Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport Transfers with Alpinum Taxi
A private Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport transfer with Alpinum Taxi covers 175 kilometres in about 2 hours and starts at €440 per vehicle for one to eight passengers, luggage and ski equipment included. Lech is the one departure of the five that begins by going up: the Flexenstraße climbs to Zürs and Alpe Rauz before anything descends at all.
The price starts at €440 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 Memmingen Airport. Skis and snowboards travel free, and child seats are fitted at no extra charge. What every Lech 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 Memmingen Airport to Lech am Arlberg transfer works the same way in reverse.
When Should You Leave Lech am Arlberg for Memmingen Airport?
Your transfer leaves four and a half hours before your flight departs from Memmingen. That is not the driving time — the journey itself takes about 2h. The difference is the margin: the mountain stretch at the start, the border at Hörbranz, and check-in and security at Memmingen Airport with ski luggage.
In winter the Flexenstraße is the only road out of Lech: the way north over Warth is closed for the season. There is no second route to fall back on, which is why the evening call matters more here than anywhere else we drive from. If the Flexen is being cleared, you hear about it the night before and the pickup moves — not on the doorstep with the cases already out.
For comparison: for a flight from Innsbruck we leave three and a half hours before departure, later than we leave for this one — over 122 kilometres rather than 175, and with no border on the way. For Zurich we leave earlier than for Memmingen. 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.

Lech to Memmingen Airport Transfer: Price, Distance and Journey Time
A private transfer from Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport starts at €440 per vehicle for 175 km and about 2h. 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 Memmingen Airport to Lech 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 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.
We collect from every part of Lech — Omesberg, Stubenbach, Zug — at the door. Oberlech is the one case that works differently: the terrace above the village is car-free in winter, so we meet you at the valley station, or drive up to the goods hall if your hotel has its own tunnel from it. Tell us the hotel name when you book and we will know which of the two applies, and how much time to allow for it.
Early transfers are normal for us. For one of the first flights out of Memmingen 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.
Door to door means every part of the village and not the centre only: we collect from Lech, Oberlech, Omesberg, Stubenbach and Zug, 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 Memmingen 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 Memmingen Airport
The Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport route climbs the Flexenstraße out of the valley through Zürs to Alpe Rauz, then drops past Stuben to Langen am Arlberg, where it joins the S16 without entering the Arlberg tunnel. The Klostertal runs down to Bludenz, the A14 follows the Rhine valley through Feldkirch and past Bregenz through the Pfänder tunnel, and the border comes at Hörbranz. At Lindau the road turns north-east onto the A96 for the last forty minutes to the airport — the one stretch that separates this drive from the one to Friedrichshafen.
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 main road and motorway. At Lindau this route parts company with the one to Friedrichshafen and turns north-east onto the A96.
Two places on that road have pages of their own: Zürs am Arlberg, the first village on the Flexen road, and Stuben am Arlberg, where the descent into the Klostertal begins. 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 and roughly halfway through the journey. 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. Memmingen 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.
Check the three-letter code on your boarding pass before the morning of the flight. Some airlines sell Memmingen as a Munich airport, and the two are a hundred and thirty kilometres apart — FMM is Memmingen, MUC is Munich. From Lech that is the difference between a 175-kilometre drive and a 304-kilometre one, and between four and a half hours of lead time and six.
Memmingen is a 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.
Check the three-letter code on your boarding pass first: FMM is Memmingen, MUC is Munich. Some airlines sell Memmingen as a Munich airport, but the two are more than a hundred kilometres apart — they are different drives with different pickup hours. On the morning of a departure that stops being a detail; the evening before, it is a ten-second question.
Checking in with ski luggage still takes longer than checking in without it: oversized bags go in separately. That is what the four and a half hours are for — not the drive itself, which takes about 2h.
Not everyone flies home from Memmingen. 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 Lech am Arlberg to Other Airports
Not everyone flies home from Memmingen. We run private airport transfers from Lech 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 | 118 | 1h 30min | from €300 |
| Innsbruck | 122 | 1h 35min | from €300 |
| 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 am Arlberg to Altenrhein Airport transfer, and to the transfers to Memmingen Airport and Zurich Airport.
Train, Bus, Rental Car or Private Transfer to Memmingen 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 station, and in winter no second road either. Whatever takes you to Memmingen begins on the Flexenstraße, and a rail journey adds changes and a border you cross on foot with your own bags. A private Lech to Memmingen transfer is one vehicle from the hotel door to the departures hall, with the ski bags outside on the rack and the price settled before you get in.
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. Our Lech am Arlberg guide goes through the other ways out of the valley.
Why Choose Alpinum Taxi for Your Transfer to Memmingen Airport?
Most companies selling a transfer from Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport sit neither on the Arlberg nor anywhere near the Allgäu — 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, 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 — four 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. 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 175 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 Lech 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.
Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport Transfer — Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Memmingen Airport from Lech am Arlberg?
The road distance from Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport is about 175 kilometres — down the Klostertal, through the Rhine valley, across the border into Germany and north-east on the A96 from Lindau.
How long does the Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport transfer take?
About 2h for the 175 kilometres. The pickup time does not follow the driving time alone, though — for a Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen transfer we leave four and a half hours before departure.
How much is a transfer from Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport?
A private airport transfer from Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport costs from €440 per vehicle. The same fixed price covers the Memmingen Airport to Lech am Arlberg transfer in the other direction.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. €440 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.
Our ticket says Munich — which airport do they mean?
Check the three-letter code on the boarding pass: FMM is Memmingen, MUC is Munich. Some airlines sell Memmingen as a Munich airport, but the two are more than a hundred kilometres apart. From Lech am Arlberg it is 175 kilometres to Memmingen and 304 to Munich — and four and a half hours of lead time instead of six hours. It is worth settling before the morning of the flight rather than on it.
What time do we leave Lech am Arlberg for a 07:00 flight?
At 02:30. That is worked out at four and a half hours before departure; the binding time comes in the call the day before.
And for an 11:00 flight?
We collect you at 06:30, and at 12:30 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 and a half 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 and a half hours and not four?
Because the drive is half an hour longer than the one to Friedrichshafen: 175 kilometres against 138. The lead time follows the route rather than a round number — Innsbruck is three hours, Friedrichshafen four, Zurich five and Munich six.
Do you drive in the middle of the night?
Yes, and with nothing added. For the first flights out of Memmingen that means a pickup at 01:30. 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. Lech am Arlberg is in Austria and Memmingen Airport is in Germany, so the drive crosses at Hörbranz, just before Lindau and roughly halfway through the journey. 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 Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen 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.
Where does this drive differ from the one to Friedrichshafen?
In exactly one place: Lindau. Up to there it is the same road, kilometre for kilometre — the same Klostertal, the same A14, the same Pfänder tunnel, the same border at Hörbranz. At Lindau the Friedrichshafen drive carries on along the lake and this one turns north-east onto the A96. That is the 37 kilometres of difference, and because they are motorway throughout they cost only about twenty minutes.
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 Lech am Arlberg?
At the door of your accommodation, not at a meeting point — in Lech am Arlberg itself and in Oberlech, Omesberg, Stubenbach or Zug. The driver comes to the entrance and loads the cases and the ski bags 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 Memmingen Airport and the way back do not have to use the same address.
Where do you set us down at Memmingen Airport?
Directly in front of the departures hall. Memmingen has 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 Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen 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 Lech am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport?
Lech has no station, and in winter no second road either. 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 Lech 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.
