About This Transfer
You drop into the back seat at Terminal 1 or 2, and within minutes the airport is behind you and the road is pointing south, toward the sunny high plateau where Seefeld sits at 1,180m above the Inn valley. The run from Munich Airport to Seefeld in Tirol is about 130km and 1h 45min door to door, from around EUR 180 for a car - and it ends at your hotel on the plateau, not at a station down the mountain.
Munich Airport sits northeast of the city, so the drive starts by skirting Munich on the ring, then settles onto the A95 southbound past Lake Starnberg and Murnau toward the mountains. At the end of the motorway the B2 carries you through Garmisch-Partenkirchen, under the Zugspitze, and on to Mittenwald, the violin-making town at the foot of the Karwendel. Just beyond, the road crosses into Austria at Scharnitz and climbs the B177 over the Seefelder Sattel onto the plateau - Seefeld, Leutasch, Mösern and Reith spread across a shelf of meadow and forest high above the Inn.
Seefeld is Tirol's genteel plateau resort, and its calling card is cross-country skiing: some 245km of prepared loipe fan out across the plateau, and the village has hosted Olympic Nordic events and the 2019 Nordic World Ski Championships. There is downhill too, on the Rosshütte and Gschwandtkopf slopes, but the mood is unhurried - a walking, spa and Langlauf resort as much as an alpine one, with an upmarket main street, a casino, and long views to the Karwendel and Wetterstein ranges. Its altitude keeps the plateau snow-sure and sunny through the winter.
One practical note. This is a cross-border run, from Germany into Austria at Scharnitz, but an easy one: both countries are in the Schengen Area, so there is no routine passport control, and both are in the EU customs union, so nothing is checked at the line - carry a passport or ID card in case of a spot-check and that is the extent of it. And there is a small bonus: because this routing takes the B-roads through Garmisch and over the Scharnitz pass rather than the Austrian motorway, no vignette is required - German roads carry no car toll and the pass road is free. In deep winter the B2 through Garmisch and the climb over the Sattel slow behind snow clearing - your driver knows the timing and plans the pickup around it.

Sights Along the Route
Your driver covers the distance — you enjoy the scenery.
Lake Starnberg
The A95 runs down past Lake Starnberg, the long glacial lake south of Munich where the city keeps its sailing boats and lakeside villas, and where the Bavarian Alps first rise on the horizon across the water. It is the moment the drive shifts from city outskirts to lakes-and-mountains country.
Starnberg lakes tourism →Garmisch-Partenkirchen & the Zugspitze
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is Germany's premier alpine resort, twin market towns under the Zugspitze - the country's highest peak at 2,962m. The B2 threads through the middle of it, past the ski jump and the old painted houses, the highest mountains in Germany filling the windscreen before the road bends toward the border.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen tourism →Mittenwald & the Karwendel
Mittenwald is the last German town before Austria, famous for three hundred years of violin making and for its façades painted in Lüftlmalerei frescoes, tucked under the sheer grey wall of the Karwendel. It marks the point where the valley narrows and the road turns to climb the border pass onto the plateau.
Mittenwald & Karwendel →Scharnitz & the Seefeld Plateau
Just over the border at Scharnitz, the B177 climbs the Seefelder Sattel onto the plateau - a sunlit shelf of meadow and pine at 1,180m, ringed by the Karwendel and Wetterstein. Seefeld and its neighbours Leutasch, Mösern and Reith spread across it, laced with cross-country trails and long alpine views.

Local Route Knowledge
Practical intelligence from carriers who drive this route regularly.
Best Travel Times
Weekday arrivals run cleanest. The pinch is the winter Saturday changeover and the B2 through Garmisch, which draws its own day-tripper and ski traffic on top of the Seefeld guests - both bunch up from late morning. A midweek or Sunday arrival, or an early Saturday flight, sidesteps the worst of it. The Munich ring (A99) also slows in weekday rush hours.
Traffic Patterns
The A95 flows freely, and the slow points are the B2 through Garmisch - a single-carriageway town road that backs up on winter weekends - and the climb over the Scharnitz pass after snow. Fresh snowfall near the pass, not sheer volume, is the usual cause of delay. Carriers watch the Garmisch bottleneck and the forecast and adjust the pickup time.
Road & Border Notes
One border, crossed at Scharnitz - Germany into Austria, both in Schengen and the EU customs union, so it is open with no routine check; carry ID all the same. This routing needs no Austrian vignette - it stays on the B-roads over the pass - and German roads are toll-free. Winter tyres or chains are standard on the Seefelder Sattel from November, and the pass climb slows behind ploughs after heavy snow.
Carrier Tip
Flag your ski and board bags when you book, not on the day - and note if they are cross-country skis, which pack differently. Load space is what trips groups up: a car that seats four does not always swallow four bags of gear plus a week of luggage, so name the count and the carrier sends an estate, a minivan, or a vehicle with a roof box. Give your exact village - Seefeld, Leutasch, Mösern or Reith - so the drop is spot on.

Demand, pricing, and what to expect across the year.
Winter (Dec-Mar)
Peak SeasonThe plateau's altitude keeps it snow-sure and sunny, and the 245km of cross-country loipe and the Rosshütte alpine slopes fill from December to March. Nordic events and the February half-term pack Munich arrivals and the B2 through Garmisch - book early for any winter Saturday and reserve the right ski-bag space with it.
- Cross-country and alpine season in full swing (Dec-Mar)
- Nordic World Cup and citizens' races on the plateau (winter)
- February peak weeks - European school holidays
Spring (Apr-May)
Low SeasonThe snow softens and the season winds down, and the plateau turns to a quiet spring of clear air and easy roads. Availability opens right up, the Garmisch bottleneck eases, and the meadows green before the summer walkers arrive. A calm window in the mountains.
- Season closing on the Rosshütte slopes (April)
- Alpine spring on the Seefeld plateau
Summer (Jun-Sep)
ModerateSummer is Seefeld's other high season - hiking and road cycling across the plateau, golf on its two courses, and the Wildsee and Möserer See lakes for swimming. Demand is steady rather than heavy, so a car is easy to get, and the Garmisch and Karwendel roads are at their most scenic with the passes fully open.
- Plateau hiking and road-cycling season (Jun-Sep)
- Seefeld golf on two plateau courses (summer)
Autumn (Oct-Nov)
Low SeasonThe quietest stretch, between the summer trails and the first snow. The larches turn gold across the plateau and the villages are calm, with good value and easy booking before the Langlauf season rebuilds toward December.
- Golden autumn on the plateau (October)
- First snow and early loipe preparation (November)
