Zurich Airport to St. Anton Transfers

The Zurich to St. Anton private transfer is priced per vehicle, not per person. One price covers the whole car on every St. Anton transfer, for up to eight passengers, so a family of six pays the same as a couple. That is why the cost per person falls sharply as your group grows.

Yes, the Zurich to St. Anton transfer price is fixed: the price you are quoted before booking is the price you pay, whatever the traffic does. There is no meter and no recalculation on the day.

Our direct Zurich to St. Anton transfer starts at €460 per vehicle for one to three passengers, and €490 for four to eight. Tolls, the Austrian vignette and the Arlberg Tunnel are all included.

The Zurich to St. Anton transfer price includes all Swiss and Austrian road charges, the vignette, the Arlberg Tunnel toll, ski and snowboard carriage, child seats, flight tracking, and 60 minutes of free waiting. Gratuities are optional and the only thing not included.

Yes, you can pay for your Zurich to St. Anton transfer by card or in cash, directly to your driver. The price is fixed per vehicle and confirmed when you book, so you know the full amount before the journey starts.

You can change or cancel a Zurich to St. Anton transfer up to 24 hours before pickup. Please tell us in writing, by email, so the cancellation is on record for both of us.

Book a Zurich to St. Anton transfer as early as you can for Saturdays in high season, Christmas, New Year and February half-term, when vehicles go quickly. Some guests book in August for the following March. Midweek and outside the peaks a few days is usually fine, and we take last-minute bookings when we have a car free.

Yes, you can book a last-minute Zurich to St. Anton transfer whenever we have a car free. For most of the season a day or two is enough, and we often take same-day bookings. The exception is the peak weeks — Christmas, New Year and the February half-term Saturdays — when every available vehicle is out from early morning.

The distance from Zurich Airport to St. Anton is 200 km by road, and the transfer takes around 2 hours 20 minutes. Most of that is motorway through Switzerland and the Rhine valley; only the last half hour is alpine road. Innsbruck is closer at 100 km; Munich Airport is further, at 230 km.

Your driver meets you in the Zurich Airport arrivals hall, waiting with a sign showing your name — meet and greet is included on every St. Anton transfer. You receive your driver’s name, mobile number and vehicle details before you land.

Yes, you will know your driver before the Zurich to St. Anton transfer: before you fly we send your dedicated driver’s name, mobile number and the make, colour and registration of the vehicle by WhatsApp, email or SMS — whichever suits you.

If your flight to Zurich is delayed, we follow it in real time and move the pickup to match, so your dedicated driver is there when you actually land.

The transfer from Zurich Airport to St. Anton takes around 2 hours 20 minutes for the 200 km, door-to-door. It can take 10 to 15 minutes longer depending on the weather and the traffic on the motorway and on the road up.

Yes, we operate early-morning and late-night transfers between Zurich Airport and St. Anton — we are available 24 hours a day, all year round. We work to your flight rather than to a timetable: we collect you whenever you land, and on the way back we set the pickup so you reach check-in in good time.

Yes, a short stop for groceries on the way from Zurich to St. Anton is no problem — just mention it to your driver. Many guests stop at the supermarket before the last climb into St. Anton, particularly if they are staying in a chalet or apartment.

No, we do not have a desk at Zurich Airport, and you do not need one. Your driver waits for you in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name, so there is no counter to find and no queue to join. You have his mobile number before you fly, and he tracks your flight, so a delay changes nothing.

Yes, the Zurich to St. Anton transfer is door-to-door: we collect you inside the airport and drive you to the door of your hotel, chalet or apartment in St. Anton — including addresses up the steep lanes above the village. There is no shared drop-off point and no last leg to arrange yourself.

For Zurich to St. Anton ski transfers we use VW Caravelle T6.1 vans for up to eight passengers and the Mercedes Minibus for up to six — all winter-ready 4x4, with winter tyres from November to April and snow chains on board.

Yes, ski and snowboard equipment travels on every Zurich to St. Anton transfer at no extra charge. Skis and boards travel on an external rear-door rack, so your equipment does not push you into a larger vehicle class and you are not sitting next to wet ski equipment.

On the Zurich to St. Anton transfer, a normal suitcase and a ski or board bag per passenger is standard. If you are travelling with more — extra luggage, boot bags, a pushchair — tell us when you book and we will allocate the right car.

Yes, child seats are free of charge on the Zurich to St. Anton transfer. Baby, toddler and booster seats are available in every car; give us your children’s ages when you book and they are fitted before you arrive.

Yes, you can book a Zurich to St. Anton airport transfer for a large group or family: up to eight passengers travel per vehicle, and for larger groups we run two or more vehicles into St. Anton at the same time so everyone arrives together.

Yes, pets can travel on the Zurich to St. Anton transfer if you tell us when you book. Small animals in a carrier are usually straightforward on the run to St. Anton; larger dogs need the right vehicle, which we can arrange with notice.

The Zurich to St. Anton transfer is always private, never shared. The car is yours alone: no other passengers, no extra pickups, no waiting for a group to gather. You leave when your flight lands rather than when a shuttle is full, and the price covers the whole vehicle rather than each seat.

Yes, we drive the Zurich to St. Anton route in heavy snow: we run transfers on this alpine road right through the winter — these conditions are our normal operating season, driven by people who have worked this exact road for 28 winters.

From Zurich to St. Anton the usual line runs east through Winterthur and St. Gallen, over the Diepoldsau border into Austria, then down the Rhine valley past Feldkirch to Bludenz and Langen. The other good road runs along the Walensee past Sargans and up the Swiss bank of the Rhine to Feldkirch; the driver takes whichever one Google Maps shows as quicker on the day. From Langen it is either the Arlbergpass or the Arlberg Tunnel — your driver decides on the day.

Yes, our private transfers reach hotels outside the centre too — every hotel and chalet in St. Anton: Moos, Dengert, Mooserkreuz, Stadle, Hochgastig, Gastig, Oberdorf, Zentrum, Nasserein, St. Jakob am Arlberg, Gsör, Gand and Untergand. Several are up steep alpine lanes that stay snow-covered in midwinter.

Yes, our experienced local drivers in St. Anton speak English as well as German.

No, a tip is entirely optional on any St. Anton transfer. Around 10% is customary in Austria if your driver has looked after you well on the way to St. Anton, but nothing is expected.

Yes, you can book a St. Anton to Zurich Airport return transfer on the same terms as the inbound journey, and it is worth booking both legs together. We collect you from your hotel about 5 hours before your flight, which covers the journey, check-in and a reserve.

For a St. Anton to Zurich Airport transfer we collect you about 5 hours before your flight: around 2 hours 20 minutes for the road down to Zurich, the time you need for check-in and security, and a reserve for snow or traffic. For a morning flight that means an early start; your driver confirms the exact time with you during your stay.

Yes, we also run private transfers from Zurich Airport to Lech and Zürs, and to St. Christoph, Stuben, Langen am Arlberg and Klösterle. The same vehicles, drivers and terms apply on every transfer, in both directions.

Innsbruck is the closest airport to St. Anton, at 100 km and about 1 hour 15 minutes, from €200 per vehicle. Then Altenrhein (105 km), Friedrichshafen (135 km), Memmingen (175 km), Zurich (200 km) and Munich (230 km).

For St. Anton, Innsbruck is the closest of the six airports and the quickest journey to the resort, so check that option first. Zurich has far more flights, including long-haul and low-cost routes Innsbruck does not serve, which is why most international visitors end up there.

The best way to get from Zurich to St. Anton depends on your group, your luggage and which option suits your arrival time. A private transfer is the most comfortable: door-to-door in 2 hours 20 minutes, leaving when your flight lands rather than to a timetable. The train is a reasonable choice for one or two people travelling light, and the shared shuttle is cheaper for a couple on the one day it runs.

Yes, a scheduled shuttle bus runs between Zurich Airport and the Arlberg during the winter ski season, with one departure a day. Outside the season, and on any day it does not suit your flight, a private transfer is the only direct option.

Yes, if you drive yourself from Zurich to St. Anton you need winter tyres — they are a legal requirement in Austria from 1 November to 15 April, and chains may be needed on the Arlbergpass in heavy snow. On a transfer with us it is not your problem.

The cheapest way from Zurich Airport to St. Anton, for one or two people travelling light, is the train or the once-daily bus. From about six passengers a private transfer costs less per person than either option, and it takes you to your hotel door rather than to a station or a village stop.

Yes, you can get from Zurich to St. Anton by train in roughly 3 to 3½ hours with a change at Zurich Hauptbahnhof, though a private transfer is quicker and more comfortable. It works well with hand luggage; with skis you move everything through the change and finish at St. Anton station rather than at your hotel.

Hiring a car for St. Anton only makes sense if you plan to leave the resort regularly; otherwise a private airport transfer is the easier and more convenient option. A Swiss vignette is sold as a full-year sticker, Austria needs its own, and parking in St. Anton is limited and rarely free.

Yes, we can take you to restaurants and bars during your stay in St. Anton. Airport transfers are only part of what we drive — we run a local taxi service across St. Anton and the Arlberg all season: your hotel to the lifts in the morning, back from the après-ski bars in the afternoon, evening runs to restaurants and neighbouring villages, and the mountain huts in summer.

St. Anton is located in the Tirol, western Austria, at the head of the Stanzertal valley on the border with Vorarlberg. The Swiss border is 80 km away. It is 200 km from Zurich Airport, 100 km from Innsbruck and 230 km from Munich.

St. Anton am Arlberg is in Austria, not Switzerland — in Tirol, at the eastern end of the Arlberg; Lech and Zürs sit on the Vorarlberg side of the same pass. Zurich is in Switzerland, which is why the drive crosses a border at Diepoldsau — both countries are in Schengen and the crossing is normally a drive-through.

St. Anton am Arlberg is known for two things above all: the skiing and the noise it makes afterwards. St. Anton is the liveliest village on the Arlberg, with the Galzig, Rendl and Nasserein lifts out of the centre and some of the most demanding lift-served terrain in the Alps off Kapall, Schindler Spitze and the Valluga. It shares one pass with Lech, Zürs and five other villages — 300 km of pistes and 85 lifts.

St. Anton sits at 1,304 m, and the ski area rises to 2,811 m at the top of the Valluga — just over 1,500 m of vertical.

St. Anton is in the Tirol. The border runs along the Arlberg pass just above St. Anton, which is why St. Christoph is Tirolean while Stuben, Lech and Zürs are Vorarlberg.

St. Anton and the Ski Arlberg area are considered snow-sure, thanks to their altitude and their position on the main alpine ridge, where Atlantic weather systems meet it. The season normally runs from early December to late April. As in any ski area, though, how much snow falls and how it lies depends on the winter and on the altitude.

The St. Anton season runs from early December to late April, and in good years into the first week of May. January and February are the most reliable for snow; March brings longer days and softer conditions. Christmas, New Year and February half-term are the busiest weeks.

Yes, St. Anton has a train station on the main Arlberg line, with direct services from Zurich, Innsbruck and Vienna. The station is located in the centre of the resort, a few minutes from the nearest lift.

St. Anton is popular with families, particularly around Nasserein, where the nursery slopes, the ski schools and the toboggan run all finish on the doorstep. Child seats are free on our transfers, and the arl.park hall and the WellCom pools cover the days nobody skis.

St. Anton is one of Austria’s well-known international ski resorts, and prices vary a good deal with when you come. Accommodation in particular costs more over Christmas, New Year and the February holiday weeks. Early December, January outside the holidays and the end of the season are usually where the cheaper beds are.

No, St. Anton is generally less expensive than Lech: hotels in Lech sit a category higher, and St. Anton has more at the simpler end. Skiing costs the same in both — one Ski Arlberg pass covers the two — and so does getting there, since both villages are 200 km from Zurich Airport and both start at €460 per vehicle.

St. Anton and Ischgl are two valleys apart and sold on two different passes, so it is not one ski area against another. St. Anton is on Ski Arlberg with Lech, Zürs and St. Christoph; Ischgl is over in the Paznaun with its own area and its own reputation for concerts. St. Anton has the harder terrain and the shorter drive from Zurich. We drive to both.

St. Anton is part of Ski Arlberg, the largest linked ski area in Austria and the fifth largest in the world by kilometres of piste: 300 km of marked pistes and 85 lifts on one pass, covering St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zürs, Warth and Schröcken.

St. Anton is a better ski resort for beginners than its reputation suggests. There are proper nursery slopes at the foot of the Nasserein and Gampen lifts, away from the steep runs the village is known for, and some of the best ski schools in Austria to use them with.

Yes, St. Anton is good for non-skiers: there is a 4.3 km floodlit toboggan run, 80 km of winter walking trails, sleigh rides and an ice rink outdoors, and the arl.park hall and the Arlberg WellCom pools indoors. The cable cars carry foot passengers, so you can meet the skiers for lunch at altitude.

St. Anton is one of the most popular resorts in the Alps for strong skiers. The long reds off Kapall and Schindler Spitze are exceptional, and the lift-accessed off-piste at Schindlerkar and Mattun ranks with anything in Europe.

Yes, skiers and snowboarders need a guide for the Valluga summit cable car: the top section from Valluga I only carries them accompanied by a qualified mountain guide. Without skis you can ride up to the viewing platform freely.

Yes, you can ski from St. Anton to Lech: since the Flexenbahn opened for the 2016/17 season, St. Anton, Stuben, Zürs and Lech are linked on skis. Allow a full day and start early — it is a long way round.

The St. Anton ski pass is a Ski Arlberg pass, covering all 300 km and 85 lifts on one ticket. Rates change by season and duration, so check the official Ski Arlberg site or ask in St. Anton for current prices. Passes are available online in advance or at the lift stations.

There are several rental shops in St. Anton, including Intersport, Sport Alber and Sport Pangratz, most within a few minutes of the nearest lift. Many will fit boots the evening you arrive so you are ready for first lifts.

The most popular après-ski in St. Anton is at the MooserWirt and the Krazy Kanguruh, both directly on the piste at the top end of St. Anton, next to Arl One, Griabli and Taps. At the foot of the slope are Basecamp and Anton Bar, and Murrmel in the centre has live music until three in the morning.

Yes, St. Anton is a party town and does not pretend otherwise — it is the loudest village on the Arlberg. The afternoon happens on the way down the Galzig, at the Mooserwirt and the Krazy Kanguruh, and moves into the village from there. It is also a village people ski hard in, and the streets away from that last run are quiet by ten.

Yes, you can drink the tap water in St. Anton: tap water throughout Austria is drinking water, and here it comes off the mountain above the village. Fill a bottle in your room rather than buying one.

In St. Anton they speak German, in a broad Tirolean dialect that visitors are not expected to follow. In the hotels, the ski schools, the rental shops and the lift offices, English is spoken as a matter of course — St. Anton has had British and Scandinavian guests for the better part of a century.

Yes, St. Anton is busy at Christmas and New Year — those two weeks fill first, along with the February half-term and the Saturdays in high season. It affects the transfer as much as the room: send us your flights as soon as they are confirmed and the vehicle is held for you at a fixed price.

Yes, St. Anton is worth visiting in summer, when it is far quieter. The lifts on Galzig, Gampen and Rendl reopen from late June, the Verwall valley has the Verwallsee lake and easy family walking, and there are hundreds of kilometres of bike trails plus a nine-hole golf course at Nasserein.

In St. Anton, the village centre puts you a short walk from the Galzigbahn and the bars, and it is the liveliest. Nasserein, at the eastern end, is quieter and suits families, and its own gondola saves the walk to the main lift. Moos, Stadle and Dengert sit above the resort and are quiet, but steep in winter. Gand and Untergand are closest to the S16 exit. We drive to all of them, whatever the weather.

The nearest city to St. Anton is Innsbruck, the capital of the Tirol, 100 km east and about an hour and a quarter away by road or by train. The nearest town is Landeck, 30 km down the valley, where the motorway ends and the Stanzertal begins. For a bigger city, Zurich is 200 km west and Munich 230 km north, both measured to the airport.

The main events in St. Anton are the season opening in early December and Der Weisse Rausch at the close in late April, the mass downhill race from the Vallugagrat that has been run since 1923 and fills the resort for the weekend. Between them come the Christmas and New Year weeks, the February half-term, and a spring of closing parties on the mountain. Summer brings hiking and road-cycling weekends. We drive guests to all of it, and the busiest of those weeks are the ones to book early.

Yes, there are several ski schools in St. Anton, and the tradition is older here than anywhere else: Hannes Schneider founded the Skischule St. Anton in December 1921 and taught the technique that became modern skiing. Group and private lessons are available for adults and children, and the beginner areas at Nasserein and Gampen are gentle and easy to reach from the resort centre.

Yes, one Ski Arlberg pass covers St. Anton, Lech and Zürs, along with St. Christoph, Stuben, Warth, Schröcken and Klösterle — 300 km of pistes and 85 lifts on a single ticket. Since the Flexenbahn opened for the 2016/17 season you can ski from St. Anton to Lech and back in a day.

Yes, you can usually ski in St. Anton in April. The ski area rises to 2,811 m on the Valluga, high enough to hold snow when lower resorts are finishing, and the season normally runs to the last weekend of April. Mornings are firm and afternoons soft, so ski early and take a long lunch on a terrace.
