About This Transfer
Mayrhofen sits at the end of the Zillertal — a broad, well-signposted valley that branches south from the Inn Valley at Jenbach. A private transfer from Munich Airport covers the ~157 kilometres in around 1 hour 45 minutes, making it one of the shorter ski resort transfers from MUC and one of the most straightforward: a single motorway run to Kufstein, a short stretch of the Inn Valley motorway to Jenbach, then a direct run south down the Zillertal on the B169.
In winter, Mayrhofen is home to the Zillertal Arena — 169 km of prepared runs spanning four valleys — and the Hintertux Glacier, accessible by bus or car from Mayrhofen and one of the few glaciers in Europe open for skiing year-round. Lift access from the village is direct. The resort draws a mixed crowd: families in early and late season, and a notably international, younger audience for the spring festival calendar, above all Snowbombing (6–11 April 2026), which bills itself as Europe's biggest ski and music festival. Transfers for Snowbombing fill up weeks in advance.
Summer in Mayrhofen is a different but equally busy story. The Zillertal is one of Austria's most popular hiking and cycling destinations, and the valley's cable cars run through the warmer months. Demand for transfers holds up well outside the ski season.
The cross-border crossing from Germany into Austria near Kufstein is a Schengen crossing — no routine passport control, though occasional spot checks happen on this busy corridor. Austrian motorway vignette required for the A8 and A12 sections. Most carriers include this in the quoted price; confirm at booking.

Sights Along the Route
Your driver covers the distance — you enjoy the scenery.
Kufstein Fortress
Austria's welcoming monument on the Inn River. The fortress has stood here since 1205 — it's visible from the A93 motorway and makes a worthwhile 20-minute stop.
Official site →Achensee — Tirol's Largest Lake
A turquoise alpine lake tucked between steep forested hillsides, just east of the Zillertal turn-off. The lake is popular with windsurfers and kayakers in summer, and ski tourers in winter.
Achensee tourism →Zillertal Steam Railway
The narrow-gauge Zillertalbahn has run through the valley since 1902. You'll see it alongside the road as you head up toward Mayrhofen — the traditional steam trains still run certain routes and are a charming sight.
Railway info →Mayrhofen — Zillertal's Ski Capital
The resort at the head of the Zillertal is known for the Harakiri — Austria's steepest ski slope at 78% gradient. The après-ski scene and the Penken gondola are legendary among the freestyle and party ski crowd.

Best Travel Times
The Zillertal (B169) from Strass to Mayrhofen is a valley road through populated towns — allow 50–60 min for the final 40km rather than the 30 min suggested by navigation apps, especially during peak season Saturdays.
Traffic Patterns
A93 as standard (Kiefersfelden). The B169 Zillertal road has traffic lights and village speed limits through Zell im Zillertal and other towns — don't underestimate travel time here. Summer cycling events can slow the final stretch.
Road & Border Notes
Austrian vignette required. No extra tolls. Valley road is well-maintained. The final approach into Mayrhofen is flat and easy even in heavy snow conditions.
Carrier Tip
Mayrhofen has multiple ski areas on both valley walls — the Penken (main village side) and Horberg/Ahorn. Specify which area your accommodation is near so your carrier can advise on the best drop-off point.
