Serfaus from Innsbruck Airport
Up onto the sunny plateau above the upper Inn valley. A special place, with the shortest underground railway in the world.
The route
From Innsbruck Airport the drive heads west on the Inntal motorway to the Reschenpass, Meran, St. Moritz exit. From there the main road runs through the Landeck tunnel, almost seven kilometres long, into the upper Inn valley as far as Ried.
At Ried the climb begins: twelve kilometres, twelve hairpins and almost 600 metres of height gain, first up to Fiss and then on to Serfaus at around 1,400 metres. The road is reliably cleared and open throughout the winter. Our vehicles carry full winter equipment from 1 November onwards.
The whole village is traffic-calmed. Private cars may only enter with a permit issued at the village entrance. Shuttles and taxis are always allowed through.
Where we drop you
Because shuttles and taxis can always drive through Serfaus, we can reach any address, including those in the traffic-calmed zone. Give us the exact address or hotel name when you book.
Private transfer vs. public transport
The private transfer leaves the arrivals hall at the booked time and drives straight to your accommodation. Child seats are provided free of charge, and your gear and luggage are stowed safely at no extra cost. Please tell us the number and ages of the children on the day of travel when you book, so we can have the right seats and the right vehicle ready.
The fixed price is per vehicle, not per person: two people pay the same as seven, gear and luggage included. For a family, that almost always comes in below the combined individual fares.
By public transport the route runs from the airport by bus to Innsbruck main station or the Westbahnhof, by train to Landeck-Zams and by local bus up to Serfaus. Add the changes and the waits for connections.
On this route luggage is what really counts, because Serfaus is one of Tyrol’s most popular family destinations. Travelling with children, child seats, ski gear and suitcases turns public transport into a real logistical exercise, and after a tiring flight it is the part of the trip that sticks in the memory.
Arrival and meeting point
Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall 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.
Always give us your flight number when you book. We then track your flight in real time and allow for delays, diversions and early landings automatically. We wait 60 minutes free of charge after landing, which covers passport control and baggage reclaim.
Please switch off flight mode on your mobile phone once you land, so we can reach you.
The return journey: Serfaus to Innsbruck 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.
On departure day we plan particularly generously, 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.
Easily confused
The ski area is marketed as Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis and run jointly by the three villages. This page covers Serfaus only. Fiss and Ladis sit on the same plateau but are separate destinations, each with its own fixed price.
Frequently asked questions
Can you drive into Serfaus?
Shuttles and taxis can always drive through Serfaus. Private cars need a permit, issued at the village entrance. We drive you to your accommodation, including in the traffic-calmed centre.

Around 1 hour 15 minutes for roughly 90 kilometres. The final stretch from Ried climbs through twelve hairpins and takes longer in winter conditions.
Do you also drive to Fiss or Ladis?

How do I pay?
Your choice: online when you book, or on arrival, paying your driver in cash or by card (except American Express). The price is the fixed price confirmed when you booked. If you change the destination during the drive to an address outside the municipality of Serfaus, we adjust the price.
