Munich Airport to Zürs Transfers From €680 per vehicle

A private Munich–Zürs transfer costs from €680 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. €680 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 296 kilometres by road, going west by way of Lindau. The drive runs out along Lake Constance, crosses into Austria at Hörbranz, follows the Rhine valley to Bludenz and climbs the Klostertal to Langen; from there it goes up past Stuben to Alpe Rauz and onto the Flexenstraße.

Around 3 hours 10 minutes. Most of it is motorway — the run out to Lake Constance is the longest unbroken stretch of motorway on any route we drive; what takes the time is the last hour, up the Klostertal and onto the Flexenstraße.

We go west, by way of Lindau. The A96 runs out to Lake Constance, the border is crossed at Hörbranz, and the A14 carries on down the Rhine valley to Bludenz; from there the S16 climbs the Klostertal to Langen, and the road goes up past Stuben to Alpe Rauz and onto the Flexenstraße. It is shorter and faster than going round through Tyrol.

No. Zürs is reached through Bavaria, Lake Constance and Vorarlberg, round the north side of the Arlberg. The Munich to St. Anton drive goes through Tyrol instead, by way of Kufstein, Innsbruck and Landeck — the same airport, two roads that never meet.

Neither. Coming from the west we leave the S16 at Langen, short of the tunnel mouth, and climb past Stuben to Alpe Rauz — reaching it from below rather than from above. No Arlberg tunnel toll arises on this route at all, and the pass road is never touched.

Yes. Zürs is the first village on the Flexenstraße, and Lech lies about eight kilometres further up the same road. Anyone driving to Lech passes through Zürs on the way; the reverse is not true, which is why the Zürs transfer is the shorter of the two.

Yes, and in winter it is the only road into Zürs. The Flexenstraße is the L198, cut into the rock face, running through galleries up from Alpe Rauz. When the avalanche commission closes it there is no detour: we then put you up in St. Anton, Stuben, Langen or Klösterle until it opens, usually the next morning.

Zürs stands at 1,717 metres and is the highest of the five Arlberg villages — about 270 metres above Lech and some 400 above St. Anton. That height is why it is among the most snow-sure addresses on the Arlberg, and also why the road up to it matters on a winter morning.

Yes, at Hörbranz, just past Lindau. Munich Airport is in Bavaria, in Germany, and Zürs am Arlberg is in Vorarlberg, in Austria. The crossing comes about halfway into the drive. 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.

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

No, and it is the furthest of the six: 296 kilometres against 115 from Innsbruck. Beyond Lindau this drive is the same road we run from Friedrichshafen, which is only 130 kilometres from Zürs. 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. Zürs is small and the hotels stand along the one road through it, so there is no address a vehicle cannot reach and nothing to explain about finding you.

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. On this route the part that counts is the Flexenstraße at the end, and that is the stretch our drivers cover every day through the season.

Zürs has no railway station, so a rail journey ends with a road connection up the Flexenstraße whatever else happens — and there is no direct train from Munich Airport either, so it means connections at both ends. The nearest stations are Langen am Arlberg and St. Anton am Arlberg, of which Langen is the closer to Zürs by road.

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, the Flexenstraße at the end of it, and the return of the car on the morning you fly home.

All five — St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Zürs and Lech. St. Anton is reached through Tyrol and Zürs round the north side of the Arlberg, so those two drives share almost no road at all. 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 Flexenstraße is at its best — then it is simply the finer way up 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 Zürs 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.
