Lech am Arlberg to Munich Airport Transfers with Alpinum Taxi
A private Lech am Arlberg to Munich Airport transfer with Alpinum Taxi covers about 304 kilometres in around 3 hours 15 minutes and starts at €690 per vehicle for one to eight passengers, luggage and ski equipment included. It is the longest of the five drives we make to Munich, and it begins on the Flexenstraße — the only road out of Lech in winter.
The price starts at €690 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 Munich 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 Munich Airport to Lech transfer works the same way in reverse.
When Should You Leave Lech am Arlberg for Munich Airport?
Your transfer leaves six hours before your flight departs from Munich. That is not the driving time — the journey itself takes about 3h 15min. The difference is the margin: the mountain stretch at the start, the border, and check-in and security at a large international airport with ski luggage. Munich Airport has two terminals — which is another reason we allow more here than anywhere else.
The Flexenstraße is the part of this drive that a morning can change. It is a mountain road that is cleared through the season rather than simply open, and when the avalanche commission shuts it there is no detour — the second road into Lech, up the Lech valley through Warth, is closed all winter. That is why the call comes the evening before, and why six hours is the rule here.
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 304, and with no border on the way. For Zurich we leave earlier than for München. 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 Munich Airport Transfer: Price, Distance and Journey Time
A private transfer from Lech am Arlberg to Munich Airport starts at €690 per vehicle for 304 km and about 3h 15min. 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 Munich Airport to Lech 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, the German motorway and any tunnel toll on the road we take — all inside the price
- Border — Austria into Germany, with no change of vehicle
- Terminal — T1 or T2, worked out from your flight number
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.
In Lech the pickup address decides the first ten minutes. We collect in Lech itself and in Omesberg, Stubenbach and Zug, and from Oberlech — where, outside the hours the road is open to traffic, luggage and guests come down by gondola, which is included in the lift pass. Tell us where you are staying and we will tell you how that part works on the morning you leave.
Early transfers are normal for us. For one of the first flights out of München 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, 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 Munich 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 Munich Airport
The Lech am Arlberg to Munich Airport drive starts on the Flexenstraße, the L198, which runs down through the galleries past Zürs to the junction at Alpe Rauz. From there it continues past Stuben am Arlberg to Langen, joins the S16 short of the tunnel mouth and follows the Klostertal down to Bludenz. The A14 then runs down the Rhine valley through Feldkirch and past Bregenz, the border comes at Hörbranz, and the A96 carries on east past Lindau and Memmingen 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. Which of the three roads we take after that is the driver's call on the morning.
Two places on that road have pages of their own: Zürs am Arlberg, the first village on the way down the Flexen road, and Stuben am Arlberg, where the descent into the Klostertal begins. We drive the same road from both.
West, by way of Lindau
A96 · Memmingen · Lindau · Bregenz · Bludenz
border at Hörbranz
305 km · 3h 15min
Motorway nearly all the way, and usually the quickest. The only one of the three that never enters Tyrol.
Middle, over the Fernpass
A95 · Garmisch-Partenkirchen · Fernpass · Imst
border at Ehrwald
252 km · 3h 20min
The shortest in kilometres — and often still not the quickest, because it is a real pass road.
East, by way of Kufstein
A8 · Rosenheim · Kufstein · Inn valley · Innsbruck
border at Kufstein
320 km · 3h 45min
The longest, but motorway as far as Landeck — and it passes Innsbruck Airport on the way.
The driver decides on the morning, from the weather and the road — and it makes no difference to the fixed price to Lech am Arlberg. An agent cannot make that call: he is not the one driving.
Austria into Germany: what the border means on the way out
Where the border is crossed depends on the road: at Hörbranz going west, at Ehrwald over the Fernpass, at Kufstein going east. Whichever it is, it is crossed exactly once. 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 is inside the fixed price on all three roads, and so is the Pfänder tunnel toll on the days we go west. 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. Munich means one border — just not always the same one, because there are three roads to 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.
Tell us the flight number and not just the time. Munich splits departures between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and they are far enough apart that arriving at the wrong one with eight people and eight ski bags costs real time. The flight number tells us which door to stop at, and we set you down in front of it.
Munich has two departure terminals, and which one is yours depends on the airline. That is why we ask for the flight number and not only the time: with it we know which door to stop at. Getting out at the wrong terminal with eight people and eight ski bags costs real time — and it is the kind of time nobody has budgeted for.
Checking in with ski luggage still takes longer than checking in without it: oversized bags go in separately. That is what the six hours are for — not the drive itself, which takes about 3h 15min.
Not everyone flies home from Munich. 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 Munich. 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, 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 |
| Friedrichshafen | 138 | 1h 40min | from €400 |
| Memmingen | 175 | 2h | from €440 |
| Zurich | 200 | 2h 20min | from €460 |
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 Munich 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 of its own, so a rail journey from here begins with a road connection down to Langen or St. Anton and only then becomes a train — with the change at the border on top of it, and no direct train from either station to Munich Airport. For a family with a ski bag each, a private Lech to Munich transfer is one vehicle from the hotel door to the terminal, and the luggage is handled twice rather than six times.
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 Munich Airport?
Most companies selling a transfer from Lech am Arlberg to Munich Airport sit neither on the Arlberg nor anywhere near Munich — 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: 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 — six 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 304 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 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 Munich Airport Transfer — Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Munich Airport from Lech am Arlberg?
The road distance from Lech am Arlberg to Munich Airport is about 304 kilometres. Munich is the furthest of the six airports we drive to — and at the same time the most international.
How long does the Lech to Munich Airport transfer take?
About 3h 15min for the 304 kilometres. The pickup time does not follow the driving time alone, though — for a Lech to Munich transfer we leave six hours before departure.
How much is a transfer from Lech to Munich Airport?
A private airport transfer from Lech am Arlberg to Munich Airport costs from €690 per vehicle. The same fixed price covers the Munich Airport to Lech transfer in the other direction.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. €690 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 01:00. That is worked out at six hours before departure; the binding time comes in the call the day before.
And for an 11:00 flight?
We collect you at 05:00, and at 11:00 for a 17:00 flight. The table in when you should leave covers the usual departure times.
Why six hours, when the drive is only half that?
Because three things sit on top of the 3h 15min drive: the mountain stretch at the start, the border, and the margin a large international airport needs when you are checking in ski luggage. For Innsbruck we leave three hours before, for Friedrichshafen four, for Zurich five. The lead time follows the route and the airport rather than a round number.
Who decides the exact pickup time?
We do, in the call on the day before you travel. The six 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.
Do you drive in the middle of the night?
Yes, and with nothing added. For the first flights out of Munich that means a pickup at 00:00. In the ski season it is routine.
Do you need our flight number, or is the time enough?
The flight number, please. Munich has two terminals, and which one is yours depends on the airline. With the flight number we know which door to stop at — standing at the wrong terminal with eight people and eight ski bags costs real time.
Do you set us down at the terminal itself?
Yes, in front of the departures level of the right terminal. Your driver unloads the cases and the ski bags; in between, the luggage is not moved once.
Which road do you take to Munich Airport?
There are three — west by way of Lindau and Lake Constance, through the middle over the Fernpass, or east by way of Kufstein and the Inn valley. Which one we take is the driver’s call on the morning, from the state of the road. It makes no difference to the fixed price.
Does this transfer cross a border?
Yes. Lech am Arlberg is in Austria and Munich Airport is in Germany, so depending on the road the crossing comes at Hörbranz, at Ehrwald or at Kufstein. 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, but temporary ones can be reintroduced.
Are tolls and the vignette included?
Yes, all of them. The Austrian vignette is inside the fixed price, and so is the Pfänder tunnel toll on the days we take the western road. Nobody stops at a toll booth.
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.
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?
At the door of your accommodation, not at a meeting point — in Lech itself and in Omesberg, Stubenbach, Zug or Oberlech. 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 Munich Airport and the way back do not have to use the same address.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. On a drive this long that is a fair thing to want. A stop you ask for is charged by the time it takes and quoted before we make it — it just has to fit inside the six hours, and we settle that in the call the day before.
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 terminal.
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 to Munich Airport?
Lech has no railway station of its own, so a rail journey from here begins with a road connection down to Langen or St. There is no direct train to Munich Airport in any case — it means connections at both ends, each one 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.
