Neustift im Stubaital from Verona Airport
From Verona along the Brenner motorway, over the Brenner to the Schönberg toll station and into the Stubaital to Neustift, the last municipality on the way to the glacier.
The route
From Verona Airport the drive takes the Brenner motorway north, past Trento, Bolzano, Bressanone and Vipiteno to the Brenner Pass. It continues on the Austrian Brenner motorway to the Schönberg toll station and from there into the Stubaital to Neustift, the valley’s main village and the last municipality on the way to the Stubai Glacier.
At around 270 km the route is long, and the drive takes about 3 hours 15 minutes.
In winter the whole route is easy to drive with winter equipment, and on peak travel days we allow more time. Our vehicles carry full winter equipment from 1 November.
The Brenner is an internal Schengen border. Checks are not routine, but they do happen. The Italian motorway tolls, the Brenner toll and the Austrian vignette are all included in the fixed price and never added on afterwards.
We drive to your accommodation anywhere in the municipality of Neustift im Stubaital, not just to the village centre.
Private transfer vs. public transport
The private transfer runs straight from the arrivals hall to your accommodation, whatever time you land, with no changes and no hauling gear and luggage between trains and buses.
The fixed price is per vehicle, not per person: two people pay the same as seven, gear and luggage included. The longer the route, the further it comes in below the cost of individual public transport tickets.
By public transport you first take a bus from the airport to Verona Porta Nuova, the city’s main station. A train then runs to the Brenner, where, depending on the train and timetable, you change to an Austrian regional train. From the Brenner it goes to Innsbruck main station, and from there a bus runs into the Stubaital.
With ski gear, luggage and children, after what may have been a tiring flight, that becomes a real challenge. Ticket prices also vary a lot depending on how fast you want to get there.
When you travel
The Stubai Glacier is one of several glacier ski areas in Tyrol, with a season that usually starts in October and runs into June. Neustift also has the small Elfer ski area, where the season is shorter (December to April).
The Stubaital is a sought-after holiday destination in summer too. We drive to the Stubaital all year.
The Brenner motorway is one of the most important north-south links and is regularly congested on travel days. We then allow more time for a stress-free drive.
The fixed price is the same at any time of day.
Arrival and meeting point
Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall at Verona Airport with a name sign. Before you travel we send you the vehicle’s make, model and registration, along with your driver’s name and phone number.
Give us your flight number when you book and we will track your flight in real time. Delays, diversions and early landings are handled automatically. We wait 90 minutes free of charge after landing, which covers passport control and baggage reclaim. If you notice it is taking longer, please contact your driver so they know.
Please switch off flight mode on your mobile phone once you land, so we can reach you.
The return journey: Neustift im Stubaital to Verona Airport
The return journey also has a fixed price, just like the outbound. We collect you from your departure address. You are welcome to book the return when you book your outbound transfer, or at a later date.
We time the pickup so that you reach the terminal around two hours before your flight. Please take an early pickup time seriously and do not push it back: your driver knows the route, the traffic and the road conditions, and our aim is to get you to your flight without stress.
On this route we plan generously on your day of departure, and even more on peak travel days.
The Brenner corridor is known for congestion and roadworks, so expect an earlier pickup time than on shorter transfers.
Easily confused
Neustift im Stubaital is not Neustift near Vahrn, Novacella in Italian, north of Bressanone in South Tyrol and known for its medieval abbey.
The name Neustift means “new foundation”, a newly founded religious house, and that applies to Neustift im Stubaital too.
Sat navs and hotel booking sites occasionally mix the two up.
Fulpmes and Mieders, at the entrance to the Stubaital, are separate destinations with their own fixed price.
A quick note: if you can fly to Innsbruck for the Stubaital, we recommend that route. From Innsbruck Airport it is only around 40 minutes’ drive. Verona is worth it if your flight connection is better or cheaper.
