Private Taxi & Airport Transfers from Munich Airport to Stuben am Arlberg
Munich Airport (MUC) to Stuben am Arlberg is about 291 km by road and takes around 3 hours 5 minutes. A private transfer with Taxi Anton costs from €670 per vehicle, one way — not per person — for up to eight passengers with luggage and ski equipment.
It is the shortest of our five Munich routes, and the one with the simplest finish. We most often go by way of Lindau, out west to Lake Constance and through Vorarlberg — but there are three roads from Munich to the Arlberg, and we take whichever is quickest on the day. At Langen am Arlberg we leave the expressway, and then it is three kilometres up the L197. No Flexenstraße, no pass, no tunnel.
Airport transfers on this route are priced the same in both directions. The fare covers every toll, skis and snowboards, child seats, and a door to door drive that ends in front 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 pass. 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.
The last village before the climb
Stuben stands at 1,409 metres in the Klostertal, at the western foot of the pass. Everything else on the Arlberg is above it: Zürs and Lech only after Alpe Rauz on the Flexenstraße, St. Anton on the other side. Stuben needs no climb of its own — it sits where the climb begins, which is why this drive finishes earliest.
Two neighbouring villages, two completely different approaches
Stuben and St. Anton are fifteen kilometres apart, in the same ski area. From Munich Airport they are reached on two roads that never meet: St. Anton through Tyrol, by way of Kufstein and Innsbruck; Stuben out along Lake Constance and through Vorarlberg.
The village and the Albona
Stuben is the smallest of the five Arlberg ski resorts and one of the least changed — around a hundred people live there. The Albona above it is not a mountain for freshly groomed piste but one for the days after a snowfall. The valley station of the Albonabahn stands in the village, on the same road we arrive by, and since the Flexenbahn opened Stuben has been linked on skis directly with Zürs and Lech.
Ski transfers to Stuben
Most of our winter work is ski transfers. Skis and snowboards travel free on the rear rack, outside the cabin — eight people and eight ski bags fit in one vehicle instead of two. The five Arlberg resorts share one lift pass, some 300 kilometres of piste and 85 lifts; more is in our guide to skiing on the Arlberg.
How to Get from Munich Airport to Stuben am Arlberg
There are several ways to travel from Munich Airport to Stuben am Arlberg: a private transfer, train and bus connections, or a rental car.
Stuben is around 291 kilometres from Munich Airport by road, and a direct journey takes approximately 3 hours 5 minutes in normal conditions. Stuben has no railway station of its own, but Langen am Arlberg is only three kilometres down the hill — of all the Arlberg villages without a station, that is the best position to be in.
Private transfer from Munich Airport to Stuben
A private transfer is the most straightforward option if you want to travel directly from the airport to your accommodation. We meet you at Munich Airport, load your luggage and ski equipment, and drive straight through to Stuben. A private transfer from Munich Airport to Stuben costs from €670 per vehicle for up to eight passengers, and there are no train changes, no shared passengers and no scheduled stops at other resorts.
By train from Munich Airport to Stuben
Stuben has no railway station of its own, but the nearest one is only three kilometres away: Langen am Arlberg, down in the Klostertal. We say so openly even though it is the competition's argument — for one traveller with light luggage the train can genuinely work here. There is no direct train from Munich Airport, though, so it means connections at the start, and the last leg up from Langen is by bus or taxi.
By bus from Munich Airport to Stuben
There is no simple bus service running directly from Munich Airport to Stuben. Travelling by public transport normally means combining train and bus, with the final connection up from Langen am Arlberg. It can be a good option if price is the main consideration and your arrival time fits the timetable.
Rental car from Munich Airport to Stuben
Renting a car gives you the most independence during your stay. The drive takes around 3 hours 5 minutes, and one possible route — the one we take ourselves — runs via Memmingen, Lindau, Hörbranz, Bludenz and the Klostertal to Langen, then three kilometres up the L197. In winter those three kilometres carry snow and are steeper than a map suggests. In Stuben itself you will barely need the car: the village is small enough to cross on foot.
Which option makes sense for your trip?
For one passenger with light luggage and a connection that fits, the train is a serious option here — more serious than it is for Zürs or Lech. For travellers who want their own car throughout the holiday, a rental car gives the most flexibility. For a family or ski group with luggage, skis or snowboards, a private transfer removes the changes: we meet you at Munich Airport and drive you directly to your accommodation in Stuben.
The Munich Airport to Stuben am Arlberg Route
The journey begins on the Bavarian plain and ends at 1,409 metres — and it arrives from the north rather than from the east. The road we use most often never enters Tyrol.
Out to Lake Constance
From the airport the A96 runs west past Memmingen to Lindau on Lake Constance. It is the longest unbroken stretch of motorway on any route we drive, and it is comfortable at any hour of the day or night.
Across the border and down the Rhine valley
Shortly after Lindau the road crosses into Austria at Hörbranz. From there the A14 passes Bregenz through the Pfänder tunnel and runs down the Rhine valley through Dornbirn and Feldkirch to Bludenz.
Up the Klostertal
At Bludenz the route turns east onto the S16 and climbs the Klostertal, past Dalaas, Wald am Arlberg and Klösterle to Langen am Arlberg.
And then it is almost over
At Langen we leave the expressway, short of the tunnel mouth, and climb three kilometres of the L197. At 1,409 metres the drive ends in the middle of the village. That is the whole of the mountain part: neither the Arlberg tunnel nor the Arlbergpass nor the Flexenstraße is needed, and no tunnel toll arises at all.
Winter conditions on this road
Conditions change along the way rather than all at once: Munich can be dry while the Klostertal is already under snow. What separates this route from our others is the length of the finish — three kilometres rather than twenty. Stuben is the transfer where a bad night changes the arrival time least.
West, by way of Lindau
A96 · Memmingen · Lindau · Bregenz · Bludenz
border at Hörbranz
291 km · 3h 5min
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
245 km · 3h 15min
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
315 km · 3h 40min
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 Stuben am Arlberg. An agent cannot make that call: he is not the one driving.
Munich Airport to Stuben Transfer: Price, Distance & Journey Time
A private transfer from Munich Airport to Stuben am Arlberg costs from €670 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.
The Munich–Stuben fare is priced against the same list as every other route we drive. It is fixed before you book and does not move on the day: no night surcharge, no holiday surcharge, nothing added when snow makes the drive longer. Every fare is on the price list, and every route is on the airport transfer page.
For comparison from the same airport: at 291 km Stuben is the shortest of the five, Zürs follows at 296 km from €680, St. Anton at 298 km from €640 and Lech at 304 km from €690.

Germany into Austria: what the border means for your transfer
The border is crossed at Hörbranz, just past Lindau, about halfway into the drive. Germany and Austria 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 flew with should be somewhere you can reach it.
Everything else is our problem: the Austrian motorway vignette and the Pfänder tunnel toll are inside the fixed price. No Arlberg tunnel toll arises at all, because the drive turns off at Langen rather than entering the tunnel.
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 Munich terminal and your accommodation in Stuben.
Your Driver, from the Munich Terminal to the Door in Stuben
Your driver waits 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. Your flight number tells us which one you come out of, and your driver messages you the terminal and the exit as soon as he is there.
The same driver takes you the whole way. He loads the cases and the ski bags himself and is still with you when you arrive in Stuben — no handover halfway, no second vehicle. We track your flight from the moment it departs: if it lands late the pickup moves with it, at no extra charge.
Arriving with equipment
With skis, boot bags and cases, the door is the whole difference. Everything is loaded once in Munich and unloaded once outside your accommodation — nothing is moved in between. That is the whole service: one vehicle, one driver, one time.
In Stuben the address is almost a formality. Around a hundred people live here, the hotels stand on the one road through the village, and there is nothing a vehicle cannot reach. Transfers are available all year, on any day and at any hour.
Why Choose Taxi Anton for Munich to Stuben Transfers
Most companies selling this route sit neither in Munich nor on the Arlberg — they pass the job on. We drive every transfer ourselves, in our own vehicles and with our own drivers. Over 291 kilometres and two countries that is not a detail; it is the whole difference.
On a short mountain finish that counts as much as on a long one: the three kilometres of the L197 are steep, and in winter the vehicle decides. The same drivers run the transfers from Innsbruck, Zurich and Friedrichshafen.
And the arrangement is flexible where it counts: the pickup time follows your landing, a stop on the way is possible, and the driver knows on the morning what the road is doing. What we deliver is a smooth, well-managed journey — the vehicle, the pickup and the destination all settled before you land.
What you are buying is a reliable arrival: experienced drivers, a comfortable, winter-equipped vehicle that takes eight people and their equipment, a fixed price settled in advance, and a drive that runs door to door. Every route we run is on the transfers from the Arlberg page.
The vehicle for your Munich 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.
Two hundred and eighty-eight of these kilometres are motorway and expressway. The last three are the L197 up from Langen, and short as they are, they are the ones that decide the car: a steep village road at 1,409 metres that carries snow long after the valley is clear.
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.
Stuben am Arlberg from Munich, Innsbruck, Zurich & Friedrichshafen
Stuben is reached from six airports, and we drive from all of them. Munich is the furthest and at the same time the most international — which is why the question is never "which one is closest" but "which one does the flight I need actually go to".
Compare the two together: what is flying, when it lands, and the total travel time. A convenient flight into Munich plus a three-hour drive beats an awkward connection into Innsbruck — and the other way round just as often. Transfers from Munich also run to Zürs, Lech, St. Anton and St. Christoph.
| 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 Airport to Stuben | 155 km | 1h 50min | €420 |
| Zurich Airport to Stuben | 185 km | 2h | €460 |
| Munich (MUC) | 291 km | 3h 5min | €670 |
Return Transfer: Stuben am Arlberg to Munich Airport
A Stuben to Munich Airport transfer runs exactly as the way in does, in reverse: from the door of your accommodation to the terminal, at the same fixed price per vehicle.
For a flight from Munich we leave Stuben six hours before departure. That is the longest lead time of any airport we drive to, and it covers the 291 kilometres, the border and the time a large international airport needs, together. Tell us your flight number and we will give you the pickup time.
For comparison: for Innsbruck we leave three and a half hours before, for Friedrichshafen four and for Zurich four and a half. The times differ because the drives differ. The returns to the other airports: Stuben to Innsbruck Airport, Stuben to Friedrichshafen Airport and Stuben to Zurich Airport.
The way back starts with the three kilometres down to Langen and then takes the same road as the way in. It costs the same: from €670 per vehicle, tolls and ski equipment included. We collect you from your accommodation at any hour, including before daylight.
The whole return leg — pickup time, road, border and terminal — is set out on the Stuben to Munich Airport page.

Munich Airport to Stuben am Arlberg — Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a Munich Airport transfer to Stuben am Arlberg?
A private Munich–Stuben transfer costs from €670 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.
Is the €670 price per person or per vehicle?
The Munich Airport to Stuben transfer is priced per vehicle, not per person: €670 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.
How far is Stuben am Arlberg from Munich Airport?
Stuben am Arlberg is about 291 kilometres from Munich Airport by road, which makes Stuben the shortest of our five Munich transfers. The drive runs west along Lake Constance, crosses into Austria at Hörbranz, follows the Rhine valley to Bludenz and climbs the Klostertal to Langen am Arlberg.
How long does the Munich Airport to Stuben transfer take?
The Munich Airport to Stuben transfer takes around 3 hours 5 minutes. Almost all of it is motorway and expressway; only the last three kilometres are mountain road, which is the shortest final climb of any route we drive.
What makes Stuben the simplest of the Munich transfers?
Stuben is the simplest of the Munich transfers because of the finish. We leave the S16 at the Langen am Arlberg exit and climb three kilometres of the L197 into the village — that is the whole of the mountain part. No Flexenstraße, no pass, and no tunnel, which is why this drive holds its timing better than the others in bad weather.
Which road do you take from Munich Airport to Stuben?
From Munich Airport to Stuben 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 three kilometres of the L197 finish the job.
Does the Munich to Stuben transfer go through Tyrol?
No, the Munich to Stuben transfer does not go through Tyrol. Stuben 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 and Innsbruck — the same airport, two roads that never meet.
Does the route use the Arlberg road tunnel?
No, the route from Munich to Stuben does not use the Arlberg road tunnel. The transfer leaves the S16 at Langen am Arlberg, before the tunnel mouth, so no Arlberg tunnel toll arises at all. The Arlbergpass is not used either: Stuben sits below it, at the western foot.
Does the transfer use the Flexenstraße?
No, the transfer to Stuben does not use the Flexenstraße, which branches north at Alpe Rauz, above Stuben, towards Zürs and Lech. The drive to Stuben stops short of it — which is one reason this route is the least affected by weather of the five.
Does the transfer cross a border?
Yes, the Munich Airport to Stuben transfer crosses the German–Austrian border at Hörbranz, just past Lindau. Munich Airport is in Bavaria, in Germany, and Stuben 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.
Are tolls included?
Yes, all tolls are included on the Munich Airport to Stuben transfer. 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.
Is Munich the closest airport to Stuben?
No, Munich is not the closest airport to Stuben — it is the furthest of the six: 291 kilometres against 115 from Innsbruck. Beyond Lindau this drive is the same road we run from Friedrichshafen, which is only 125 kilometres from Stuben. 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.
Where will our driver meet us at Munich Airport?
Your driver meets you at Munich Airport 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.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
If your flight to Munich is delayed, 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.
Where exactly do you drop us off in Stuben?
We drop you off at the door of your accommodation in Stuben. Around a hundred people live in Stuben and the hotels stand on the one road through the village, so there is no address a vehicle cannot reach and nothing to explain about finding you.
Is the transfer private?
Yes, the Munich Airport to Stuben transfer is private: 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.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes, you can stop on the way from Munich Airport to Stuben. 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.
How many passengers can travel?
Up to eight passengers can travel in one vehicle, with their 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.
Can we bring skis and snowboards?
Yes, skis and snowboards travel free of charge on the Munich Airport to Stuben transfer. They go 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. The valley station of the Albonabahn stands in the village, on the same road we arrive by.
Are child seats available?
Yes, child seats are available free of charge on the Munich Airport to Stuben transfer. Tell us the ages of the children when you book and the seats and boosters are fitted before the vehicle leaves for the airport.
What happens in heavy snow?
In heavy snow the Munich to Stuben 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. The three kilometres of the L197 still carry snow and are steeper than a map suggests — but they are three kilometres, not twenty, which is why this route holds its timing best of the five.
Can we take the train from Munich Airport to Stuben?
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 even though it is the competition’s argument. There is no direct train from Munich Airport, so it still means connections at the start, and a rail journey still begins with a road connection and ends with one — but the last leg here is short.
Is a rental car a good option?
Whether a rental car is a good option for Stuben 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 and the return of the car on the morning you fly home. In Stuben itself you do not need one: the village is small enough to cross on foot.
Which other Arlberg resorts do you drive to from Munich?
From Munich we drive to all five Arlberg resorts — St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Zürs and Lech. Stuben is the closest of them to Munich by road and St. Christoph the furthest, because St. Anton and St. Christoph are reached through Tyrol while Stuben, Zürs and Lech are reached round the north side of the Arlberg. The five share one lift pass and around 300 kilometres of piste.
Do you drive Munich–Stuben in summer as well?
Yes, we drive Munich–Stuben all year, summer included. Out of the ski season the same roads carry walkers and cyclists instead of skiers, and it is the same drive at the same fixed price.
How do we pay?
You pay the driver for the Munich Airport to Stuben transfer, 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 Munich as well?
Yes, you can book the return to Munich Airport as well, and it costs the same in that direction. For a flight out of Munich we leave Stuben 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.
