Kitzbühel from Munich Airport

The route

There are four good routes from Munich Airport to Kitzbühel. On travel days, though, any of them can turn into a long haul. We keep an eye on the situation and choose the best one for your transfer.

All four first take the motorways to the Kiefersfelden/Kufstein crossing, an internal Schengen border between Germany and Austria. There are still delays here, because checks continue, especially when leaving Austria for Germany.

Route 1 goes straight through Kufstein after the border to the southern edge of town, then climbs the Eiberg road to Söll and continues through Scheffau, Ellmau and Going am Wilden Kaiser. After Going it turns right via Reith bei Kitzbühel to Kitzbühel. Alternatively this route can go via St. Johann in Tirol, but that section is very busy.

Route 2 stays on the Inntal motorway to Kufstein Süd and from there follows the Eiberg road like route 1.

Route 3 takes the Inntal motorway past Kufstein to the Kirchbichl/Langkampfen exit, then goes to Kirchbichl and along the Loferer Straße past Söll, and on like the other routes.

Route 4 is the longest, but a real alternative when traffic is very heavy. It stays on the Inntal motorway to Wörgl Ost, follows the Loferer Straße to the Brixental roundabout and goes through the Brixental via Hopfgarten im Brixental, Westendorf and Brixen im Thale to Kirchberg in Tirol. From there it is only a few kilometres to Kitzbühel.

In Kitzbühel the Vorderstadt and Hinterstadt are largely traffic-calmed, but shuttles and taxis have a permit to drive into these areas, right to your accommodation.

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 the trip from Munich is long, even though two well-timed S-Bahn lines leave the airport. One goes straight to the main station; the other goes to the east station, where you need another train to the main station. Only from Munich main station does the EuroCity run to Wörgl, and from there a regional train to Kitzbühel. With gear, luggage and children, and perhaps bad weather, that is a long trip with several changes.

When you travel

The ski season in Kitzbühel usually runs from mid October on the Resterkogel into April. The Hahnenkamm races take place in late January. That weekend Kitzbühel is full, the roads in are busy and some streets in town are closed. If you are arriving then, please agree the pickup time with us.

On travel days, especially Saturdays with the big changeover, the motorways towards Germany are usually heavily congested for a long time from Kufstein Süd, partly because of the border checks at Kiefersfelden.

After the border, as far as the Inntal junction near Rosenheim, things hardly improve. On such days through traffic is also banned from leaving the motorway. Shuttles and taxis are exempt, but once you are in the queue, it usually takes a long time to reach the next exit.

On those days we allow more time, to keep your journey stress-free.

The fixed price is the same at any time of day.

Arrival and meeting point

Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall of your terminal with a name sign. Munich Airport has two terminals, and the walk from the aircraft to the exit is considerably longer than at smaller airports. Your flight number tells us which terminal you are arriving at.

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. If you are flying in from outside the Schengen area, the UK for example, passport control at Munich can take longer. Call your driver if time is getting tight and they will keep waiting.

Please switch off flight mode on your mobile phone once you land, so we can reach you.

The return journey: Kitzbühel to Munich 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 the way back, Germany regularly checks traffic entering from Austria on the motorway at Kiefersfelden, and on busy travel days that can cause tailbacks. Add the long walks at Munich Airport, and we set the pickup time with a margin and agree it with you when you book.

Easily confused

Kitzbühel is not the Kitzsteinhorn, which is a glacier in the Salzburger Land near Zell am See and Kaprun.

Kirchberg in Tirol is right next to Kitzbühel and in the same ski area, but is a separate destination with its own fixed price.

If you fly to Innsbruck, you will also find our transfer to Kitzbühel on our website. From Innsbruck the route is around 70 km shorter. As an international hub, Munich offers more flights from more airlines.
