that and send both back.
Can I book the transfer in as well?
Yes. Say so with the request and both journeys come back in one quote — the Innsbruck Airport to Lech transfer runs on the same rules in the other direction.
