The short road goes through Germany
The usual way to Leogang leaves Austria at the Walserberg, runs 22 km through Bad Reichenhall on the German B 21 and comes back in at the Steinpass. Germany checks traffic entering from Austria, so carry a passport or ID card. The all-Austrian road by the Tauern motorway is about 120 km and about 1h 45min, and carriers keep it for days when the Lofer road is blocked.
The Lofer road uses no Austrian motorway, so it needs no vignette. Only the Tauern motorway fallback does.
About This Transfer
Your driver meets you in Salzburg Airport arrivals, the skis or bikes go into the back once, and the car heads west for the border at the Walserberg. It crosses into Bavaria on the B 21, runs through Bad Reichenhall and Schneizlreuth, and re-enters Austria at the Steinpass. From there it follows the B 178 up the Saalach to Lofer and the B 311 south past St. Martin and Weißbach to Saalfelden.
At Saalfelden the car turns west onto the B 164 for the last 8 km into the Leoganger Tal. The whole run is about 70 km and takes about 1h 10min in ordinary traffic. None of it is Austrian motorway, so there is no vignette to buy.
The catch is the 22 km in Germany, where entry controls on traffic from Austria are planned to run to 15 March 2027. On a bad day, carriers switch to the all-Austrian road: the A 10 Tauern motorway to Knoten Pongau and the B 311 past Zell am See. It is about 50 km longer, about 35 minutes slower, and it needs the vignette.
Leogang is the Skicircus entrance from the Saalfelden side, with lifts at Hütten that link to Saalbach, Hinterglemm and Fieberbrunn, and in summer the same lifts carry the bike park. If you are staying up the Glemmtal instead, our Salzburg Airport to Saalbach Hinterglemm page covers that drop, and our ski resort transfers page explains what skis, bikes and group size do to a quote. Flying into Munich instead? The Munich Airport to Leogang page covers the longer drive over the Grießenpass.
- ✓ Lofer road through 22 km of Germany, no vignette
- ✓ About 70 km and 1h 10min to Leogang
- ✓ Drop at your hotel, the Asitz or the Steinberg lift
Sights Along the Route
Your driver covers the distance while you enjoy the scenery.
Bad Reichenhall
The road through Germany runs straight through Bad Reichenhall, the Bavarian salt and spa town. The Alte Saline shows how its brine springs were worked. On a summer arrival with time in hand it is worth a stop, as long as you ask your carrier when you book, because waiting time is priced, not assumed.
Bad Reichenhall →Lamprechtshöhle
A show cave directly on the B 311 between St. Martin and Weißbach, billed as the longest through-cave in the world. About 700 m of it is open to visitors, by 392 steps, and a visit takes 1 hour 30 minutes. It sits on the road the transfer drives anyway.
Lamprechtshöhle →Mining and Gothic Museum, and the show mine
The Bergbau- und Gotikmuseum in Hütten, the old mining village by the Asitz lift, tells how medieval mining and Gothic art fit together, and the show mine in Schwarzleo takes you into the workings themselves.
Museum Leogang →Epic Bikepark Leogang
Founded in 2002, and home to a round of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup every year since 2010. The 2027 round is on 11 to 13 June 2027. The 2026 season ran from 8 May to 8 November 2026, and the 2027 dates are not out yet. Bikes count as luggage, so say how many when you book.
UCI World Cup Leogang →Route Overview
Pickup: Salzburg Airport (SZG)
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board. The road west starts minutes from the terminal, and the border at the Walserberg is the first landmark. Give your carrier the flight number so it can track the landing, and declare ski bags, board bags and bikes when you book, not at the curb.
Popular Pickup Points:
- • Arrivals hall meet and greet with a name board
- • Flight monitoring, so a late landing does not lose you the car
- • Salzburg city hotel pickups on the same route
- • Skis, boards and bikes declared at booking, vehicle sized to match
Drop-off: Leogang, Pinzgau, SalzburgerLand
Leogang sits at 788 m in the Leoganger Tal, under the Leoganger Steinberge, whose highest peak, the Birnhorn, reaches 2,634 m. Hotels and apartments spread along the B 164, and the lifts are west of the village center: first the Steinberg lift, then the Asitz at Hütten, about 3 km out. Give the carrier the address, and if you are heading straight to the snow or the trails, name the lift.
Popular Drop-off Points:
- • Hotels, apartments and chalets in Leogang
- • Asitz lift base, Hütten 39
- • Steinberg lift base
- • Leogang or Leogang-Steinberge station
Local Route Knowledge
Practical intelligence from carriers who drive this route regularly.
Best Travel Times
Weekday arrivals run cleanest. Busy Saturdays, school holidays and heavy snow make any drive into the Pinzgau longer, and no one publishes by how much. The Skicircus season is planned from 27 November 2026 to 4 April 2027, and single lifts start at 8.00 am, so a morning landing can still mean an afternoon on the Asitz. Tell the carrier the day and the flight, and it plans the drive around both.
Traffic Patterns
Most of the drive is ordinary main road: the B 21 through Bad Reichenhall, the B 178 along the Saalach to Lofer and the B 311 down to Saalfelden. It is the same road the public bus 260 takes. When the Lofer road is blocked, carriers go round by the A 10 and the B 311 past Zell am See, about 120 km and about 1h 45min. The Hochkönig road over the Dientner Sattel and the Filzensattel is the other way in, and it is a pass road.
Road & Border Notes
The standard route leaves Austria for 22 km. It enters Germany at Kleiner Walserberg and comes back at the Steinpass, and Germany's entry controls on traffic from Austria are planned to run to 15 March 2027. No Austrian motorway is used, so no vignette is needed. Austria requires winter equipment in wintry conditions from 1 November to 15 April, and Germany requires winter tires on the B 21 whenever there is ice, snow or slush.
Carrier Tip
Say which Leogang you mean. A hotel address is enough for most people; a skier or rider who wants to go straight up should name the Asitz or the Steinberg lift. Declare skis, boards and bikes when you book, because they decide the vehicle. Carry a passport or ID card in the car, not in the hold bag.

Price & Vehicle Options
A private transfer from Salzburg Airport to Leogang starts from around €150 one way. The price is per vehicle, not per person, so two people and four people pay the same base fare. Declare skis, snowboards and bikes when you book, because a saloon that seats three does not take three ski bags or a bike.
| Vehicle | Seats | Luggage | From | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Sedan / Saloon | 1-3 | 2-3 bags | from €150 | Couples and solo travelers, soft luggage |
 Estate / Comfort | 1-4 | 4 bags | from €170 | A pair of ski bags, or a boot bag each |
 Minivan / Van | 5-8 | 8 bags | from €210 | Families, ski groups and riders with bikes |
 Minibus | 8-16 | group | from €285 | Club trips, bike crews and whole-chalet parties |
Prices are per vehicle, one way and indicative, and the carrier confirms them before you pay. They change with the calendar: a Saturday in February costs more than a Tuesday in November. TransferBnB is a request-for-offers marketplace, so you compare real quotes from carriers who want the job, not a published tariff.

Important Information
Meeting your driver at Salzburg Airport
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board. Give your carrier the flight number so it can track the landing and adjust the pickup. The car is on the road west within minutes of the bags going in.
The border and your passport
The standard route runs 22 km through Germany, from Kleiner Walserberg to the Steinpass. Germany checks traffic entering from Austria, and those controls are planned to run to 15 March 2027. Everyone in the car should carry a passport or national ID card. The all-Austrian road avoids the border but is about 50 km longer.
Vignette and tolls
The Lofer road uses no Austrian motorway, so no vignette is needed. If the carrier has to take the A 10 Tauern motorway instead, a 1-day vignette is €9.60 in 2026, and on a transfer the carrier normally pays it.
Winter tires and chains
In Austria, from 1 November to 15 April, cars must have winter equipment when conditions are wintry. Chains may replace winter tires only on a road fully or almost fully covered in snow or ice. Germany requires winter tires on the B 21 in ice, snow or slush, with no date window. A carrier working this road in winter is equipped for both.
Skis, boards and bikes
Declare ski bags, board bags and bikes when you book. They decide the vehicle: a saloon carrying three passengers will not also carry three hard ski cases, and a bike needs a van or a rack. For a group of four with equipment, an estate or a minivan is usually the right request.
Child seats
Child and booster seats are available on request. Put the ages in the booking notes, not just the number of children, because the ages decide the seat type, and ask when you request offers rather than after you accept one.
Waiting time and a delayed flight
Carriers on TransferBnB monitor the inbound flight and adjust the pickup, so a delayed landing does not cost you the car. Free waiting time after landing varies by carrier and is stated in the offer you accept.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a transfer from Salzburg Airport to Leogang take?
About 1 hour 10 minutes in ordinary traffic. The route is the Lofer road: the B 21 through Bad Reichenhall in Germany, the B 178 to Lofer, the B 311 to Saalfelden and the B 164 into Leogang, about 70 km. Busy Saturdays, school holidays and heavy snow make it longer. The Asitz and Steinberg lifts are a few minutes beyond the village center.
How far is Leogang from Salzburg Airport?
About 70 km by the Lofer road through Bad Reichenhall, the route transfers normally take. The all-Austrian road by the A 10 Tauern motorway and Zell am See is about 120 km.
Does the drive from Salzburg Airport to Leogang go through Germany?
Yes, on the usual route. The Lofer road leaves Austria at Kleiner Walserberg, runs 22 km on the German B 21 through Bad Reichenhall and re-enters Austria at the Steinpass. Germany's entry controls on traffic from Austria are planned to continue to 15 March 2027, so carry a passport or ID card. A transfer can take the all-Austrian A 10 and B 311 instead, which is about 50 km longer and about 35 minutes slower.
Do I need a vignette to drive from Salzburg Airport to Leogang?
Not on the usual route. The Lofer road uses no Austrian motorway, so no vignette is needed. Only the all-Austrian alternative on the A 10 Tauern motorway needs one, and a 1-day vignette costs €9.60 in 2026. On a private transfer the carrier normally pays it.
Is there a bus or train from Salzburg Airport to Leogang?
Not directly. Bus 260 runs from the airport along the Lofer road to Saalfelden, and bus 690 or a train covers the last stretch to Leogang. On Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 November 2026 the best daytime journey is timetabled to leave the airport at 09:49 and reach Leogang at 11:31, 1 hour 42 minutes with one change. The direct train to Leogang leaves from Salzburg Hbf, not the airport, and takes 1 hour 51 minutes. Overnight guests who pre-check-in can travel on the Guest Mobility Ticket. A private transfer takes about 1 hour 10 minutes with no change and stops at your door.
Can a transfer drop me at the Asitz or Steinberg lift in Leogang?
Yes. Both lift bases are west of the village center on the B 164, the Asitz about 3 km out, and the Leoganger Bergbahnen at Hütten are the Leogang entrance to the Skicircus. Tell the carrier which lift you want when you book.
What does a private transfer from Salzburg Airport to Leogang cost?
On TransferBnB, carrier offers start from around €150 for a saloon carrying 1 to 3 passengers, rising to around €170 for an estate, €210 for a minivan seating 5 to 8, and €285 for a minibus. Prices are per vehicle, not per person, and indicative until a carrier confirms the quote.
When is the 2026/27 ski season in Leogang?
Ski operation in the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn is planned from 27 November 2026 to 4 April 2027, subject to change. Peak season runs from 19 December 2026 to 12 March 2027, when an adult day pass costs €82.00. The ski area has 270 km of slopes and 70 lifts.
Is Salzburg or Munich the better airport for Leogang?
Salzburg, for the drive. Leogang is about 70 km and about 1h 10min from Salzburg Airport, against about 190 km and about 2h 25min from Munich Airport. Check flights into both, but the ground leg from Salzburg is well under half the distance.
Why Book This Route?
- • One car from arrivals to your Leogang door in about 1h 10min, against two buses and a change at Saalfelden
- • Dropped at the lift you name, the Asitz or the Steinberg, not just in the village
- • The short road through Germany with no vignette, or the all-Austrian road when the carrier judges it better
- • Skis, boards and bikes loaded once, in a vehicle sized for them
- • Priced per vehicle, not per head, so a group compares one minibus fare against a stack of bus tickets

What our customers say
Driver was already outside arrivals when we landed in Geneva - he'd tracked the flight and knew we'd come through early. Three sets of skis loaded and we were on the road to Chamonix before most passengers had cleared customs.
Thomas B. - London, UK Good experience. Chose from three offers for Munich Airport to Kitzbühel, picked the one with the best rating. Straightforward.
Marta R. - Munich, Germany Four of us split the cost from Zurich Airport to St. Anton and came out cheaper than the shared shuttle per person - plus we went straight to the chalet door instead of stopping at every hotel in the valley. Hadn't expected it to work out that way but it did.
Olivier D. - Lyon, France Travelled with two small kids and a lot of luggage from Rome Fiumicino. I mentioned the stroller in the booking notes and the driver showed up with a large estate. No fuss.
Sarah K. - Dublin, Ireland Eight people, Geneva to Verbier, all ski gear. One minibus, one price, door to chalet. We paid less per person than the shuttle and didn't have to share with anyone else.
Pieter V. - Amsterdam, Netherlands I book private transfers for work fairly regularly across different platforms. What TransferBnB does differently is that you get the driver's name, direct number, vehicle, and plate before you travel - not just a confirmation number. For business trips where timing matters, that's the part that actually counts.
