Work backwards from the flight
Salzburg Airport asks passengers to be there two hours before departure, and ski or board bags go to the regular check-in counter, not self bag drop. The drive from Leogang is about 1h 10min. Add those together and a pickup 3h 10min before the flight is the least you should agree to. On a winter Saturday or after snowfall, allow more.
Give your carrier the flight number, not a pickup time. It knows the road and the border, and will set the time from the flight.
About This Transfer
The car collects you at your Leogang door, or at the lift if you have skied the morning, the bags go in once, and the next stop is Salzburg Airport departures. It runs east on the B 164 for 8 km to Saalfelden, then north on the B 311 past Weißbach and St. Martin to Lofer, and down the Saalach on the B 178 to the Steinpass.
There it crosses into Germany. The B 21 runs 22 km through Schneizlreuth and Bad Reichenhall, and the car comes back into Austria at Kleiner Walserberg, a few minutes from the terminal. The whole run is about 70 km and about 1h 10min in ordinary traffic, and it uses no Austrian motorway, so there is no vignette.
The catch on this leg is that the border comes early. Germany controls traffic entering from Austria, planned to 15 March 2027, and the Steinpass is where this road enters, so Germany may check you there. Keep passports or ID cards in the car, not in the hold bags, and let the carrier build the time in.
The public route back is a bus or train to Saalfelden and bus 260 from there to the airport, the same road through Germany, with one or two changes. A private car leaves when you do, from the door you name. If you are staying up the Glemmtal instead, our Saalbach Hinterglemm to Salzburg Airport page covers that pickup, and our ski resort transfers page explains how skis, bikes and group size change a quote. All the Salzburg routes are on the Salzburg Airport transfers page.
- ✓ About 1h 10min, pickup at least 3h 10min before the flight
- ✓ Collection from your hotel, the Asitz or the Steinberg lift
- ✓ Lofer road through 22 km of Germany, no vignette
Sights Along the Route
Your driver covers the distance while you enjoy the scenery.
A last morning on the Asitz
Single lifts in the Skicircus start at 8.00 am, and the Asitz lift base at Hütten is a few minutes beyond the village center. With an evening flight, a morning's skiing and a pickup at the lift is realistic, as long as the pickup time is set from the flight. From the Asitz the drive is about 3 minutes longer than from the village.
Skicircus →Lamprechtshöhle
A show cave directly on the B 311 between Weißbach and St. Martin, billed as the longest through-cave in the world. About 700 m is open to visitors and a visit takes 1 hour 30 minutes, so it only fits a late flight and a carrier told in advance, because waiting time is priced, not assumed.
Lamprechtshöhle →Bad Reichenhall
The last town before the airport is the Bavarian salt and spa town of Bad Reichenhall, where the Alte Saline shows how its brine springs were worked. On the way home most people pass straight through it.
Bad Reichenhall →Route Overview
Pickup: Leogang, Pinzgau, SalzburgerLand
The carrier collects from any Leogang address: a hotel or apartment along the B 164, the Steinberg lift, or the Asitz lift at Hütten 39, about 3 km west of the village center. Say which one when you book. The car can wait while you change out of ski boots if that is agreed in the offer.
Popular Pickup Points:
- • Hotels, apartments and chalets in Leogang
- • Asitz lift base, Hütten 39
- • Steinberg lift base
- • Leogang or Leogang-Steinberge station
Drop-off: Salzburg Airport (SZG) departures
The car comes back into Austria at Kleiner Walserberg and drops at departures a few minutes later. Salzburg Airport asks for two hours before departure. Ski and board bags go to the regular check-in counter, not self bag drop, so a group with equipment should not arrive at the last minute.
Popular Drop-off Points:
- • Departures drop at the terminal
- • Regular check-in counter for ski and board bags
- • Be at the airport two hours before departure
- • Passport or ID card at hand for the German stretch
Local Route Knowledge
Practical intelligence from carriers who drive this route regularly.
Best Travel Times
Weekday departures run cleanest. Busy Saturdays, school holidays and heavy snow make the drive longer, and no source publishes by how much, so on a winter Saturday add time to the 3h 10min minimum rather than subtracting from it. Ski operation is planned to end on 4 April 2027.
Traffic Patterns
The road is main road the whole way: the B 164 to Saalfelden, the B 311 and B 178 along the Saalach, the B 21 through Bad Reichenhall. When the Lofer road is blocked, carriers go round by the B 311 past Zell am See and the A 10 Tauern motorway, about 120 km and about 1h 45min, which pushes the pickup earlier.
Road & Border Notes
The standard route leaves Austria for 22 km. On this leg it enters Germany at the Steinpass and comes back at Kleiner Walserberg, and Germany's entry controls on traffic from Austria are planned to run to 15 March 2027. No Austrian motorway is used, so no vignette is needed; the A 10 fallback needs one. Austria requires winter equipment in wintry conditions from 1 November to 15 April, and Germany requires winter tires on the B 21 in ice, snow or slush.
Carrier Tip
Give the flight number, not a pickup time, and say whether you are leaving from the hotel or the lift. Declare skis, boards and bikes when you book. Keep every passport or ID card in the cabin of the car, because Germany may check traffic entering at the Steinpass, before Bad Reichenhall.

Price & Vehicle Options
A private transfer from Leogang to Salzburg Airport starts from around €150 one way. The price is per vehicle, not per person, so two people and four people pay the same base fare. Declare skis, snowboards and bikes when you book, because a saloon that seats three does not take three ski bags or a bike.
| Vehicle | Seats | Luggage | From | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Sedan / Saloon | 1-3 | 2-3 bags | from €150 | Couples and solo travelers, soft luggage |
 Estate / Comfort | 1-4 | 4 bags | from €170 | A pair of ski bags, or a boot bag each |
 Minivan / Van | 5-8 | 8 bags | from €210 | Families, ski groups and riders with bikes |
 Minibus | 8-16 | group | from €285 | Club trips, bike crews and whole-chalet parties |
Prices are per vehicle, one way and indicative, and the carrier confirms them before you pay. They change with the calendar: a Saturday in February costs more than a Tuesday in November. TransferBnB is a request-for-offers marketplace, so you compare real quotes from carriers who want the job, not a published tariff.

Important Information
When to be collected
Salzburg Airport asks for two hours before departure, and the drive from Leogang is about 1h 10min. So the pickup is at least 3h 10min before the flight: for a 15:00 flight, 11:50 at the latest on a clear weekday. From the Asitz lift, add about 3 minutes. On a winter Saturday or after snowfall, go earlier.
The border and your passport
The standard route runs 22 km through Germany, entering at the Steinpass and leaving at Kleiner Walserberg. Germany checks traffic entering from Austria, and those controls are planned to run to 15 March 2027. Everyone in the car should carry a passport or national ID card, in the cabin, not in a hold bag.
Vignette and tolls
The Lofer road uses no Austrian motorway, so no vignette is needed. If the carrier has to take the A 10 Tauern motorway instead, a 1-day vignette is €9.60 in 2026, and on a transfer the carrier normally pays it.
Skis, boards and bikes at check-in
Ski and board bags go to the regular check-in counter at Salzburg Airport, not self bag drop. Declare them, and any bikes, when you book the transfer, because they decide the vehicle.
Child seats
Child and booster seats are available on request. Put the ages in the booking notes, not just the number of children, because the ages decide the seat type.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a transfer from Leogang to Salzburg Airport take?
About 1 hour 10 minutes in ordinary traffic. The route is the Lofer road: the B 164 to Saalfelden, the B 311 and B 178 to the Steinpass, and the German B 21 through Bad Reichenhall to the airport, about 70 km. Busy Saturdays, school holidays and heavy snow make it longer.
What time should I leave Leogang for my flight from Salzburg Airport?
At least 3 hours 10 minutes before departure: about 1 hour 10 minutes on the road plus the two hours Salzburg Airport asks for. For a 15:00 flight that is a pickup at 11:50 at the latest on a clear weekday. On a winter Saturday, after snowfall or with ski bags to check in, go earlier.
Does the drive from Leogang to Salzburg Airport cross the German border?
Yes, on the usual route. The Lofer road enters Germany at the Steinpass, runs 22 km on the B 21 through Bad Reichenhall and re-enters Austria at Kleiner Walserberg, just before the airport. Germany's entry controls on traffic from Austria are planned to continue to 15 March 2027, so keep a passport or ID card in the car. The all-Austrian road by Zell am See and the A 10 is about 120 km and about 1 hour 45 minutes.
Do I need a vignette for the drive from Leogang to Salzburg Airport?
Not on the usual route. The Lofer road uses no Austrian motorway. Only the all-Austrian alternative on the A 10 needs a vignette, €9.60 for one day in 2026, and on a private transfer the carrier normally pays it.
Is there a bus from Leogang to Salzburg Airport?
Not directly. The public route is a bus or train to Saalfelden and bus 260 from there to the airport, with one or two changes. On Tuesday 1 December 2026 the earliest journey is timetabled to leave Leogang at 06:39 and reach the terminal at 08:31, 1 hour 52 minutes, so a 10:00 flight cannot be made by public transport if you keep to the airport's two hours. Those are sample times for early December; the winter timetable may differ. A private transfer takes about 1 hour 10 minutes and leaves when you do.
Can a transfer collect me from the Asitz lift after a last morning of skiing?
Yes. Single lifts in the Skicircus start at 8.00 am, and the Asitz lift base at Hütten 39 is about 3 minutes further from the airport than the village center. Set the pickup from the flight time, not from the last run, and agree any waiting time in the offer.
What does a private transfer from Leogang to Salzburg Airport cost?
On TransferBnB, carrier offers start from around €150 for a saloon carrying 1 to 3 passengers, rising to around €170 for an estate, €210 for a minivan seating 5 to 8, and €285 for a minibus. Prices are per vehicle, not per person, and indicative until a carrier confirms the quote.

What our customers say
Driver was already outside arrivals when we landed in Geneva - he'd tracked the flight and knew we'd come through early. Three sets of skis loaded and we were on the road to Chamonix before most passengers had cleared customs.
Thomas B. - London, UK Good experience. Chose from three offers for Munich Airport to Kitzbühel, picked the one with the best rating. Straightforward.
Marta R. - Munich, Germany Four of us split the cost from Zurich Airport to St. Anton and came out cheaper than the shared shuttle per person - plus we went straight to the chalet door instead of stopping at every hotel in the valley. Hadn't expected it to work out that way but it did.
Olivier D. - Lyon, France Travelled with two small kids and a lot of luggage from Rome Fiumicino. I mentioned the stroller in the booking notes and the driver showed up with a large estate. No fuss.
Sarah K. - Dublin, Ireland Eight people, Geneva to Verbier, all ski gear. One minibus, one price, door to chalet. We paid less per person than the shuttle and didn't have to share with anyone else.
Pieter V. - Amsterdam, Netherlands I book private transfers for work fairly regularly across different platforms. What TransferBnB does differently is that you get the driver's name, direct number, vehicle, and plate before you travel - not just a confirmation number. For business trips where timing matters, that's the part that actually counts.
