Alpbach to Munich Airport

The driver comes to your street address. Say whether you are in Alpbach village or in Inneralpbach, about 4 km further up the valley by the Pöglbahn, and have the luggage ready at the door.

Germany controls entry at Kiefersfelden, on the motorway, and ADAC lists the crossing among those most affected by waits. It reports the controls planned to run to 15 March 2027 and gives no wait time. Keep passports or ID cards to hand.

This route needs an Austrian vignette for about 26 km of the A 12, from Kramsach to Kufstein Süd; from there to the border the motorway is vignette-free. At 2026 rates a vignette for a car costs €9.60 for 1 day or €12.80 for 10 days, and from 2027 only the digital vignette will exist. Ask your carrier to confirm it is in the quote. A toll-free way round exists, the B 171 from the Kufstein Süd exit, and it is roughly 10 to 15 minutes slower in free flow.

Declare skis, snowboards and boot bags when you book, not on the day. Pricing is per vehicle, so equipment changes which vehicle the carrier sends rather than the price per person. A saloon does not take a ski bag for every seat.

Carriers on this route provide child seats on request, but you need to book them. Put each child's age in the booking notes, because a booster and a rear-facing infant seat are different equipment. Confirm the seat is in the offer before you pay.

On the timetable for 5 and 6 December 2026, the first public journey of the day leaves Alpbach at 06:11 on the Saturday and reaches the airport at 09:15; on the Sunday the first leaves at 08:06 and arrives at 11:55. A private transfer runs at any hour, including the hours before the first bus.

Austrian winter tyre law runs from 1 November to 15 April. A car up to 3.5 t needs winter tyres in wintry conditions, marked M+S, M.S. or M&S or with the snowflake symbol. A coach must have winter tyres fitted from 1 November to 15 March regardless of the weather. The first 9 km run down the valley on the L 5 before the motorway.

The bus and train times on this page come from the ÖBB journey planner, queried on 9 October 2026 for Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December 2026. Check the current timetable before you travel.

About 1 hour 55 minutes by car in free-flow traffic, for about 169 km, routed on OpenStreetMap data from the village centre to the airport. The route is about 11 km down the valley through Brixlegg to the Kramsach junction, the A 12 to the border at Kufstein, then the A 93, A 8, A 99, A 9 and A 92 to the terminals. The figure of 120 km and 80 minutes that circulates for Munich Airport is the distance from the city of Munich to the Alpbach valley; the village to the airport is about 50 km and 35 minutes more. Allow extra for the border check into Germany.

For a 12:00 flight, leave Alpbach no later than 08:05, and earlier to allow for the border: the drive is about 1 hour 55 minutes in free flow and this page allows two hours at the airport. Work back the same way from your own flight, using your airline's check-in deadline and a margin for the German entry control at Kiefersfelden. With a private transfer you give the carrier your flight time and terminal, and the carrier sets the pickup.

Only for a late-morning flight on a Saturday, and not on a Sunday. On the ÖBB timetable for 5 and 6 December 2026, the first journey on the Saturday leaves Alpbach at 06:11 and reaches Munich Airport at 09:15 with 3 changes. On the Sunday the first leaves at 08:06 and arrives at 11:55. With two hours in hand at the airport, that means no flight before 11:15 on the Saturday or before 13:55 on the Sunday. A private transfer runs at whatever hour you book it.

From 3 hours 04 minutes, with 3 changes, on the first Saturday departure. No railway reaches Alpbach, so every journey starts on a bus. On the ÖBB planner for Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December 2026, the 06:11 on the Saturday takes 3 hours 04 minutes; on both days the departures at 10:06, 12:06, 14:06, 16:06 and 18:06 take 3 hours 09 minutes with 3 changes, and the departures in the hours between take 3 hours 49 minutes with 3 or 4 changes. The last departure is at 19:06. The planner flags the faster trains that weekend as guaranteed only with a seat reservation. A private transfer takes about 1 hour 55 minutes from your door.

Yes, going into Germany. The route crosses one border, on the motorway between Kufstein and Kiefersfelden, and Germany controls entry there. ADAC lists Kiefersfelden among the crossings most affected by waits and reports the controls planned to run to 15 March 2027. Carry a passport or ID card for every passenger.

Yes. The car joins the A 12 at Kramsach and uses about 26 km of vignetted motorway to Kufstein Süd; only the last stretch from Kufstein Süd to the German border is vignette-free. At 2026 rates a vignette for a car costs €9.60 for 1 day or €12.80 for 10 days. The toll-free way round is the B 171 from the Kufstein Süd exit, roughly 10 to 15 minutes slower in free flow. With a private transfer, ask the carrier to confirm the vignette is in the quote.

Innsbruck. By road, Innsbruck Airport is 59 km and about 55 minutes from Alpbach, Salzburg Airport 143 km and about 1 hour 40 minutes, and Munich Airport about 169 km and 1 hour 55 minutes. Munich is about 110 km and about an hour further than Innsbruck. Munich Airport lists 232 destinations in 72 countries. A private transfer covers any of the three from your door.

From around €190 for a saloon, one way. An estate starts from €215, a minivan from €270 and a minibus from €365. Those prices are per vehicle, not per person, so four people in a minivan pay under €70 each. TransferBnB is a request-for-offers marketplace: you post the trip with your flight, passenger count and ski bags, and verified carriers send offers you compare before you pay. A Saturday in peak season costs more than a weekday in June.

Austrian law requires winter tyres from 1 November to 15 April whenever the road is wintry, for cars up to 3.5 t, marked M+S, M.S. or M&S or with the snowflake symbol. A coach must have winter tyres fitted from 1 November to 15 March regardless of the weather. A booked carrier is already compliant. The route is about 11 km of valley road from Alpbach to Kramsach, then motorway to the airport.
