Munich Airport to Kitzbühel

No resort on the Alpine calendar carries quite the weight of Kitzbühel. Home to the Hahnenkamm - the most feared downhill run in the world - and a medieval Tyrolean town that has been drawing wealthy visitors since the 19th century, Kitzbühel is a year-round destination. A private transfer from Munich Airport gets you there in around 1 hour 45 minutes, door to door, without the two train connections or the stress of driving mountain roads yourself.

The route heads southeast from Munich on the A8 motorway, crosses the German-Austrian border near Rosenheim and continues through the Inn Valley past Kufstein and Wörgl before the final stretch south to Kitzbühel. It's a straightforward cross-border journey: Schengen rules apply, so there's no passport control for EU travellers, though occasional spot checks happen in winter and a valid ID is worth having. Your carrier handles the Austrian motorway vignette (currently €12.80 for 10 days), so there's nothing to sort at the border.

In winter, this is one of the busiest ski transfer routes in the Alps. Traffic builds significantly on Fridays, during Christmas and New Year, and especially around the Hahnenkamm Race - held every January, with 87,000 fans descending on the region for what many consider the most atmospheric week in ski racing. The 2026 race runs from 19 to 26 January. If you're travelling that week, book early and allow extra time. Outside of those peak periods, traffic is generally manageable.

Summer Kitzbühel is a different proposition. Over 1,000 km of hiking trails fan out from the town, including the KAT Walk - a six-stage route through the Kitzbüheler Alps. The Generali Open tennis tournament draws a stylish crowd in July. Mountain bikers have taken over the Streif. The Schwarzsee lake offers mineral-rich alpine swimming. Demand for transfers stays consistent through both seasons.

Carriers on this route can also accommodate nearby destinations: Kirchberg in Tirol (5 minutes, part of the same KitzSki area), St. Johann in Tirol (around 30 minutes), and other villages in the KitzSki network. Mention your exact destination when booking.
