Munich Airport to Sölden Transfer

The Munich Airport to Sölden route takes you from Bavaria directly into the Austrian Alps via a straightforward motorway corridor, then climbs one of the most scenic valley roads in Europe. You'll head east on the A8 from Munich Airport, merge south onto the A93 at Rosenheim, and cross into Austria at Kufstein. From there, the A12 Inn Valley Autobahn carries you west toward Landeck and Ötztal. You'll exit at Haiming, where the journey becomes distinctly alpine.

The final stretch—38 kilometers up the B186 Ötztal valley road—is the only road access to Sölden and gives you one of the most dramatic approaches in the Alps. This single-lane valley road climbs 1,200 meters from the valley floor (650m) to Sölden village (1,377m) and then to Hochsölden (1,750m). It's well maintained year-round, though winter conditions can occasionally cause delays or brief closures during heavy snow.

Sölden sits on top of two glaciers, Rettenbach and Tiefenbach, which open to skiers from mid-October each year, making it one of the first major resort openings in the Alps. The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup races on Rettenbach Glacier every October or November create a spike in transfer demand during that period. Sölden thrives year-round: winter brings glacier skiing, while summer opens hiking, mountain biking, and alpine cycling.

A Schengen border crossing at Kufstein means EU citizens typically pass through with minimal delay. All TransferBnB carriers carry an Austrian motorway vignette (currently €12.80 for a 10-day pass), which is mandatory on the A12 and included in your transfer cost.
