Canazei from Innsbruck Airport
Over the Brenner and the Costalunga Pass into Val di Fassa, to Campitello di Fassa and Canazei at 1,465 metres. At a fixed price.
The route
From Innsbruck Airport the drive takes the Brenner motorway south over the Brenner Pass and on down the Wipptal and the Isarco valley towards Bolzano. At the Bolzano North exit we leave the motorway and climb through Val d’Ega to Nova Levante, then cross the Costalunga Pass and drop down into Val di Fassa.
Up the valley we pass Vigo, Pozza and Campitello on the way to Canazei at 1,465 metres.
The section through Val d’Ega, over the Costalunga Pass and down into Val di Fassa is winding and takes longer in winter conditions. We have already built that time in. Our vehicles carry full winter equipment from 1 November onwards, and our drivers know the road in all weathers.
The Brenner is an internal Schengen border. In principle there are no checks, but the authorities do carry out spot checks, so please keep your travel documents with you during the drive. Tolls and vignettes on every toll section of the route are included in the fixed price and never added on afterwards.
We drive to your accommodation, to any address in the municipalities of Canazei and Campitello di Fassa.
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, and Val di Fassa is a long way.
By public transport the journey takes the whole day: from the airport into town, by train over the Brenner to Bolzano and by bus into Val di Fassa, with several changes and timetables that pay no attention to flight times. If you land in Innsbruck in the late afternoon, you will struggle to reach Canazei the same day.
When you travel
Canazei sits at the head of Val di Fassa, at the foot of the Sella group, and is one of the four starting points for the Sella Ronda. Plenty of guests come specifically for it, and the peak weeks in February are especially popular.
The ski season usually runs from December to April, and Saturday is the busiest travel day. Like most Dolomite valleys, Val di Fassa has just one through road, where arriving and departing traffic meet on those days. We plan more time accordingly.
In summer Val di Fassa is just as popular, and we drive the route all year round.
Night arrivals cost the same as daytime ones.
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.
On this route the flight number matters even more. With a drive of several hours, we can only plan the departure properly if we know when you actually land.
Please switch off flight mode on your mobile phone once you land, so we can reach you.
The return journey: Canazei 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
Canazei and Campitello di Fassa are in Val di Fassa, Fassatal in German and Val de Fascia in Ladin. Ladin is a Rhaeto-Romance language and the mother tongue of many locals. The valley belongs to the province of Trento, not South Tyrol, and is reached over several Dolomite passes.
Other well-known villages sit on the same valley road, including Vigo di Fassa and Pozza di Fassa. They are a separate destination with their own fixed price. Canazei also includes Alba di Canazei and Penia, two hamlets a few kilometres further up the valley. Like Campitello di Fassa, they are covered by the fixed price on this page.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Innsbruck Airport to Canazei take?
Between two and three and a half hours, depending on road conditions and weather.
Are tolls and vignettes included?
Yes. Tolls and vignettes for every toll section on the way are included in the fixed price.
Are there border checks at the Brenner?
In principle no, since Austria and Italy are both in the Schengen area. The authorities can carry out spot checks, though, so please keep your travel documents with you during the drive.
Do you also drive to Campitello, Alba, Penia, Vigo or Pozza?
Yes. Campitello di Fassa, Alba di Canazei and Penia cost the same fixed price as Canazei. Vigo di Fassa and Pozza di Fassa share a fixed price of their own.
My flight lands late in the evening. Is that a problem?
Not at all, and there is no surcharge. We run around the clock, seven days a week.
Can I cancel free of charge?
Yes, up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. If the airline cancels your flight, you can cancel free of charge at any time, provided you send us the airline’s cancellation confirmation before you travel.
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 Canazei and Campitello, we adjust the price.
Are child seats available?
Yes, from infant carriers to booster seats, on request and at no extra charge. All seats meet the current UN R129 (i-Size) standard. Tell us the number and ages of the children on the day of travel when you book, so the right seats are fitted.
