Ski taxi in St. Anton: from your door to the lift
Your ski taxi on the Arlberg — quick to the slopes in the morning, safely back in the evening. Taxi Anton takes you from your accommodation straight to the Galzig, Rendl or Nasserein gondola in St. Anton and to the road-accessible base stations right across the Arlberg. With ski and snowboard racks as standard, so you reach first lifts on time.
As local drivers since 1998, we know every base station, access road and street on the Arlberg — in snowfall and early in the morning too. We drive winter-equipped 4x4 vehicles and give you the fixed price before the ride: no meter surprises, no waiting in the cold.
A ski day in St. Anton, Lech, Zürs or Stuben, a transfer between the villages of the ski area, or a pickup after your last run — your ski taxi is here for you around the clock.
One ski week, many ways to explore the Arlberg
Your ski week does not have to stay in St. Anton. The connected Ski Arlberg area takes in St. Anton–St. Christoph–Stuben, Lech–Oberlech–Zürs and Warth–Schröcken — around 85 lifts and cable cars and some 300 kilometres of marked runs. Out along the Klostertal there is also the Sonnenkopf at Klösterle, a ski area of its own that we drive to regularly.
Most of those lifts are not in St. Anton. That is exactly why this page exists: you do not reach the other base stations on skis, you reach them by road.
How a ski week on the Arlberg actually goes
Most guests arrive on a Saturday and leave on a Saturday. The first two or three days belong to St. Anton: a day on the Galzig, a day on the Rendl, a day on the Nasserein side — a different lift each day, and the village is plenty.
From Tuesday or Wednesday that changes. The pass is valid for the whole Arlberg, and the other villages are still unseen. That is exactly when our phone starts ringing for eight in the morning.
The eight o’clock run to Lech, Zürs, St. Christoph, Alpe Rauz and Sonnenkopf
From Tuesday or Wednesday, our mornings are mostly ski transfers: groups of skiers, often with their instructor, from the hotel door to the base station of another village. Up to eight people in one vehicle, skis and boards outside on the rack rather than across your knees.
Book the evening before. Around eight in high season it gets tight, above all for groups heading to Lech, Zürs and the Sonnenkopf — call on the morning itself and you often leave later than the instructor planned.
Tell us the group size when you book, and count the instructor in: above eight we send two vehicles that arrive at the same door at the same time — a ski school group should not reach the mountain in two halves.
And back again at two or three
The same groups want to come back in the afternoon. Between two and three we drive from Lech, Zürs, St. Christoph, Alpe Rauz and the Sonnenkopf back to St. Anton — the second peak of the day, right before the après-ski hour.
Book the return together with the outward ride — the form above has “add return trip” for exactly this. An ordinary day looks like: 08:00 hotel in St. Anton → Lech, 14:30 Lech → hotel. Or 08:15 St. Anton → Sonnenkopf, 15:00 back. The return does not have to start where we dropped you, either — out to Alpe Rauz and back from Zürs is an ordinary booking. It saves you making the call in ski boots, in the crowd at the base station.
When the wind gets up and the lifts stop
On the Arlberg this is part of the deal: the weather closes in, the wind gets up, and the lifts over the pass stop running. We have seen days when hundreds of skiers came down to Alpe Rauz in a short time — one bus takes a fraction of them, and there is a wait before the next.
In minutes like that, dozens of phones ring at the same time. We will say it plainly: we cannot be in five villages at once. Whoever has already booked the return is on our list; whoever calls in the same minute as a hundred other people waits.
At Alpe Rauz we collect you right at the base station, by the ticket office — not somewhere along the road. Tell us on the phone how many you are and how much equipment you have, so we know what to send.
The practical advice: if the forecast looks like storm, call earlier — not at the moment the lift is switched off, but before you go up.
Straight to the Mooserwirt, the Krazy Kanguruh and back down
Not every ride at the end of a ski day goes to a hotel. Most people want après-ski first: the Mooserwirt, the Krazy Kanguruh, Taps, the Kaminstube or the Sennhütte. We take you up and collect you again afterwards.
How to reach the taxis at the Moos barrier — and why we cannot drive up to the Krazy Kanguruh itself — is on the home page and in the après-ski guide.
Which lift should you start from? It depends where you are staying
Even inside St. Anton you do not have to start at the same base station every day. If you are staying in Nasserein or St. Jakob, the Nassereinbahn is on your doorstep. If you are in the centre, in Oberdorf, Moos, Stadle or Gastig, you will usually start at the Galzigbahn or — on the other side of the valley — the Rendlbahn.
And we stop close: at the Rendlbahn and the Galzigbahn we come to within about ten metres of the lift — right up to the door of the sports shop where guests leave their skis and boots. You get out, collect your equipment and you are at the lift. The Nassereinbahn sits inside the Nasserein pedestrian zone, so there we stop just outside it — on the Dorfstraße near the barrier, at the Shell station, or at the taxi rank by the Ostterminal.
The other way round, in the evening: right by the ticket office at the Galzigbahn there is a rank with space for four taxis — but only between 17:30 and 21:00. Come down earlier than that and it is better to call than to wait there. There is another rank at the Ostterminal, right beside the bus stop, opposite the Shell petrol station.
Just tell us where you want to ski that day and we will name the base station that makes the most sense for it. One thing to know: not every lift on the Arlberg can be reached by car. We take you to the nearest base station or ski-area entry point that a road actually reaches — from there you continue by lift or on skis.
You do not have to ski all the way back to St. Anton
The Arlberg is big, and a long ski day can end a long way from where you are staying. But you do not have to plan your last runs around getting back to St. Anton.
Finish in St. Christoph, Stuben, at Alpe Rauz, in Zürs, in Lech or on the Sonnenkopf — call or send a WhatsApp and we will tell you whether a car is free. Between two and three in the afternoon that is our busiest direction, above all for the groups we drove out in the morning.
If you already know where you expect to finish, booking the return in advance is the safest option.
Where a ski day actually finishes
Often it is not the guest who calls but the ski instructor. And the group is rarely standing at a base station: anyone who has skied a route or a deep-snow descent comes out where the run ends — and that is an inn, a car park or a bend in the road.
These are usually experienced skiers, and always with one or two instructors along. And these are the points we collect them from again and again: in the Verwalltal at the Wagner Hütte; in Pettneu at the Strohsack, where the descent out of the Malfontal comes down; and in St. Anton behind the MPREIS.
In Lech we usually collect at the après-ski places along the road — at the Krone, the Tannbergerhof, the Pfefferkorn — or at the Schneggarei, or outside the Strolz sports shop.
You do not need to send us coordinates. Say the name of the inn or the shop — we know where it is, and we know where a car can stop there.
Warth and Schröcken: connected on skis, not by road in winter
Warth and Schröcken belong to the Ski Arlberg ski area and are linked to the Lech side by lifts and pistes. On the road it is a different story.
The L198 road between Lech and Warth — seven kilometres — is generally closed in winter because of avalanche danger. Depending on snow and avalanche conditions it can open for a time, but nobody should plan a ride home on that. Skiers cross over by lift; a car usually cannot follow the same way.
In winter a car reaches Warth only the long way round: Zürs, Stuben, Langen, Bludenz, Feldkirch, Dornbirn, then through the Bregenzerwald by way of Mellau — about 148 kilometres. On a dry road the map says two and a half hours; in winter, on snowed-over Bundesstrassen through the Bregenzerwald, it takes longer than that. It is further than the drive from Zurich Airport to St. Anton — for a village you can see from the Lech slopes.
Seven kilometres of closed road become 148. This is where a piste map can mislead you: the same ski pass does not mean the same way home.
If you are thinking of finishing your ski day in Warth or Schröcken, talk to us before you set off — not once you are already standing there.
The base stations we drive to, village by village
These are the lifts whose base station stands down in the village, where the road reaches. Just tell us the name — “the Seekopfbahn in Zürs” is enough. The lifts higher up the mountain you reach from there by lift; no car goes to those.
- St. Anton am Arlberg
Galzigbahn, Nassereinbahn, Rendlbahn — and the Fangbahn for beginners
- St. Christoph am Arlberg
St. Christophbahn, in the village on the Arlberg pass
- Alpe Rauz
Valfagehrbahn and Flexenbahn, both at the pass road
- Stuben am Arlberg
Albonabahn I, in the village
- Zürs am Arlberg
Seekopfbahn, Zürserseebahn, Hexenbodenbahn — the three base stations in the village
- Lech am Arlberg
Rüfikopfbahn, Schlegelkopfbahn and the Bergbahn Lech–Oberlech
- Zug near Lech
Zugerbergbahn
- Sonnenkopf, Klösterle
Sonnenkopfbahn, valley station in the Klostertal
Oberlech is missing on purpose: in winter you do not reach it by car but by the cable car from Lech. In wind and snowfall individual lifts stop — in the morning we know which ones are turning.

Frequently asked questions
Do you take us directly to the ski lift?
Yes — wherever the lift has a base station a road reaches. In St. Anton we drive to the Galzigbahn, the Rendlbahn and the Nassereinbahn, and we take skiers to the road-accessible starting points in St. Christoph, Stuben, Alpe Rauz, Zürs, Lech and at the Sonnenkopf.
Can I be taken to first lifts early in the morning?
Of course — tell us your preferred time and we pick you up so you reach the first lift on time.
Do your vehicles have ski racks?
Yes, on a rear rack outside the cabin, so skis and boards are not inside the vehicle with you. Free of charge, with room for up to 8 passengers and their gear.
Do you drive ski groups to Lech, Zürs or St. Christoph in the morning?
Yes, that is our morning work. From Tuesday or Wednesday we drive groups from eight o’clock — often with their instructor — from the hotel door to the base station in Lech, Zürs, St. Christoph, at Alpe Rauz or on the Sonnenkopf. Book the evening before; on the morning itself it gets tight.
Do you collect us again in the afternoon?
Yes, and it is best to book the return at the same time. Between two and three we drive from Lech, Zürs, St. Christoph, Alpe Rauz and the Sonnenkopf back to St. Anton — the second peak of the day.
What happens if the lifts stop because of a storm?
Then a great many people reach the valley at once, often at Alpe Rauz, and one bus takes only a fraction of them. In minutes like that dozens of phones ring at the same time and we cannot be everywhere. Whoever has already booked the return is on the list; if the forecast looks bad, call before you go up rather than after.
Can you take a whole ski group with their equipment?
Up to eight passengers in one vehicle, skis and boards outside on the rear rack. For larger groups we add further vehicles subject to availability, so that everyone is at the same door at the same time — tell us the full group size when you book and we will plan it in.
Do you drive to the Sonnenkopf at Klösterle?
Yes. The Sonnenkopf is out along the Klostertal and is a ski area of its own. We drive there and back at a fixed price — which ticket suits your ski day is worth checking with Sonnenkopf directly.
Will you take us to the Mooserwirt or the Krazy Kanguruh after skiing?
Yes — most rides at the end of a ski day go to après-ski first and to the hotel afterwards. We cannot drive up to the Krazy Kanguruh itself: the only way up is the piste. Walk the 50 metres or so down to the Kaminstube.
Can a taxi drive directly from Lech to Warth in winter?
Usually not. Lech and Warth are connected on skis within Ski Arlberg, but the L198 road between them is generally closed in winter because of avalanche danger; check the current status before you count on it. By car the way round goes through Zürs, Stuben, Langen, Bludenz, Feldkirch, Dornbirn and the Bregenzerwald: about 148 kilometres. On a dry road that is two and a half hours; in winter, on snowed-over Bundesstrassen, it is more.
Can you take us from St. Anton to Warth?
By road yes, but in winter not by way of Lech: the direct road is closed and the drive goes a long way around. Ask us first — we will check the route, the journey time and the fixed price before you count on it.
How much is a ski taxi from St. Anton to Lech or Zürs?
Both are fixed-price rides, per vehicle and not per passenger. Just ask when you book — by phone or WhatsApp you get a binding quote right away.
