Private Taxi & Airport Transfers from Memmingen Airport to Stuben am Arlberg
Memmingen Airport to Stuben am Arlberg is about 155 km by road and takes around 1 hour 50 minutes. A private transfer with Taxi Anton costs from €420 per vehicle, one way — not per person — for up to eight passengers with luggage and ski equipment.
Airport transfers on this route are priced the same in both directions, and the price covers every toll, skis and snowboards, child seats, and the drive to the door of your accommodation. You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup.
Taxi Anton is a taxi company based in St. Anton am Arlberg, on the other side of the mountain. We do not pass work on to anyone: the cars are our own — Mercedes Minibus 4x4 and VW Caravelle Minibus 4x4 — and so are the drivers, experienced local drivers who know these roads.
If your ticket says Munich
Some airlines sell Memmingen as a Munich airport — but it is a separate airport in the Allgäu, well over a hundred kilometres from Munich. For getting to the Arlberg that is good news: Memmingen is 155 kilometres from Stuben, Munich Airport is 291. Check the three-letter code on your booking — FMM is Memmingen, MUC is Munich. If you are landing at Memmingen, this is the right page.
Why the longer drive is barely longer
Friedrichshafen is 125 kilometres; Memmingen is 155. 30 kilometres more, but only about twenty minutes: the A96 begins effectively at the airport gate and runs unbroken to Lindau. From there it is the same road as the drive from Friedrichshafen, kilometre for kilometre, all the way up to Stuben.
Which resort the transfer serves
Stuben is the smallest of the five Arlberg villages and the closest one to Memmingen: 155 kilometres, against 170 for St. Anton and 175 for Lech. It sits at the foot of the Arlberg on the Vorarlberg side, at the point where the Klostertal ends and the road begins to climb towards Alpe Rauz.
It is also the simplest arrival of the five. No tunnel and no pass: the S16 is left at Langen am Arlberg, and three kilometres up the L197 the village begins. Stuben belongs to Ski Arlberg along with St. Anton, St. Christoph, Zürs and Lech, so one lift pass covers all of them wherever you sleep.
Skiing here runs from early December to late April. What the skiing means for the journey in is in our guide to skiing on the Arlberg, and the rest is in what you need to know about the Arlberg.
Winter and summer transfers
Most of our Memmingen transfers run in winter, when the resort is full and the skiing is on. Summer transfers are quieter, but it is the same road and the same price, and the same private transfers carry walkers and cyclists in July that carry skiers in February.
What a ski transfer carries
A ski transfer is not simply a taxi with skis in it. The rear ski rack takes skis and boards outside the cabin, so eight people and eight ski bags travel in one vehicle instead of two. If you are collecting hired equipment on the way, tell us and we will stop at the ski shop in the resort before your accommodation. What to bring and what travels free is set out on the luggage page.
Most of our winter work is ski transfers. From Memmingen we drive to all five Arlberg villages: St. Anton, St. Christoph, Zürs and Lech — around 300 kilometres of piste and 85 lifts, on one pass.
Memmingen Airport to Stuben Transfer: Price, Distance & Journey Time
A private transfer from Memmingen Airport to Stuben am Arlberg costs from €420 per vehicle, one way. The price is for the vehicle and not per person: two of you or eight of you, the figure is the same — in December as in July.
It is fixed before you book and does not move on the day — not for a pickup in the middle of the night, not on a holiday, and not when snow makes the drive longer. Every fare is on the price list, and every route is on the airport transfer page.
No Arlberg tunnel toll arises on this route at all: the drive to Stuben leaves the S16 at Langen and never enters the tunnel. What is included is the Austrian vignette and the Pfänder tunnel.
If you are comparing quotes, look at what a figure covers. Some operators advertise a low entry price for the smallest vehicle on their list — three passengers, no skis. Our €420 is the price of a vehicle that takes eight people with ski equipment.

The Memmingen Airport to Stuben am Arlberg Route
The drive begins in the Allgäu and ends at 1,409 m. Allgäu Airport Memmingen sits immediately on the A96, so the motorway begins where the luggage goes in — south-west past Leutkirch im Allgäu and Wangen to Lindau.
At Lindau this route meets the one from Friedrichshafen, and from there on it is the same road. A few minutes later, at Hörbranz, it crosses into Austria. From the border the A14 runs through the Pfänder tunnel past Bregenz, then down the Rhine valley through Feldkirch to Bludenz.
At Bludenz the route turns east onto the S16 and climbs into the Klostertal, past Wald am Arlberg and Klösterle to Langen am Arlberg.
At Langen am Arlberg the transfer leaves the S16 before the tunnel portal. That is the whole difference between this drive and the one to St. Anton: our St. Anton transfers stay on the S16 and go through the fourteen-kilometre Arlberg road tunnel, and pay its toll. The drive to Stuben never enters it.
What follows is three kilometres of the L197, climbing from the valley floor to 1,409 metres. It is the shortest final stretch of the five — shorter than the climb to Zürs, shorter than the pass road to St. Christoph, and far shorter than the run through to Lech.
No mountain pass is crossed at any point. The road to Stuben climbs and stops; it does not go over anything.
Winter conditions on this road
The first hundred and thirty kilometres are motorway and the last three are a mountain road. That is the whole of the winter question on this route, and it is a short question: three kilometres of cleared L197 between the valley and the village. The Klostertal below it is a main road, driven all winter and cleared early.
Germany into Austria: what the border means for your transfer
The border is crossed at Hörbranz, just past Lindau, roughly halfway through the journey. Germany and Austria are both in the Schengen area, so there is normally no check there. Temporary checks can be reintroduced, which is why you should carry the identity document you flew with and keep it where you can reach it.
Everything else is our problem. The Austrian motorway vignette and the toll for the Pfänder tunnel are inside the fixed price. Nothing is collected from you in the car, and you do not stop at a toll booth with your wallet out.
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 the arrivals hall and your accommodation. Anyone covering the same ground by train and bus changes vehicle several times in those hours — each time with a ski bag.
Two of our six airports are in Germany, Memmingen and Friedrichshafen, and both cross the same border at the same place. Innsbruck is the only one with no border at all; Zurich lies in a third country, with a vignette of its own.
Where the transfer ends in Stuben
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall at Memmingen, holding a sign with your name on it. It is a regional airport with a single terminal and the car parks directly in front of it — a few steps from the door to the vehicle, and a few hundred metres later the vehicle is on the A96.
We track the flight number you give us when booking. If the flight lands late the pickup moves with it, at no extra charge and without you having to do anything. Late arrivals are nothing unusual on this route, and we drive them at any hour.
We stop in front of your accommodation. Stuben is small enough that every house is on the village road, and there are no closed streets to work around — the vehicle reaches the door, whichever end of the village it stands at.
That is not true of every Arlberg village, and it is worth knowing when you compare them: in Lech there is Oberlech above the village, reached by gondola in winter, and in Zürs the road itself is the only way in and out. Stuben asks nothing of the kind.
Arriving in Stuben from Memmingen Airport: Where We Set You Down
Memmingen Airport to Stuben: 155 km, about 1 hour 50 minutes, from €420 per vehicle, one way. The car for Stuben leaves Memmingen's one terminal on the A96 to Lindau, crosses into Austria at Hörbranz, goes through the Pfänder tunnel and finishes on the L197 from Langen; the next stop is your door in Stuben.
In a village of about a hundred people, the car coming from Memmingen reaches every address; there is no meeting point on the main road and no lane we may not use. We set guests down regularly at Hotel Mondschein and Chalet Mondschein, at the Après Post Hotel, the Wohlfühlhotel Hubertushof, Hotel Berghaus Stuben and Chalet Rosa.
From Langen am Arlberg, where the transfer leaves the S16 and the nearest station stands, the L197 climbs three kilometres to Stuben at 1,409 metres. No Flexen pass, fewer closures than higher up — and still snow enough on this side of the Arlberg that we come in a 4x4.
Going home from Stuben works the same way in reverse: the Stuben to Memmingen Airport transfer collects you from the same door in Stuben, four and a half hours before your flight — for an 11:00 departure, at 06:30.
Why Choose Taxi Anton for Memmingen to Stuben Transfers
Most companies selling this route sit neither in the Allgäu nor on the Arlberg — they pass the job on. We drive every transfer ourselves, in our own vehicles and with our own drivers.
The last three kilometres are the reason the vehicles are what they are. Anyone can drive the A96 and the A14; the L197 up to 1,409 metres in February is a different job, and it is the one we do every day of the winter.
And the price is settled beforehand. Over 155 kilometres and across a border, that is not a detail: you know the figure before you get in, and it covers everything — vignette, Pfänder tunnel, skis and child seats.
What you are buying is a reliable arrival: experienced drivers who are on these roads every day of the winter, a comfortable vehicle that takes eight people and their equipment, and a drive that runs door to door. The same drivers run the transfers from Innsbruck and Zurich — one company and one fleet, a different road.
The vehicle for your Memmingen to Stuben transfer
Picked up at the airport
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall and walks you to the vehicle.
Ski bag on the rear rack
Outside the cabin — nobody spends the drive with a ski bag on their knees.
Chains on when the road needs them
Our drivers carry chains all season and fit them themselves.
To the hotel door
We stop in front of your accommodation, not at a drop-off point.
A hundred and fifty-five kilometres, of which all but three are motorway or main road. The car is chosen for those three: the L197 climbing out of the Klostertal to 1,409 metres, and a ski group that has to travel as one vehicle rather than two.
VW Caravelle T6.1 — Long — 4x4
- Up to 8 passengers
- AWD (4MOTION)
- Rear ski rack, outside the cabin
- Child seats on request, no extra charge
Mercedes Minibus 4x4
- Max. 6 passengers
- AWD (4MATIC)
- Rear ski rack, outside the cabin
- Child seats on request, no extra charge
Skis, snowboards and luggage
Skis and snowboards travel on the rear-door ski rack, outside the cabin — nobody spends the drive with a ski bag across their knees. Ski carriage is free: we charge no equipment supplement the way a shared shuttle does. Boot bags, helmets and suitcases go inside with the rest of the luggage.
Both vehicles: 4x4, winter tyres from November to April, snow chains on board.
Both vehicles are four-wheel drive on winter tyres, with chains on board through the season, and skis travel outside on the rear rack. Up to eight passengers with cases, at one price for the vehicle.
Getting from Memmingen Airport to Stuben: Transfer, Train, Bus or Rental Car?
There are four realistic options for getting from Memmingen Airport to Stuben, and which of them is the affordable one depends entirely on how many of you are travelling.
Stuben has no railway station. The nearest one is Langen am Arlberg, at the bottom of the climb, and from there you still need a road vehicle for the last three kilometres. That makes the train a two-part journey rather than an alternative, and the part it cannot do is the part with the luggage in it.
With hand baggage and two of you, the train as far as Langen am Arlberg can still be a sensible journey. With a ski bag and a boot bag each, the changes are what decide it — every one of them means lifting everything again, and the last stretch of mountain road is still there at the end.
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 the winter driving across a border, the equipment in the boot, and the return of the car on the morning of the flight home.
The bus has the most changes on this route and the tightest timetable. It can be cheap; it is never direct.
The four options, side by side
Of the four options, the private transfer is the only one with no change of vehicle: one car, one price, your door. The bus is the cheapest option and the slowest. A rental car pays off only if you intend to drive during the stay rather than park for a week. And the train ends at Langen am Arlberg, not in Stuben.
Ski groups rarely find the comparison close. Four people travelling with skis pay one fare between them for a private transfer, and every other option charges each of them separately and asks them to carry the equipment between vehicles.
Stuben am Arlberg from Memmingen, Friedrichshafen, Innsbruck & Zurich
Stuben am Arlberg is reached from six airports, and we drive from all of them. Memmingen sits in the middle of the field: closer than Zurich and Munich, further than Innsbruck, Altenrhein and Friedrichshafen.
Distance alone rarely settles it, though. A direct flight at the right hour from Memmingen is worth more than a shorter drive from an airport you have to connect through, and the drive is a convenient one either way: mostly motorway, one border, and the mountain road only at the end.
The comparison worth making is with Munich. Anyone who bought the ticket as a Munich flight but is landing at Memmingen saves 136 kilometres of road.
We drive private transfers from Memmingen to the other four resorts as well — St. Anton, St. Christoph, Zürs and Lech — and the same vehicles work as a local taxi and a train station taxi once you are here.
| From airport | km | Journey time | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Innsbruck Airport to Stuben | 115 km | 1h 30min | €250 |
| Altenrhein Airport to Stuben | 95 km | 1h 10min | €300 |
| Friedrichshafen Airport to Stuben | 125 km | 1h 30min | €380 |
| Memmingen (FMM) | 155 km | 1h 50min | €420 |
| Zurich Airport to Stuben | 185 km | 2h | €460 |
| Munich Airport to Stuben | 291 km | 3h 5min | €670 |
Return Transfer: Stuben am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport
For a flight from Memmingen we leave Stuben four and a half hours before departure. That covers the 155-kilometre drive, the border and the time you need at the airport, all together. There is nothing to add on top — tell us your flight number and we will give you the pickup time.
Half an hour more than for Friedrichshafen, because the drive is half an hour longer. For Innsbruck it is three hours, for Zurich five and for Munich six.
The return costs the same as the way in: from €420 per vehicle, tolls and ski equipment included. We collect you from your accommodation at any hour, including before daylight. Booking the return at the same time as the arrival is the convenient way to do it: one message, one fixed price, both directions.
The whole return leg — pickup time, road, border and terminal — is set out on the Stuben to Memmingen Airport page.

Memmingen Airport to Stuben am Arlberg — Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a Memmingen Airport transfer to Stuben am Arlberg?
A private Memmingen Airport transfer to Stuben am Arlberg costs from €420 per vehicle, one way. The price is fixed when you book and covers all tolls, skis and snowboards, child seats and the drive to the door of your accommodation.
Is the €420 price per person or per vehicle?
The Memmingen transfer price is per vehicle, not per person: €420 is the price of the car, not of a seat in it, and it does not change between two passengers and eight. For a family or a ski group that is the whole difference against a shared shuttle, where every passenger pays separately.
My ticket says Munich — am I on the right page?
If you are landing at Memmingen, yes, you are on the right page, even if your ticket says Munich. Some airlines sell Memmingen as a Munich airport, but it is a separate airport in the Allgäu, well over a hundred kilometres from Munich, and it is much closer to the Arlberg: 155 kilometres to Stuben am Arlberg against 291 from Munich Airport. Check the three-letter code on the booking — FMM is Memmingen, MUC is Munich.
How far is Stuben am Arlberg from Memmingen Airport?
Stuben am Arlberg is about 155 kilometres by road from Memmingen Airport, ending at 1,409 m. The A96 runs south-west from the airport to Lindau, crosses into Austria at Hörbranz, follows the Rhine valley south through Feldkirch to Bludenz, and then turns east onto the S16 into the Klostertal.
How long does the Memmingen to Stuben transfer take?
The Memmingen to Stuben transfer takes around 1 hour 50 minutes for the 155 kilometres. From Friedrichshafen it is 125 kilometres and 1 hour 30 minutes — 30 kilometres less and only about twenty minutes quicker. The extra distance from Memmingen is motorway throughout, from the airport gate to Lindau.
Is Memmingen or Friedrichshafen the better airport for Stuben?
Friedrichshafen is closer to Stuben than Memmingen — 125 kilometres against 155 — and the transfer is from €380 against €420. From Lindau onwards the two drives are the same road, so the difference is only the first stretch. Which one suits you is decided by the flight rather than by the drive: we drive private transfers from both.
Does the drive cross a border?
Yes, the drive from Memmingen to Stuben am Arlberg crosses a border once. Memmingen Airport is in Germany and Stuben am Arlberg is in Austria, and the border is crossed at Hörbranz, just past Lindau, roughly halfway through the journey. Germany and Austria are both in the Schengen area, so there is normally no check there.
What documents do we need for the border?
For the border, carry the identity document you flew with and keep it somewhere you can reach it rather than at the bottom of a case. There is normally no check at Hörbranz, but temporary checks can be reintroduced at any internal Schengen border.
Are the tolls included in the price?
Yes, the tolls are included in the price: the Austrian motorway vignette and the Pfänder tunnel toll are inside the €420. No Arlberg tunnel toll arises on this route at all, because the drive to Stuben am Arlberg leaves the S16 at Langen and does not use the tunnel. Nothing is collected from you in the car.
Does the transfer go through the Arlberg tunnel?
No, the transfer to Stuben am Arlberg does not go through the Arlberg tunnel. At Langen am Arlberg the drive leaves the S16 before the tunnel portal and takes the mountain road to Stuben am Arlberg. Only our St. Anton transfers go through the tunnel, and only there does the toll arise.
Is a mountain pass crossed on the way?
No, no mountain pass is crossed on the way to Stuben. The road to Stuben climbs three kilometres from Langen and stops there; it does not go over anything. It is the simplest arrival of the five Arlberg villages.
Where does the driver meet us at Memmingen Airport?
The driver meets you at Memmingen Airport in the arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name on it. Memmingen is a single-terminal airport and the car parks are directly in front of it, so it is a short walk from the door to the vehicle — there is nobody to ring and no meeting point to find.
What happens if our flight is late?
If your flight is late, the pickup moves with it at no extra charge: we track the flight number you give us when booking. You do not need to call or rebook. Late evening arrivals are normal on this route and we drive them at any hour.
Where exactly does the drive end in Stuben?
In Stuben the drive ends in front of your accommodation. The village has no closed streets and the vehicle reaches every house in the village — there is nothing left to carry at the end.
How many passengers and how much luggage fit?
Up to eight passengers with luggage fit in one vehicle, at one price. Skis and snowboards travel free on the external rear rack, outside the cabin, so eight people and eight ski bags go in one vehicle rather than two.
Are the vehicles suitable for winter roads?
Yes, the vehicles are suitable for winter roads: every one is four-wheel drive on winter tyres, with chains on board through the season: Mercedes Minibus 4x4 and VW Caravelle Minibus 4x4. Most of the route is motorway, but the last stretch up to 1,409 m is a mountain road in winter, and that is what the vehicles are chosen for.
Do you charge extra for skis, snowboards or child seats?
No, we do not charge extra for skis, snowboards or child seats. Skis and snowboards travel free on the rear rack and child seats and boosters are fitted free — just tell us the ages when you book.
Do you drive at night and on holidays?
Yes, we drive at night and on holidays, at any hour and on any date, at the same fixed price. A pickup at two in the morning on the 25th of December costs what the same journey costs at noon in July.
Can you stop at a ski rental shop on the way?
Yes, we stop at the ski shop in the resort before your accommodation if you tell us when you book, so the equipment is fitted before you arrive rather than the next morning.
Can we take the train from Memmingen Airport to Stuben?
Stuben has no railway station. The nearest is Langen am Arlberg, and the last stretch has to be driven in any case. The train covers the easy part of the journey and stops where the hard part begins — with a ski bag and a boot bag each, the changes are what decide it.
Is a rental car a good alternative?
Whether a rental car is a good alternative 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 the winter driving across a border, the equipment in the boot, and the return of the car on the morning of the flight home.
How do we pay?
You pay the driver directly, by card or in cash. The price is fixed per vehicle and confirmed when you book, so you know the full amount before the journey starts.
Can we book the return to Memmingen as well?
Yes, you can book the return to Memmingen as well, and it costs the same in that direction: from €420 per vehicle. For a flight out of Memmingen we leave Stuben four and a half hours before departure, 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.
