St. Christoph am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport Transfers with Alpinum Taxi
A private St. Christoph am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport transfer with Alpinum Taxi covers 107 kilometres in about 1 hour 20 minutes and starts at €220 per vehicle for one to eight passengers, luggage and ski equipment included. St. Christoph is the one Arlberg village whose drive to Innsbruck begins at its highest point: the village stands on the pass at 1,800 metres, and from the first metre the road only goes down.
The price of a St. Anton to Innsbruck Airport transfer starts at €220 per vehicle — the same fixed price as the other direction, for up to eight passengers with luggage, from your accommodation to the door of the hall at Innsbruck Airport. Skis and snowboards travel free, and child seats are fitted at no extra charge. What every St. Christoph 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 Innsbruck Airport to St. Christoph transfer works the same way in reverse.
When Should You Leave St. Christoph am Arlberg for Innsbruck Airport?
Your transfer leaves three hours before your flight departs from Innsbruck. That is not the driving time — the journey itself takes about 1h 20min. The difference is the margin: the descent out of the Stanzertal, winter conditions on that first stretch through the season, and check-in and security at Innsbruck Airport with ski luggage.
Seven kilometres decide the pickup time here, and they are the seven that come first. At 1,800 metres the snow arrives earliest and lies longest, so the descent to St. Anton is the stretch we ask about before we set your time. After that the St. Christoph to Innsbruck Airport route is the S16 and then motorway for a hundred kilometres. That is why the rule from here is three hours before your flight rather than the three and a half we allow from Lech, Zürs and Stuben: the mountain part is short, even though it starts higher than any of them.
For comparison: for a flight from Zurich we leave five hours before departure, two hours earlier than this. The difference matches the two drives — 107 kilometres to Innsbruck against 195 to Zurich — and the difference between one hall and two terminals.
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 road down the valley 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 Christoph to Innsbruck Airport Transfer: Price, Distance and Journey Time
A private transfer from St. Christoph am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport starts at €220 per vehicle for 107 km and about 1h 20min. 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.
The transfer back costs the same as the Innsbruck Airport to St. Christoph transfer. There is no night surcharge even when we are at your door at half past 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 ones; no border and no tunnel toll on this route
- Terminal — set down directly in front of the departures hall
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.
Door-to-Door Pickup in St. Christoph 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.
Our vehicles stand in St. Anton, seven kilometres and about ten minutes below the village, so a pickup on the pass at four in the morning does not begin with a long drive up to reach you. We come to the hotel entrance — at this altitude there is nothing between the car and the door but the width of the road — take the cases and the ski bags, and load them ourselves. Nothing is added to the transfer price for the hour.
Early transfers are normal for us. For one of the first flights out of Innsbruck that means a pickup before four 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.
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 Innsbruck Airport — a second hotel, a friend’s chalet, any accommodation in the village. Just tell us where you want to start.
The Route from St. Christoph am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport
The St. Christoph am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport route is seven kilometres of mountain and a hundred of valley. From the pass the road drops east to St. Anton, losing about five hundred metres of height in those seven kilometres, and joins the S16 at the St. Anton junction, just past the mouth of the Arlberg road tunnel. From Landeck the S16 becomes the A12 and follows the Inn past Imst and Telfs to Kranebitten, where the airport sits. The tunnel itself is not used on this drive, no border is crossed and there is no tunnel toll.
The journey is direct: no other passengers, no second vehicle and no stop between your door and the hall. Because the airport sits at Kranebitten on the western edge of Innsbruck, the transfer never crosses the city — the motorway ends within sight of the building.
Two places on that road have pages of their own: Landeck, where the Stanzertal ends and the Inn valley begins, and Zams, the next town down the Inn, and the hospital for the region. We drive the same road from both.
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 down the valley.
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.
From the highest village on the Arlberg to the simplest airport we drive to. Innsbruck is one hall: we stop at the kerb in front of it, check-in and departures are on the right as you stand facing the building, arrivals on the left, and the desk is under a minute from the car. No second terminal, no shuttle between terminals, no train underneath — after five hundred metres of descent and a hundred kilometres of valley, the last two hundred metres are the easiest part of the morning.
Checking in with ski luggage takes longer than checking in without it: oversized bags go in separately. That is what the three hours are for — not the drive itself, which takes about 1h 20min.
Not everyone flies home from Innsbruck. If your flight out goes from Zurich instead, we set that pickup time the same way — the evening before, from the road and the forecast — except that the transfer leaves five hours before departure.
Transfers from St. Christoph am Arlberg to Other Airports
Not everyone flies home from Innsbruck. We run private airport transfers from St. Christoph 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 and the size of the airport, and the exact time comes in the call the day before.
| To airport | km | Time | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Altenrhein | 110 | 1h 15min | from €300 |
| Friedrichshafen | 130 | 1h 35min | from €380 |
| Memmingen | 170 | 1h 45min | from €420 |
| Zurich | 195 | 2h 15min | from €460 |
| Munich | 237 | 3h 5min | from €660 |
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. Christoph to Altenrhein Airport transfer, and to the transfers to Friedrichshafen Airport and Memmingen Airport.
Train, Bus, Rental Car or Private Transfer to Innsbruck 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.
There is no station on the pass, and for a flight from Innsbruck only one of the two nearby platforms points the right way. St. Anton lies seven kilometres down the eastern side, on the road you are taking anyway; Langen is on the other side of the mountain, which for this journey is backwards. Which one your ticket actually needs is decided by the train and not by the distance, because not every service stops at both — check where yours calls. And Innsbruck Airport is not on the railway in any case: the last four kilometres out to Kranebitten are a bus or a taxi on top of the train. Seven kilometres in one car, or a car, a train and a third vehicle.
A rental car has to be returned at the airport, which on departure day is one more task with a deadline attached. The bus is the slowest of the four because it has the most changes in it.
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 Innsbruck Airport?
Most companies selling a transfer from St. Christoph am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport are not on the Arlberg — 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 half past 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: Klösterle, Langen am Arlberg, Lech, St. Anton am Arlberg, 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 — three 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.
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. Over 100 kilometres 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 St. Christoph 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. Child seats and booster seats are free.
St. Christoph am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport Transfer — Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Innsbruck Airport from St. Christoph am Arlberg?
The road distance from St. Christoph am Arlberg to Innsbruck Airport is about 107 kilometres, east down the Stanzertal and the Inn valley. Innsbruck is the closest airport to the village.
How long does the St. Christoph to Innsbruck Airport transfer take?
About 1h 20min for the 107 kilometres. Your pickup time does not follow the driving time alone, though — we leave three hours before your flight departs.
How much is a transfer from St. Christoph to Innsbruck Airport?
From €220 per vehicle. The same fixed price covers the Innsbruck Airport to St. Christoph transfer in the other direction.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. €220 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 St. Christoph for a 07:00 flight?
At 04:00. That is worked out at three hours before departure; the binding time comes in the call the day before you travel.
And for an 11:00 flight?
We collect you at 08:00, and at 14:00 for a flight at 17:00. The table in what time the transfer leaves covers the usual departure times.
Who decides the exact pickup time?
We do, in the call on the day before you travel. The three hours are the starting point; the final time comes from the forecast for that morning and from what the road is doing. You work nothing out.
Do you drive in the middle of the night?
Yes, and nothing is added for it. For the first flights out of Innsbruck that means a pickup before four in the morning, which through the ski season is ordinary work for us.
What happens if it snows heavily overnight?
We leave earlier, and you hear about it the evening before rather than on the doorstep. The transfer price does not change when the drive takes longer.
How many passengers fit in one vehicle?
Up to eight with luggage. For larger groups 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 outside on the 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 when you book and the seats and boosters are fitted before we pull up.
Where do you collect us in St. Christoph?
At the door of your accommodation — hotel, chalet or apartment, anywhere in the village: . Where a lane is too tight for the vehicle, we agree the nearest point it can stand.
Can we leave from a different address than the one you dropped us at?
Yes. Just tell us where the journey starts — a second hotel, a friend’s chalet, any address in the village.
Does the route use the Arlberg road tunnel?
No. The tunnel runs west and Innsbruck Airport lies east. The transfer joins the S16 at the St. Anton junction and turns away from the tunnel mouth about a hundred metres before it.
Does the route cross the Arlberg pass?
No. The pass and the tunnel both lie west of the village. The way to Innsbruck Airport is downhill and eastward the whole distance.
Is there a toll or a border crossing?
No border and no tunnel toll on this route — it stays inside Austria from end to end. Austrian road charges are inside the fixed price.
Where exactly do you set us down at Innsbruck Airport?
Right in front of the hall. Innsbruck Airport is a single building: standing outside with it in front of you, check-in and departures are on the right and arrivals on the left, and the walk from the kerb to the desk takes under a minute.
Is Innsbruck the closest airport to St. Christoph am Arlberg?
Yes, at about 107 kilometres. Altenrhein comes next at 110 km, then Friedrichshafen at 140 km. Zurich is twice as far at 200 km.
Can we take the train instead?
St. Christoph am Arlberg has its own station on the Arlbergbahn, so yes. Innsbruck Airport is not on the railway, though: from the main station out to Kranebitten is a bus or a taxi on top of the train.
Is the transfer private?
Yes. The vehicle runs for your group only. Nobody else is picked up, there is no meeting point and there is no stop between your door and the hall.
How do I pay for the transfer?
By card or in cash, before or after the journey. We agree which when you book: we take no deposit and store no card details.
Can I cancel free of charge?
Yes, up to 24 hours before the pickup — a call or a WhatsApp message is enough.
What do you need from me to quote the fixed price?
The pickup address, the date, the flight number, the departure time, how many of you there are and what luggage and ski equipment is coming. We work out the fixed price and the pickup time from that and send both back.
Can I book the transfer in as well?
Yes. Say so with the request and both journeys come back in one quote — the Innsbruck Airport to St. Christoph transfer runs on the same rules in the other direction.
