Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport Transfers with Alpinum Taxi
A private Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport transfer with Alpinum Taxi covers 125 kilometres in about 1 hour 30 minutes and starts at €380 per vehicle for one to eight passengers, luggage and ski equipment included. It is the shortest of the five routes we drive to this airport, and the simplest: the mountain part of the Stuben to Friedrichshafen drive is three kilometres down the L197 to Langen, and everything after that is expressway and motorway.
The price starts at €380 per vehicle — the same fixed price as the other direction, for up to eight passengers with luggage, from your accommodation to the door of departures at Friedrichshafen Airport. Skis and snowboards travel free, and child seats are fitted at no extra charge. What every Stuben am Arlberg 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 Friedrichshafen Airport to Stuben am Arlberg transfer works the same way in reverse.
When Should You Leave Stuben am Arlberg for Friedrichshafen Airport?
Your transfer leaves four hours before your flight departs from Friedrichshafen. That is not the driving time — the journey itself takes about 1h 30min. The difference is the margin: the mountain stretch at the start, the border at Hörbranz, and check-in and security at Friedrichshafen Airport with ski luggage.
Of the five, this is the departure a bad night changes least. Three kilometres of mountain road is three kilometres, not twenty — so the Stuben to Friedrichshafen transfer holds its planned time better than the drives from Lech, Zürs or St. Christoph. The evening call still happens, because the Klostertal below can carry snow too.
For comparison: for a flight from Innsbruck we leave three and a half hours before departure, later than we leave for this one — over 115 kilometres rather than 125, and with no border on the way. For Zurich we leave earlier than for Friedrichshafen. The three times differ because the three drives differ.
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 mountain road 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.

Stuben to Friedrichshafen Airport Transfer: Price, Distance and Journey Time
A private transfer from Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport starts at €380 per vehicle for 125 km and about 1h 30min. 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. When comparing prices, check what a quoted figure covers: the vehicle you actually need, or the smallest car on the list.
The transfer back costs the same as the Friedrichshafen Airport to Stuben am Arlberg transfer. There is no night surcharge even when we are at your door at 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 vignette and the Pfänder tunnel, both inside the price; no Arlberg tunnel toll on this route
- Border — Austria into Germany, with no change of vehicle
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 and nothing added for the border.
Door-to-Door Pickup in Stuben 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.
Around a hundred people live in Stuben and the hotels stand on the one road through the village, so there is no address here a vehicle cannot reach. The driver comes to the door, loads the cases and the ski bags himself, and the Stuben to Friedrichshafen transfer starts at the entrance rather than at a meeting point.
Early transfers are normal for us. For one of the first flights out of Friedrichshafen that means a pickup at three 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.
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 Friedrichshafen Airport — a second hotel, a friend’s chalet, any accommodation in the village. Just tell us where you want to start.
The Route from Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport
The Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport route leaves the village on the L197 and drops three kilometres to Langen am Arlberg, where it joins the S16 short of the tunnel mouth — the Stuben to Friedrichshafen drive neither climbs the pass nor pays an Arlberg tunnel toll. From there the S16 runs down the Klostertal past Klösterle, Wald am Arlberg and Dalaas to Bludenz, becomes the A14 through the Rhine valley and Feldkirch, and passes Bregenz through the Pfänder tunnel. The border comes at Hörbranz, and the B31 finishes along the shore of Lake Constance to the airport.
The journey is direct: no other passengers, no second vehicle and no stop between your door and the hall. The hard part comes at the beginning rather than the end — once the mountain road is behind you, the rest is motorway all the way to the lake.
Two places on that road have pages of their own: Langen am Arlberg, three kilometres down the hill, where the S16 begins, and Klösterle, the next village down the Klostertal. We drive the same road from both.
Austria into Germany: what the border means on the way out
The border is crossed at Hörbranz, just before Lindau, about twenty minutes short of the airport. Austria and Germany are both in the Schengen area, so there is normally no check there. Temporary checks can be reintroduced, which is why the identity document you are flying with should be somewhere you can reach it rather than at the bottom of a case.
Everything else is our problem. The Austrian vignette and the Pfänder tunnel toll are inside the fixed price, and no Arlberg tunnel toll arises on this route at all. Nobody stops at a toll booth, and nobody adds anything up at the end of the journey.
In practice the border is a road sign and nothing more. You stay seated, the vehicle keeps going, and the luggage is not moved once between your accommodation and the departures hall. Anyone covering the same ground by train and bus changes vehicle several times in those hours — each time with a ski bag.
Innsbruck is the only one of the six airports we drive to with no border involved at all. Zurich lies in a third country, with a vignette of its own. Friedrichshafen sits between the two: one border, close to the end, with the airport immediately beyond it.
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.
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.
Stuben is the closest of the five to Friedrichshafen at 125 kilometres, which shows in the journey time rather than in the pickup hour: we still leave four hours before departure, because most of that time is the airport and not the road. The Stuben to Friedrichshafen transfer price is the same at three in the morning as at midday.
Friedrichshafen is a compact regional airport with a single terminal. We set you down directly in front of it; the walk from the vehicle to check-in is a short one, and there is no second terminal and no train between them. That is the difference from a large airport, and on the morning of a departure you notice it.
Checking in with ski luggage still takes longer than checking in without it: oversized bags go in separately. That is what the four hours are for — not the drive itself, which takes about 1h 30min.
Not everyone flies home from Friedrichshafen. If your flight out goes from Innsbruck instead, we set that pickup time the same way — the evening before, from the road and the forecast — just with a different lead time.
Transfers from Stuben am Arlberg to Other Airports
Not everyone flies home from Friedrichshafen. We run private airport transfers from Stuben am Arlberg 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, the border and the size of the airport, and the exact time comes in the call the day before.
| To airport | km | Time | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Altenrhein | 95 | 1h 10min | from €300 |
| Innsbruck | 115 | 1h 30min | from €250 |
| Memmingen | 155 | 1h 50min | from €420 |
| Zurich | 185 | 2h | from €460 |
| Munich | 291 | 3h 5min | from €670 |
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 Stuben am Arlberg to Altenrhein Airport transfer, and to the transfers to Memmingen Airport and Zurich Airport.
Train, Bus, Rental Car or Private Transfer to Friedrichshafen 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.
Stuben has the best train answer of any Arlberg village without a station of its own: Langen am Arlberg is three kilometres down the hill. We say so openly. A rail journey still begins with a road connection and still adds a change at the border, but the first leg here is short. With light luggage it is a sensible option; with a ski bag each, a private Stuben to Friedrichshafen transfer is one vehicle and no changes at all.
On this route there is also something the Innsbruck drive does not have: the border. By rail that usually means moving between two networks and two timetables; in the car it means a road sign. A rental car also has to be returned at the airport, which on departure day is one more task with a deadline attached.
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 Friedrichshafen Airport?
Most companies selling a transfer from Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport sit neither on the Arlberg nor on Lake Constance — 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 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: Lech, St. Anton am Arlberg, St. Christoph 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 — four 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. It is the question a departure actually turns on, and it is the one nobody else answers.
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. Tolls, the vignette and the border are inside it. Over 125 kilometres and two countries 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 Stuben am Arlberg 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 — not even at the border. Child seats and booster seats are free.
Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport Transfer — Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Friedrichshafen Airport from Stuben am Arlberg?
The road distance from Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport is about 125 kilometres — down the Klostertal, through the Rhine valley and across the border into Germany.
How long does the Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport transfer take?
About 1h 30min for the 125 kilometres. The pickup time does not follow the driving time alone, though — for a Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen transfer we leave four hours before departure.
How much is a transfer from Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport?
A private airport transfer from Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport costs from €380 per vehicle. The same fixed price covers the Friedrichshafen Airport to Stuben am Arlberg transfer in the other direction.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. €380 is the price of the car, whether two travel or six. Up to eight passengers with luggage is still one vehicle and one price. When comparing quotes, check what a figure covers — the vehicle you actually need, or the smallest car on the list.
What time do we leave Stuben am Arlberg for a 07:00 flight?
At 03:00. That is worked out at four hours before departure; the binding time comes in the call the day before.
And for an 11:00 flight?
We collect you at 07:00, and at 13:00 for a 17:00 flight. The table in when you should leave covers the usual departure times.
Who decides the exact pickup time?
We do, in the call on the day before you travel. The four hours are the starting point; the final time comes from the forecast for that morning and from what the mountain road is doing. You do not have to work anything out.
Why four hours and not three?
Because three things sit on top of the 1h 30min drive: the mountain stretch at the start, the border at Hörbranz, and checking in with ski luggage. For Innsbruck we leave later than this and for Zurich earlier — the lead time follows the route rather than a round number.
Do you drive in the middle of the night?
Yes, and with nothing added. For the first flights out of Friedrichshafen that means a pickup at 02:00. In the ski season it is routine.
What happens if it snows heavily overnight?
We leave earlier, and you hear about it the evening before rather than on the doorstep. The price does not change even when the drive takes longer.
Does this transfer cross a border?
Yes. Stuben am Arlberg is in Austria and Friedrichshafen Airport is in Germany, so the drive crosses at Hörbranz, just before Lindau and about twenty minutes short of the airport. Both countries are in the Schengen area, so there is normally no check.
Do we need our passports in the car?
Carry the identity document you are flying with somewhere you can reach it rather than at the bottom of a case. There is normally no routine check at this border, but temporary ones can be reintroduced.
Are tolls and the vignette included?
Yes, all of them. The Austrian vignette and the Pfänder tunnel toll are inside the fixed price, and no Arlberg tunnel toll arises on the Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen route at all.
Do we stop at the border?
No. You stay seated, the vehicle keeps going, and the luggage is not moved once between your accommodation and the departures hall.
How many passengers fit in one vehicle?
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.
Can we bring skis and snowboards?
Yes, free of charge. Skis and boards travel on the external 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 of the children when you book and the seats and boosters are fitted before we arrive.
Where do you collect us in Stuben am Arlberg?
At the door of your accommodation, not at a meeting point. The driver comes to the entrance, helps with the cases and the ski bags, and loads them himself.
Can we leave from a different address than the one we arrived at?
Yes. A second hotel, a friend’s chalet, any accommodation in the village — just say where you want to start when you send the request. The transfer in from Friedrichshafen Airport and the way back do not have to use the same address.
Where do you set us down at Friedrichshafen Airport?
Directly in front of the departures hall. Friedrichshafen is a compact regional airport with a single terminal — the walk from the vehicle to check-in is a short one, and there is no second terminal and no train between them.
Is the transfer private?
Yes. The vehicle runs for your group alone. Nobody else is collected on the way, there is no meeting point, no change of vehicle and no stop between your door and the hall.
Do you drive Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen in summer as well?
Yes, all year. It is the same road and the same price; in summer we carry walkers and cyclists rather than skiers.
How do we pay?
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.
Can we cancel at short notice?
Free of charge up to 24 hours before the pickup.
Can we take the train from Stuben am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport?
Stuben has the best train answer of any Arlberg village without a station of its own: Langen am Arlberg is three kilometres down the hill. On top of that, rail means moving between two national networks at the border — and every change is made carrying the ski bags yourself.
Do you drive to the other airports too?
Yes, to all six. From Stuben am Arlberg we drive to Innsbruck, Friedrichshafen, Altenrhein, Memmingen, Zurich and Munich, each at a fixed price per vehicle. The lead time differs because the drives differ.
