Munich Airport to St. Christoph Transfers From €660 per vehicle

A private Munich–St. Christoph transfer costs from €660 per vehicle, one way. The price is fixed when you book and covers every toll, skis and snowboards, child seats and the drive to the door of your accommodation.

Per vehicle. €660 is the price of the car and not of a seat in it, and it does not change between two passengers and eight. On a drive this long that is the whole difference against a shared shuttle, where every passenger pays separately and the vehicle still stops for other people.

About 237 kilometres over the Fernpass. The drive runs south to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, crosses into Austria at Ehrwald, climbs the Fernpass and drops to Nassereith, then continues through Imst to Landeck and up the Stanzertal to St. Anton — from where the pass road climbs the last seven kilometres.

Around 3 hours 5 minutes. There are two mountain sections on this drive rather than one: the Fernpass near the start and the climb from St. Anton at the end. Between them it is fast road.

The Fernpass. From Munich the A95 runs south to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the border is crossed at Ehrwald, and the road climbs the Fernpass at 1,216 metres before dropping to Nassereith and running on through Imst to Landeck. It is the same corridor we use for St. Anton, and it is shorter than going round by Kufstein.

About 1,800 metres, on the summit of the Arlbergpass itself. That makes it the highest place we drive to — higher than Zürs at 1,717 metres, and roughly five hundred metres above St. Anton in the valley below.

Because they are reached on different roads. St. Christoph is 237 km over the Fernpass, straight south through Tyrol; Stuben is 291 km round the north side of the Arlberg by way of Lindau and the Klostertal. The Fernpass cuts across where the western road takes the long way round — so the higher village is also the nearer one.

Neither. St. Christoph sits on the pass road above St. Anton, and we reach it from below — up the seven kilometres from St. Anton, without entering the tunnel and without crossing the top of the pass. The Flexenstraße is the road to Zürs and Lech, on the other side of Alpe Rauz, and it is not used here.

Yes, all of them. The Austrian motorway vignette is inside the fixed price, and no Arlberg tunnel toll arises at all because this route does not use the tunnel.

No, although they share a name and a lift pass. St. Anton am Arlberg is the large village in the valley at 1,300 metres; St. Christoph is the small one on the pass road above it, about 7 kilometres away and some five hundred metres higher. The ski area is the same one, and the two are joined by the pass road and by piste.

Yes, at Ehrwald, before the Fernpass. Munich Airport is in Bavaria, in Germany, and St. Christoph am Arlberg is in Tyrol, in Austria. Both countries are in the Schengen area, so there is normally no routine check, but carry the identity document you flew with in case of a temporary one.

No. The route goes straight from Germany into Austria at Ehrwald and stays in Austria from there. No Swiss vignette and no second border.

No — Innsbruck is, at about 107 kilometres against 237 from Munich. People fly into Munich for the flight rather than for the drive: it is the international airport of the six, with the widest choice of long-haul connections.

In the public arrivals area for your flight, holding a sign with your name. Munich splits arrivals between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and they are far enough apart that guessing is not an option — which is why we use your flight number to work out which one you will come out of, and your driver messages you the terminal and the exit when he is there.

Nothing changes for you. We track the flight number you give us from the moment it departs, and the pickup moves with the actual landing time, at no extra charge. On long-haul arrivals that is the normal case rather than the exception.

At the door of your accommodation. St. Christoph is a handful of buildings either side of the pass road, so every address is reachable by vehicle and nothing has to be explained about finding you. We are based seven kilometres below you in St. Anton, on the same road.

Yes. The vehicle runs for your group alone. Nobody else is collected on the way, there is no meeting point to find, and there is no stop between the terminal and your accommodation unless you ask for one.

Yes. On a drive of three hours that is a fair thing to want, and a stop you ask for is charged by the time it takes and quoted before we make it. A shared shuttle stops where its list says; a private transfer stops where you say.

Up to eight with luggage. Our fleet is Mercedes 4x4 minibuses and VW Caravelle 4x4 minibuses; for a larger group we send two vehicles to the same door at the same time, at the same price per vehicle.

Yes, free of charge. Skis and snowboards travel on the external rear rack and the rest of the luggage travels inside with you — on a drive this long that is the point, because eight people and eight ski bags fit in one vehicle instead of two. Tell us with the request how many ski bags and boot bags are coming.

Yes, free. Tell us the ages of the children when you book and the seats and boosters are fitted before the vehicle leaves for the airport.

The drive takes longer and the price does not change. Every vehicle we run is four-wheel drive, on winter tyres from November to April and carrying chains all season. This route has two mountain sections rather than one — the Fernpass near the start and the climb to 1,800 metres at the end — which is why experienced drivers matter more here than on a flat run.

St. Christoph has no railway station. The nearest is St. Anton am Arlberg, about 7 kilometres away and five hundred metres below, on the main line through the Arlberg — so a rail journey finishes with a road connection up the pass whatever else happens. There is no direct train from Munich Airport either, so it means connections at both ends.

It depends on what you do after you arrive. A rental car earns its keep if you plan to drive during the stay; if it would sit outside the hotel all week, a private transfer saves you three hours of winter driving across a border after a flight, two mountain sections, and the return of the car on the morning you fly home.

All five. Over the Fernpass, St. Anton is 230 km and St. Christoph 237; Stuben, Zürs and Lech are reached the other way, round the north of the Arlberg by way of Lindau, at 291, 296 and 304 kilometres. The five share one lift pass and around 300 kilometres of piste.

Yes, all year. Out of the ski season the same roads carry walkers and cyclists instead of skiers, and the Fernpass and the pass road are both at their best — then they are simply the finer way round rather than the part the weather can argue about.

By card or in cash, before or after the journey. We agree which when you book: we take no deposit and we store no card details.

Yes, and it costs the same in that direction. For a flight out of Munich we leave St. Christoph six hours before departure — the longest lead time of any airport we drive to — and we ring you the evening before to set the exact time. Say so with the request and both journeys come back in one quote.
