St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport Transfers with Taxi Anton
A private St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport transfer with Taxi Anton covers 135 kilometres in about 1 hour 45 minutes and starts at €380 per vehicle for one to eight passengers, luggage and ski equipment included. What makes the St Anton to Friedrichshafen drive different from the other four we run to this airport is the beginning: a hundred metres after leaving the village the transfer is inside the Arlberg road tunnel, so the mountain part of the journey is over before it has really started.
The price starts at €380 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 Friedrichshafen Airport. Skis and snowboards travel free, and child seats are fitted at no extra charge. What every St. Anton 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 Friedrichshafen Airport to St. Anton am Arlberg transfer works the same way in reverse.
When Should You Leave St. Anton am Arlberg for Friedrichshafen Airport?
Your transfer leaves four hours before your flight departs from Friedrichshafen. That is not the driving time — the journey itself takes about 1h 45min. The difference is the margin: the mountain stretch at the start, the border at Hörbranz, and check-in and security at Friedrichshafen Airport with ski luggage.
On this route the difficult stretch is the shortest of the five. Because the St Anton to Friedrichshafen transfer enters the tunnel almost immediately, there is no pass to climb and no mountain road to descend — which is why a snowy morning moves the pickup time less here than it does in Lech or Zürs. The four hours are mostly motorway and the airport, not the mountain.
For comparison: for a flight from Innsbruck we leave three hours before departure, later than we leave for this one — over 100 kilometres rather than 135, and with no border on the way. For Zurich we leave earlier than for Friedrichshafen. 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.

St. Anton to Friedrichshafen Airport Transfer: Price, Distance and Journey Time
A private transfer from St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport starts at €380 per vehicle for 135 km and about 1h 45min. 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 Friedrichshafen Airport to St. Anton 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, the Arlberg tunnel toll and the Pfänder tunnel, all inside the price
- 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 St. Anton 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.
St. Anton am Arlberg is the largest of the five villages we drive to Friedrichshafen from, and it is spread out along the valley floor: the pickup address matters here in a way it does not in Stuben. We collect in every part of it, from the hotels around the Galzigbahn to the apartments in Nasserein and the houses up in St. Jakob, and we know the roads between them at four in the morning.
Early transfers are normal for us. For one of the first flights out of Friedrichshafen 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 St. Anton, Nasserein, Oberdorf, Stadle, Moos and St. Jakob, 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 Friedrichshafen Airport — a second hotel, a friend’s chalet, any accommodation in the village. Just tell us where you want to start.
Pickup in St. Anton for Your Friedrichshafen Airport Flight
A hotel in the pedestrian zone of St. Anton is no reason to carry cases to the edge of it: on the day you fly from Friedrichshafen the luggage is what counts, and a car loaded with it may drive to your door. Its two ends are marked by iron bollards, by Hotel Schwarzer Adler in the east and by Intersport Pangratz in the west, and the only way through is westwards. Without cases the rule turns round: a car collecting guests who carry only skis may not go in, and we wait for them at Schwarzer Adler, Hotel Rosanna or Intersport Pangratz.
Oberdorf, Stadle, Moos, St. Jakob: in these parts of St. Anton there is no zone, and the Friedrichshafen transfer starts at the kerb outside your house. Nasserein is the exception, with a pedestrian zone of its own, marked by a bollard at Hotel Reselehof and one at the Dorfstraße entrance, opposite the Shell petrol station — there too a car with cases drives in, and a ride with skis only meets you at one of the two. If the last night of the holiday means dinner in the Verwalltal, the barrier on that road stays down by day and lifts at 17:00, after which we can drive the roughly three kilometres to the Wagnerhütte at the end of the road.
St. Anton to Friedrichshafen Airport: 135 km, about 1 hour 45 minutes, from €380 per vehicle. We leave St. Anton four hours before the flight, at 09:00 for a 13:00 departure. From St. Anton the road crosses into Germany at Hörbranz after the Pfänder tunnel, toll and vignette in the price, and 135 km later ends at the single terminal at Friedrichshafen.
The Route from St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport
The St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport route runs west from the first metre. The transfer joins the S16 at the St. Anton junction and goes straight into the Arlberg road tunnel — fourteen kilometres under the mountain, with the toll inside your fixed price — and comes out at Langen am Arlberg on the Vorarlberg side. From there the S16 drops down the Klostertal past Klösterle and Dalaas to Bludenz, where it becomes the A14 and follows the Rhine valley through Feldkirch and past Bregenz through the Pfänder tunnel. The border comes at Hörbranz, and twenty minutes later the B31 runs along the shore of Lake Constance 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 all the way to the lake.
Two places on that road have pages of their own: Langen am Arlberg, where the tunnel comes out on the Vorarlberg side, and Klösterle, the next village down the Klostertal. 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, about twenty minutes short of the airport. 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 so is the Arlberg tunnel toll. 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. Friedrichshafen 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.
For an early flight out of Friedrichshafen the pickup in St. Anton falls in the middle of the night, and that is normal work for us rather than a special request. Nothing is added to the St Anton to Friedrichshafen transfer price for the hour: the figure you were quoted is the figure you pay, whether we are at the door at three in the morning or at three in the afternoon.
Friedrichshafen is a compact 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.
Checking in with ski luggage still takes longer than checking in without it: oversized bags go in separately. That is what the four hours are for — not the drive itself, which takes about 1h 45min.
Not everyone flies home from Friedrichshafen. 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 St. Anton am Arlberg to Other Airports
Not everyone flies home from Friedrichshafen. We run private airport transfers from St. Anton 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| St. Anton am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport | 100 | 1h 15min | from €200 |
| St. Anton am Arlberg to Altenrhein Airport | 105 | 1h 25min | from €300 |
| St. Anton am Arlberg to Memmingen Airport | 175 | 2h | from €420 |
| St. Anton am Arlberg to Zurich Airport | 200 | 2h 20min | from €460 |
| St. Anton am Arlberg to Munich Airport | 230 | 3h | from €640 |
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 St. Anton am Arlberg to Altenrhein Airport transfer, and to the transfers to Memmingen Airport and Zurich Airport.
How Do You Want to Get to Friedrichshafen 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.
St. Anton has a station on the main line through the Arlberg, so the train is a real option from here in a way it is not from Zürs or St. Christoph. It is also the option that decides your morning: you work back from a departure board rather than from your flight, you change between two national networks at the border, and every change is made carrying the ski bags yourself. A private St Anton to Friedrichshafen transfer replaces all of that with one vehicle and one time.
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 St. Anton am Arlberg guide goes through the other ways out of the valley.
| Travel choice | Works well when | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-booked private transfer | Families, groups and anyone travelling with ski luggage | Collected at your accommodation and driven straight to the terminal, in a vehicle reserved for you. The time is agreed with you the day before. |
| Shared airport shuttle | Travelling alone, with the fare as the first priority | Departure times are the shuttle’s rather than yours, and the run can include waiting and pickups along the way. |
| Taxi booked on the day | Plans that change at short notice | Fine when one is free. On a departure morning nobody can promise in advance that the size of vehicle you need will be. |
| Train and bus | Travelling light, with time to spare for connections | The least direct of the four: the luggage moves at every change, and you work back from a timetable rather than from your flight. |
Why Choose Taxi Anton for Your Transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport?
Most companies selling a transfer from St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport sit neither on the Arlberg nor on Lake Constance — 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: Friedrichshafen Airport to Lech, Friedrichshafen Airport to St. Christoph, Friedrichshafen Airport to Stuben and Friedrichshafen Airport to Zürs.
Five 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 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 135 kilometres and two countries the figure is settled from the start rather than climbing on a meter.
Our own 4x4 vehicles
Our fleet is the Mercedes Minibus 4x4 and the VW Caravelle Minibus 4x4, 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 St. Anton 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.
Drivers who speak English
Our drivers speak German and English. On a departure morning that is more than politeness: if something changes on the way — a closure, a slower stretch, a question about the terminal — you hear it in a language you can answer in, rather than finding out at the airport.
St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport Transfer — Frequently Asked Questions

The road distance from St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport is about 135 kilometres — down the Klostertal, through the Rhine valley and across the border into Germany.
How long does the St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport transfer take?
The St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport transfer takes about 1h 45min for the 135 kilometres. The pickup time does not follow the driving time alone, though — for a St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen transfer we leave four hours before departure.
How much is a transfer from St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport?
A private airport transfer from St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport costs from €380 per vehicle. The same fixed price covers the Friedrichshafen Airport to St. Anton am Arlberg transfer in the other direction.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
The price of the St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport transfer is per vehicle, not per person. €380 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.
What time do we leave St. Anton am Arlberg for a 07:00 flight?
For a 07:00 flight from Friedrichshafen Airport, the transfer leaves St. Anton am Arlberg at 03:00. That is worked out at four hours before departure; the binding time comes in the call the day before.
And for an 11:00 flight?
For an 11:00 flight from Friedrichshafen Airport, we collect you in St. Anton am Arlberg at 07:00, and at 13:00 for a 17:00 flight. The table in when you should leave covers the usual departure times.
Who decides the exact pickup time?
We set the exact pickup time for the Friedrichshafen Airport transfer ourselves, in the call on the day before you travel. The four 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 hours and not three?
The transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport leaves four hours before departure, not three, because three things sit on top of the 1h 45min drive: the mountain stretch at the start, the border at Hörbranz, and checking in with ski luggage. For Innsbruck we leave later than this and for Zurich earlier — the lead time follows the route rather than a round number.
Do you drive in the middle of the night?
Yes — we drive in the middle of the night for early flights from Friedrichshafen, and nothing is added to the price. For the first flights out of Friedrichshafen that means a pickup at 02:00. In the ski season it is routine.
What happens if it snows heavily overnight?
If it snows heavily overnight, the transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport leaves 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 — the St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport transfer crosses a border. St. Anton am Arlberg is in Austria and Friedrichshafen Airport is in Germany, so the drive crosses at Hörbranz, just before Lindau and about twenty minutes short of the airport. Both countries are in the Schengen area, so there is normally no check.
Do we need our passports in the car?
Yes — on the transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport, keep the identity document you are flying with somewhere in the car 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 — tolls and the vignette are included in every transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport. The Austrian vignette, the Arlberg tunnel toll and the Pfänder tunnel toll are inside the fixed price. Nobody stops at a toll booth.
Do we stop at the border?
No — the transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport does not stop at the border. You stay seated, the vehicle keeps going, and the luggage is not moved once between your accommodation and the departures hall.
How many passengers fit in one vehicle?
One vehicle takes up to eight passengers 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 — skis and snowboards come free of charge on every transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport. 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 — child seats and boosters are free on the transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport. 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 St. Anton am Arlberg?
We collect you at the door of your accommodation, not at a meeting point — in St. Anton am Arlberg itself and in Nasserein, Oberdorf, Stadle, Moos or St. Jakob. 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 — the transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport can start from a different address than the one you arrived at. 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 Friedrichshafen Airport and the way back do not have to use the same address.
Where do you set us down at Friedrichshafen Airport?
We set you down at Friedrichshafen Airport directly in front of the departures hall. Friedrichshafen is a compact regional airport with 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 — every transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport is private. 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 St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen in summer as well?
Yes — we drive to Friedrichshafen Airport all year, summer included. It is the same road and the same price; in summer we carry walkers and cyclists rather than skiers.
How do we pay?
You pay the driver directly for the transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport, in cash or by card. The price is fixed per vehicle and confirmed when you book, so you know the full amount before the journey starts.
Can we cancel at short notice?
A transfer to Friedrichshafen Airport can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the pickup.
Can we take the train from St. Anton am Arlberg to Friedrichshafen Airport?
St. 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 — from St. Anton am Arlberg we drive to all six airports: Innsbruck, Friedrichshafen, Altenrhein, Memmingen, Zurich and Munich, each at a fixed price per vehicle. The lead time differs because the drives differ.
