The first train reaches the terminal at 07:55

The earliest rail journey from St. Johann in Tirol to Munich Airport leaves at 04:34 and arrives at 07:55, with three changes. It was the same on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday of the ski season's first weekend, on the timetable queried for 5 to 7 December 2026. The first two-change journey leaves at 06:27 and arrives at 09:15. For an early flight that leaves little room once Munich Airport's advice is applied, which is to add about 50% to the check-in time your airline recommends. A booked car collects you at your door when the flight requires.

The winter timetable after 12 December 2026 is not yet in the ÖBB planner. Check it before relying on a train.

About This Transfer

The car pulls up at your hotel in St. Johann, the ski bags go in the back, and you head west on the B 178 under the Wilder Kaiser, past Going, Ellmau and Scheffau to Söll. St. Johann in Tirol to Munich Airport is about 160 km and 1h 55min in free flow: the B 173 over the Eiberg to Kufstein Süd, 5.4 km of the Austrian A 12 to the border at Kiefersfelden, then the A 93 down the Inn valley, the A 8 from Rosenheim, the A 99 round Munich and the A 92 to the departures kerb. You load once, at your door, and unload once, at your terminal.

The border is on this leg. Germany's controls apply on entry into Germany, ADAC names Kiefersfelden among the crossings from Austria most affected, and ADAC reports the controls planned to run to 15 March 2027. The vignette is not an issue: the car joins the motorway at Kufstein Süd, inside the stretch that needs none. A carrier who takes the Wörgl Ost road instead adds 14 km and about 15 minutes, and needs a vignette.

The train runs from the station in town, 1.4 km from the main square, and the quickest journeys take 2 hours 48 minutes with two changes, such as the 06:27 arriving at 09:15. For an earlier flight the choice is the 04:34 arriving at 07:55, or the 05:34 arriving at 08:57, with three changes at the weekend and all the luggage at every one.

🎬On the B 178, leaving St. Johann

The Bergdoktor villages

The first stretch runs under the Wilder Kaiser past Going, Ellmau, Scheffau and Söll, the four villages where Der Bergdoktor is filmed every summer. On a late-afternoon flight there is time for a short stop in Ellmau; on an early one, it is the view from the window.

Wilder Kaiser →
🛡️Kufstein, at the motorway

Kufstein Fortress

The fortress stands above the Inn in Kufstein, where the car joins the motorway at Kufstein Süd. It opens daily from 09:00 to 18:00 in summer, last entry 17:00, and from 10:00 to 17:00 from 3 November 2026 to 20 March 2027, last entry 16:00. On a summer departure with an evening flight it is the natural last stop in Austria, just before the border.

Festung Kufstein →
⛷️Oberndorf and the Eichenhof

A last morning on the Kitzbüheler Horn

The St. Johann lifts run daily from 08:30 to 16:00, from Oberndorf, close to the centre, and from the Eichenhof, until 29 March 2027. With a late flight and a car booked to your door, a last morning on the slopes is possible; with a train, it usually is not.

Route Overview

Pickup: St. Johann in Tirol, Kitzbühel district, Tyrol

The driver collects you at your hotel or apartment in St. Johann, Oberndorf or Kirchdorf. Give the street address, not just St. Johann: the town has a pedestrian zone in the centre, and the other St. Johann, in the Pongau, is 85 km away by road. Agree the pickup time from your flight time, not from the drive time alone.

Popular Pickup Points:

Hotels and apartments in the town
Oberndorf and the Eichenhof side
St. Johann in Tirol railway station
Kirchdorf and the Leukental

Drop-off: Munich Airport (MUC)

The driver drops you at the departures kerb of your terminal. At Terminal 2 the departure lane is on Level 4. Munich Airport's own advice is to add about 50% to the check-in time your airline recommends, so give the carrier your flight time and let the pickup be set from that.

Local Route Knowledge

Practical intelligence from carriers who drive this route regularly.

🕐

Best Travel Times

The busy departures are the weekends that end holiday periods: the Dutch Kerstvakantie ends on Sunday 3 January 2027, and the Dutch spring holidays end on Sunday 21 February in the south and Sunday 28 February 2027 in the north and centre. Nobody publishes a Saturday drive time for this road, so build the margin into the pickup time rather than trusting a free-flow figure.

🚦

Traffic Patterns

The first stretch is state road: the B 178 through the Sölllandl and the B 173 over the Eiberg to Kufstein Süd. The Eiberg road is one of Tyrol's busiest state roads in winter. After Kufstein Süd it is motorway all the way: the A 12 to the border, then the A 93, A 8, A 99 and A 92.

🛣️

Road & Border Notes

There is one border, at Kiefersfelden, and on this leg it matters. Germany's controls apply on entry into Germany, ADAC lists Kiefersfelden among the crossings from Austria where waits are common, and it reports the controls planned to run to 15 March 2027. ADAC gives no wait time, so none is quoted here. The fastest route joins the A 12 at Kufstein Süd and needs no vignette. Winter tyre law runs from 1 November to 15 April for cars in wintry conditions.

💡

Carrier Tip

Give the carrier your flight time, not a pickup time you have worked out yourself, and let them set the pickup with the border in mind. If your flight is early in the morning, a car is the only way to the terminal without a pre-dawn train and three changes. Tell them St. Johann in Tirol and the street, and say whether you want the Kufstein Süd routing, which needs no vignette.

Price & Vehicle Options

A private transfer from St. Johann in Tirol to Munich Airport starts from around €190 one way. The price is per vehicle, not per person. Declare skis, snowboards and boot bags when you book, because they decide which vehicle comes.

VehicleSeatsLuggageFromBest for
Sedan / Saloon1-32-3 bagsfrom €190Couples and solo travellers with soft luggage
Estate / Comfort1-44 bagsfrom €220A pair of ski bags, or a boot bag each

Minibus8-16groupfrom €415Club trips and whole-chalet groups

Prices are per vehicle, one way and indicative, and the carrier confirms them before you pay. A Saturday in the St. Johann high season, 19 December 2026 to 10 January 2027 and 1 February to 12 March 2027, costs more than a weekday in June.

When to Travel This Route

Demand, pricing, and what to expect across the year.

❄️

Winter (Dec-Mar)

Peak Demand

The weekends that end the Dutch holidays are the ones to plan round: Sunday 3 January 2027 for the Kerstvakantie, and Sundays 21 and 28 February 2027 for the spring holidays. The St. Johann lifts run until 29 March 2027, daily to 16:00. Germany's border controls at Kiefersfelden are planned to run to 15 March 2027, so the winter departures fall inside them.

  • Dutch Kerstvakantie ends 3 January 2027
  • Hahnenkamm Races, Kitzbühel, 18 to 24 January 2027
  • German border controls planned to 15 March 2027
🌸

Spring (Apr-May)

Low Demand

The St. Johann lifts close on 29 March 2027. Winter tyre law still applies to 15 April, so an early April departure goes with a carrier that has them fitted.

  • Lifts close 29 March 2027
  • Winter tyre period ends 15 April
  • No lifts running after 29 March
☀️

Summer (Jun-Aug)

Medium Demand

St. Johann's roughly 520,000 overnight stays a year are split about evenly between summer and winter, so summer departures are as much a part of this road as ski ones. Kufstein Fortress, open daily from 09:00 to 18:00, is the natural stop on an afternoon flight day.

  • Kufstein Fortress open daily 09:00 to 18:00
  • Bergdoktor filming in the Wilder Kaiser villages
  • Guest card covers the local trains and Okto Bus
🍂

Autumn (Sep-Nov)

Low Demand

Autumn is the quietest season for departures. Austrian winter tyre law starts on 1 November and applies whenever the road is wintry, so a November departure goes with a carrier that already has winter tyres fitted.

  • Winter tyre period starts 1 November
  • Ski area opens 4 December 2026
  • Border controls continue at Kiefersfelden

Important Information

When to Leave for Your Flight
Work back from your flight, not forward from the drive. Munich Airport's own advice is to add about 50% to the check-in time your airline recommends. On top of that comes the drive, about 1h 55min in free flow, and the German border at Kiefersfelden, where ADAC reports controls on entry and gives no wait time. Give the carrier your flight time and terminal and let them set the pickup.
Border Controls at Kiefersfelden
Germany checks traffic entering from Austria, and ADAC names Kiefersfelden, on the A 93 from Kufstein to Rosenheim, among the crossings most affected. ADAC reports the controls planned to run to 15 March 2027, planned rather than decided. There is no published wait time, which is why the pickup carries a margin.
Tolls and the Austrian Vignette
The fastest route needs no vignette: it joins the A 12 at Kufstein Süd, and the A 12 from Kufstein Süd to the border is vignette-free. A route via Wörgl Ost is 14 km longer, about 15 minutes slower, and needs a vignette for about 11 km of motorway; at 2026 prices, valid from 1 December 2025, that is €9.60 for one day or €12.80 for ten. From 2027 the vignette is digital only.
Skis, Snowboards and Luggage
Declare skis, snowboards and boot bags when you book. Pricing is per vehicle, so equipment decides the vehicle rather than the price per person. A saloon that seats four does not take four ski bags. By rail, the ÖBB luggage service has to be booked at least 3 working days ahead and only with an ÖBB ticket.
Child Seats
Carriers on this route provide child seats on request. Put each child's age in the booking notes, because German and Austrian law both require the right seat for the child, and confirm it is in the offer before you pay.
Winter Roads and Tyres
Austrian winter tyre law runs from 1 November to 15 April, and a car needs winter tyres whenever the road is wintry. A coach must have them fitted from 1 November to 15 March whatever the weather. The B 173 over the Eiberg is one of Tyrol's busiest state roads in winter, so an early departure on a snowy morning leaves room for it.
Which Timetable These Figures Come From
The rail times on this page come from the ÖBB journey planner, queried on 22 September 2026 for Saturday 5 to Monday 7 December 2026, the first weekend of the St. Johann ski season. The planner does not yet return cross-border journeys for January 2027. Check the current timetable before you travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get from St. Johann in Tirol to Munich Airport?
About 1 hour 55 minutes by car in free-flow traffic, for around 160 km, routed on OpenStreetMap data: the B 178 and the B 173 over the Eiberg to Kufstein Süd, the A 12 to the border at Kiefersfelden, then the A 93, A 8, A 99 and A 92 to the airport. The St. Johann tourist board gives about 2 hours from the airport; its 135 km figure is measured from Munich city, not the airport. By train the quickest journeys take 2 hours 48 minutes with two changes, on the timetable for early December 2026.
What is the first train from St. Johann in Tirol to Munich Airport?
The 04:34 from St. Johann in Tirol, arriving at Munich Airport at 07:55 with three changes, on the ÖBB timetable for Saturday 5 to Monday 7 December 2026. The next is the 05:34, arriving 08:57, with three changes at the weekend; on the Monday a 04:59 arrives at 08:15. The first journey with only two changes is the 06:27, arriving 09:15. For an early flight a private transfer collects you at your door and takes about 1 hour 55 minutes, without the changes.
Do I need an Austrian vignette to drive from St. Johann in Tirol to Munich Airport?
No, not on the fastest route. It takes the B 178 and the B 173 over the Eiberg to Kufstein Süd and joins the A 12 there, and the A 12 from Kufstein Süd to the German border is vignette-free. Only the slower route via Wörgl Ost, 14 km longer and about 15 minutes slower, needs one, at €9.60 for one day or €12.80 for ten at 2026 prices.
Are there border controls at Kiefersfelden when driving from Austria to Munich Airport?
Yes. Germany carries out controls on entry from Austria, and ADAC names the Kiefersfelden motorway crossing, on the A 93 from Kufstein to Rosenheim, among the crossings most affected, with waits common. ADAC reports the controls planned to run to 15 March 2027. No wait time is published, so let your transfer carrier set a pickup time with a margin for the border.
What time should I leave St. Johann in Tirol for a flight from Munich Airport?
Work back from the flight. Munich Airport advises adding about 50% to the check-in time your airline recommends. Add the drive, about 1 hour 55 minutes in free flow, and a margin for the German border check at Kiefersfelden, for which no wait time is published, and for Saturday traffic in the ski season. Give a transfer carrier your flight time and terminal and let them set the pickup. By train, the first arrival at the airport is 07:55.
Can I get from St. Johann in Tirol to Munich Airport by public transport early on a Sunday?
Yes. On the ÖBB timetable for Sunday 6 December 2026 the 04:34 from St. Johann in Tirol arrives at Munich Airport at 07:55, and the 05:34 at 08:57, both with three changes on that Sunday. The first two-change journey is the 06:27, arriving at 09:15. For an early flight, that leaves little room once check-in time is added. A private transfer leaves your door when your flight requires and takes about 1 hour 55 minutes.
Which airport is best to fly home from if I am staying in St. Johann in Tirol?
Salzburg is the nearest and fastest: about 64 km and 1 hour 05 minutes by road from St. Johann in Tirol, against 99 km and 1 hour 25 minutes to Innsbruck and 160 km and 1 hour 55 minutes to Munich. Munich is about 50 minutes further than Salzburg by road, and travellers choose it for its much wider choice of flights. Whichever you fly from, a private transfer takes you from your door to the departures kerb.
Can I take skis and snowboards in a transfer from St. Johann in Tirol to Munich Airport?
Yes, but declare them when you book. Your equipment decides which vehicle the carrier sends, because a saloon that seats four does not take four ski bags. Pricing is per vehicle, so the number of bags changes the vehicle rather than the price per person. By rail, every change means carrying the skis, and the ÖBB luggage service must be booked at least 3 working days ahead.
How much does a St. Johann in Tirol to Munich Airport transfer cost?
From around €190 for a saloon, one way. An estate starts from €220, a minivan from €280 and a minibus from €415. Prices are per vehicle, not per person, so a group shares one fare. The fastest route needs no vignette. TransferBnB is a request-for-offers marketplace: you post the trip with your flight time, passengers and luggage, and verified carriers send offers you compare before you pay. A Saturday in high season costs more than a weekday in June.

What our customers say

Thomas B. — London, UK

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.

Marta R. — Munich, Germany

Good experience. Chose from three offers for Munich Airport to Kitzbühel, picked the one with the best rating. Straightforward.

Olivier D. — Lyon, France

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.

Sarah K. — Dublin, Ireland

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.

Pieter V. — Amsterdam, Netherlands

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.

Anna-Lisa M. — Vienna, Austria

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.
