Munich Airport to Alpbach

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal with a name board. Confirm the terminal with your carrier as well as the flight number. Terminal 2 arrivals are on Level 03. The kerb lanes at both terminals allow 10 minutes free, twice per calendar day, and charges start from the third entry, so the driver usually parks and comes in to meet you.

This route needs an Austrian vignette. The A 12 is vignette-free only from the border to Kufstein Süd, and the drive to Alpbach stays on it for about 26 km more, to the Kramsach exit. At 2026 rates, valid from 1 December 2025, 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.

Your carrier monitors the flight and moves the pickup to match. By public transport a delay costs more: miss the last same-night connection in the late afternoon and the next arrival is the following morning. Give the carrier your flight number and terminal, and confirm what waiting time is included.

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, and lorries over 3.5 t and buses must carry snow chains from 1 November to 15 April. The last 9 km climb the valley on the L 5, a road that has existed only since 1926.

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

About 170 km and 1 hour 55 minutes in free-flow traffic, routed on OpenStreetMap data from the airport to the village centre. The route is the A 92, A 9, A 99, A 8 and A 93 to the border at Kiefersfelden, the Austrian A 12 to the Kramsach exit, then about 11 km through Brixlegg and up the valley. 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 airport to the village is about 50 km and 35 minutes more. Allow extra for traffic and the season.

Yes, on the fastest route. The A 12 Inntal motorway is vignette-free only from the German border to the Kufstein Süd junction, and the route to Alpbach stays on the motorway for about 26 km beyond it, to the Kramsach exit. 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 a clear margin. Routed on OpenStreetMap data to the village centre, 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 170 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 to your door.

No. No railway reaches Alpbach, and no scheduled public bus runs through from the airport. The nearest stations are Jenbach, Wörgl and Brixlegg, and the last leg is a regional bus from Brixlegg station that takes 21 minutes. On the ÖBB planner, every sampled journey from Munich Airport to Alpbach has at least 3 changes. A private transfer makes the trip in one vehicle, about 1 hour 55 minutes to your door.

From 3 hours 15 minutes, with three changes. Queried on the ÖBB planner for Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December 2026, departures from Munich Airport every two hours from 07:04 each reach Alpbach 3 hours 15 minutes later, the 13:04 at 16:19. Guests with a reservation confirmation ride the regional bus from the station free. A private transfer takes about 1 hour 55 minutes and does not change.

Not after late afternoon. On the ÖBB timetable for 5 and 6 December 2026, the 17:04 from Munich Airport is the last departure that reaches Alpbach the same night, arriving at 20:19, because the last bus from Brixlegg station leaves at 19:58. On the Saturday the 19:44 from the airport arrives at 07:19 the next morning, and on the Sunday nothing later than the 17:04 arrives before Monday. A private transfer leaves when your bags are off the belt, whatever the hour.

The two lifts above Alpbach, the Wiedersbergerhornbahn and the Pöglbahn, plan to run from 4 December 2026 to 4 April 2027, subject to change. Lift pass prices follow three periods: Pre-Season from 4 to 18 December 2026, Peak Season from 19 December 2026 to 12 March 2027, and Late Season from 13 March to 4 April 2027.

Yes, once the connecting gondola is running. Alpbach is part of the Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau, 114 km of pistes across four mountains and two valleys, and a connecting gondola joins the Alpbachtal side to the Wildschönau side. For winter 2026/27 that gondola is planned to start in mid-December 2026, after the lifts above Alpbach open on 4 December, so in the first days of the season the two valleys ski separately.

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, and lorries over 3.5 t and buses must carry chains from 1 November to 15 April. A booked carrier is already compliant. The route is motorway to Kramsach, then about 11 km of valley road through Brixlegg.

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.
