Your vehicle is reserved exclusively for you and your group.
Every transfer we run is private — here is what that means →
We are a local taxi company based in St. Anton am Arlberg. We drive to Zurich Airport to meet our guests and take them directly to St. Anton am Arlberg.
Airport transfers are only part of our work. Throughout the winter, we also operate as a local taxi service across the Arlberg, spending most of our time on snow-covered mountain roads between 1,300 and 1,800 metres. These are the roads we know best.
We do not look up your hotel. We already know it — the best access, the right entrance, and exactly where to stop, even after heavy snowfall.
Every hotel, chalet, apartment and lift station. We do not rely on sat nav to find your accommodation — we already know where it is.

Zurich to St. Anton transfers: what is included, and what is not
| Fixed price | The price you are quoted is the price you pay |
|---|---|
| All tolls included | Swiss and Austrian road charges and the Arlberg Tunnel |
| Ski equipment | Skis and boards on the rear rack, no extra charge |
| Child seats | Baby, toddler and booster seats, free on request |
| Flight tracking | We follow your flight and adjust the pickup |
| Not included | Gratuities (optional, around 10% is customary) |
With most transfer companies, ski equipment pushes you up a vehicle class. Here it goes on the rear rack, at no extra cost.
Meeting your driver at Zurich Airport
Before you land, we'll send you an email, WhatsApp message or SMS — whichever suits you — with everything you need:
- Your driver's name and direct mobile number
- Make, colour and registration number of the car that will be waiting
As soon as your driver arrives at the airport, you get another message: your driver is here, and here is exactly where to walk.
Zurich has two arrival halls — Arrival 1 and Arrival 2 — and which one you come out of depends on your flight. You do not need to work that out. Your driver tells you which hall, and stands there with a sign with your name on it, just past the customs doors at the marked Meeting Point.
If you would rather call than read, the number is in your hand before you take off.
Bags delayed, wrong hall, phone dead. It happens, and none of it is a problem — you have your driver's direct mobile number, and he answers it. There is no call centre in between and no booking reference to quote. You are talking to the person standing in the arrivals hall.
Arrival 2 opens straight into the busy part of the airport, next to the railway station. Arrival 1 is quieter and about 250 metres further out, linked by a signposted underground passage. If you are travelling with small children and you land at Arrival 2, walk twenty metres to the left of the customs exit before you start looking — it is far calmer there, and your driver will find you.

The road from Zurich to St. Anton
Two roads lead to St. Anton. Which one we drive is decided on the day.
Route 1 — via St. Gallen
The usual one
The one we drive on most days. East past Winterthur and St. Gallen, across the border into Austria at Diepoldsau, then down the Rhine valley through Hohenems and Feldkirch to Bludenz and Langen.
Route 2 — via Liechtenstein
When traffic backs up, or for a pickup in Zurich city
We take this one when the St. Gallen stretch is backed up, or when the pickup is in Zurich city. Along the Walensee on the A3, through Sargans and Vaduz in Liechtenstein, back into Austria at Rankweil.
From Zurich Airport the route heads east past Winterthur and St. Gallen — the fastest way to the Arlberg — then crosses into Austria at the Diepoldsau border. It follows the Rhine valley through Hohenems and Feldkirch, then the A14 and the S16 Arlberg Schnellstraße up to Bludenz and Langen. From there, if the road is clear and dry, we take the scenic Arlbergpass — up over Stuben and St. Christoph at 1,793 m and down into St. Anton. When there is snow or ice on the road, or heavy traffic, we use the Arlberg Tunnel instead (€13 toll) and come out right at St. Anton. Knowing which one to take on the day is exactly what nearly thirty winters on this road are for. Either way it is roughly 200 km and about 2h 20min, and we plan for realistic winter timing.
From Langen the last stretch is the same on both: over Stuben, St. Christoph and the Arlbergpass when the road is dry, through the Arlberg Tunnel when there is snow or ice.
Your arrival in St. Anton ski resort
The final approach, and the road conditions.
The final climb over the Arlberg is where 28 years of local driving matters. The S16 and the pass can see heavy snow, ice on the Bludenz stretch of the A14, and occasional tunnel or pass closures. Our vehicles are 4x4, carry snow chains, and are prepared for 2,000 m altitude — this is our home road in every condition, not a motorway we visit twice a year. If the pass closes we already know the alternatives.
Direct to your accommodation
The ski resort runs along one valley, and your address is either east of the centre or west of it. That decides the last five minutes.
West and uphill: Stadle, then Mooserkreuz, then the turning to Dengert and Moos, before the road climbs on to St. Christoph. Coming from Zurich Airport you reach these first, before the centre.
East, along the valley floor: Untergand, Gand, Gsör, St. Jakob and Nasserein, each on the side road that runs parallel to the Arlbergstraße.
Give us the address from your booking and we drive to the door. We do not look it up on the way.
Your vehicle for St. Anton
VW Caravelle T6.1 — Long — 4x4
The practical choice
- Up to 8 passengers
- AWD (4MOTION)
- Rear ski rack, outside the cabin
- Child seats on request, no extra charge
Mercedes V-Class — Extra Long — 4x4
The luxury choice
- Up to 7 passengers
- AWD (4MATIC)
- Rear ski rack, outside the cabin
- Child seats on request, no extra charge
Two hours and twenty minutes over the Arlberg, most of it climbing. You will have flown in with a week's luggage and ski bags, so the thing that matters here is that all of it fits in one vehicle and nobody spends the drive with a boot bag on their knees.
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.
Not a vehicle hired in for the season. This is the road it is prepared for.
Four ways to get from Zurich to St. Anton
Here is how the four realistic ways of getting from Zurich Airport to St Anton compare. All figures are one way.
| Private transfer | Shared shuttle | Train | Rental car | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Journey time | 2 h 20 | 3 – 3¼ h | 3 – 3½ h | 2 h 20 plus stops |
| Departs | When you land | 5 buses, only 1 runs daily | Fixed timetable, change at Zurich HB | When you land |
| Cost, 1–3 people | €460 total | €60 each | €55–80 each | see note |
| Cost, 4–8 people | €490 total | €60 each | €55–80 each | see note |
| Skis and luggage | On the rear rack | Limited space | You carry it through the change | 4 sets at most |
| Ends at | Your door | 2 village stops, then walk | St. Anton station, then a taxi | Wherever you find parking |
| Cancellation | Free up to 24 h before | 10% over 24 h, 100% under | Depends on ticket type | Depends on supplier |
Two of you, travelling light, on a day the shuttle runs? The shuttle is cheaper and we will tell you so. It stops being cheaper at around eight people, and it was never an option at all if you land on a Tuesday evening — there is one daily bus from Zurich, and it leaves at 13:00.
The train is a good choice for one or two people with normal luggage. With skis it means carrying everything through a change at Zurich Hauptbahnhof, and a taxi at the far end anyway.
What about a rental car?
A rental car gives you a car for the week, and that is a real advantage if you plan to leave the valley. The costs that surprise people: you need a Swiss motorway vignette, sold only as a full-year sticker, plus a separate Austrian one. Winter tyres are a legal requirement in Austria from 1 November to 15 April. The Arlberg tunnel is tolled and charged separately. Parking in St Anton is limited and rarely free, and many chalets have none at all.

★★★★☆
Ich bin mit dem Taxi vom Züricher Flughafen nach St. Anton gefahren. Dabei war alles ok. Der Chauffeur war sehr nett und pünktlich und das Auto sauber. Super.
Winter season considerations
Saturday is changeover day across the Alps. Half the accommodation in the region swaps guests on the same morning, and by late morning the A14 through the Rhine valley is carrying the traffic of every resort from Lech to Ischgl at once. On a Saturday in January or February, allow an extra hour on top of the usual 2h 20min — we build that into the pickup time so you do not have to. Midweek, the same drive is uneventful.
The busiest days of the 2026/27 season
These are the days the whole Arlberg arrives at once. If you are travelling on one of them, book early: vehicles go first, and the road is slower than the map says.
- 26 December
- 2 January
- 6 February
- 13 February
- 20 February
| Late December – early January | Highest demand of the year. Book weeks ahead. |
|---|---|
| Mid-January | The quietest stretch of the winter, and the easiest to arrange at short notice. |
| February | High demand again — school holidays across Europe fall in this month. |
| March – April | Moderate demand, long days, and often the best snow of the season. |
The other way round: Walensee, Sargans and Vaduz
There is a second road to the Arlberg, and on some days it is the better one. Instead of heading east past Winterthur and St. Gallen, it follows the A3 along the Walensee, runs south past Sargans, crosses into Liechtenstein at Vaduz and re-enters Austria near Feldkirch, where the two routes meet again. We take it when the St. Gallen stretch is backed up — typically ski Saturdays — and whenever the pickup is in Zurich city rather than at the airport, because from the centre it is simply shorter. Taken this way, the transfer crosses three countries: Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria.
Important information
- Documents and the border
A passport or national ID card for everyone travelling, children included. Checks are rare between Schengen countries, but the document still has to exist.
- Luggage
Suitcases and hand luggage are included. Skis, boards and boot bags travel on the rear rack at no extra cost — tell us how many sets when you book so we send the right vehicle.
- Child seats
Baby seats, toddler seats and boosters are free on request. We need the ages at booking so the right seats are fitted before we set off.
- Pets
Travelling with an animal? Tell us when you book and we confirm what is possible — it depends on the vehicle and the size of the group.

Going back to the airport
We drive the return the same way: door to door from your accommodation, with the pickup timed to your flight. For Zurich we normally set off five hours before departure — that already covers the drive, check-in with ski luggage, and a margin for snow and Saturday traffic on the Arlberg. Book both directions together and we hold the return for your departure day.

Your driver on the Zurich to St. Anton run
Local drivers since 1998 — 28 years on the Arlberg, German and English, 4x4 winter vehicles. More about Alpinum Taxi.
We have driven this exact Zurich–St. Anton route almost daily through nearly thirty winter seasons. We know its weather patterns, its quiet shortcuts, and exactly when to take the pass and when the tunnel is the safer call — so you arrive relaxed, whatever the conditions.
Unlike many transfer companies, our drivers do not only run airport transfers. Once the long-distance runs are done, they work as local taxi drivers in St. Anton and across the Arlberg region.
Because of that we know every part of the area: the ski lifts, the hotels and chalets, the restaurants and après-ski venues, the private accommodation, and the streets of St. Anton and the surrounding villages.
Your driver takes you straight to your accommodation, with no unnecessary detours and no time lost while somebody hunts for your hotel or chalet. Our local knowledge makes the arrival smooth even when you are staying in a small chalet, a private apartment or at an address that is not obvious.
St. Anton am Arlberg ski resort — Mini-guide
Why visitors choose St. Anton
St. Anton am Arlberg sits at 1,300 m and anchors Ski Arlberg: 305 km of prepared pistes, 200 km of marked off-piste routes and close to 90 lifts, linked with St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech and Zürs. The Galzig and Rendl gondolas leave from the centre of the village. St. Anton is famous not only for its skiing but also for its lively après-ski. Krazy Kanguruh, Taps and ARL ONE sit high on the final run into the village, with the legendary MooserWirt a hundred metres below them. At the foot of the slope, by the Galzigbahn, Basecamp and the Anton Bar take over, and the Murrmel Bar keeps going in the pedestrian area long after the lifts close. That is also the practical reason people book a transfer instead of hiring a car: nobody needs a rental parked outside the hotel for a week — and nobody should drive the Arlberg after an afternoon at the Mooserwirt.
Zurich Airport to St. Anton am Arlberg — frequently asked questions
Where will my driver meet me at Zurich Airport?

Per vehicle, always. €460–490 covers the whole vehicle for 1 to 8 passengers with luggage and ski equipment — not per seat.

No. Tipping is not expected and never added to the bill. If you were happy with the drive, around 10% is customary in Austria, but it is entirely up to you.
