Seefeld in Tirol from Bolzano Airport

The route

From the airport the drive takes the Brenner motorway north through the Isarco valley and the Wipptal, past Bressanone (Brixen) and Vipiteno (Sterzing) to the Brenner. After the border it continues down to Innsbruck and then west on the Inntal motorway to the Zirl Ost exit. From there the road climbs the Zirler Berg, with gradients of up to 16%, and runs through Leithen to Seefeld at 1,180 m.

The Zirler Berg is one of the steepest main roads in Austria, but with the right equipment it is easy to drive in winter. Our vehicles carry full winter equipment from 1 November.

Traffic there does regularly stall, though: the section is often underestimated, and time and again vehicles that are banned from it, such as lorries over 7.5 t and vehicles with trailers, try it anyway.

From Bolzano it is around 140 km, which takes about 1 hour 45 minutes.

The Brenner is an internal Schengen border, so in principle there are no checks. The Italian and Austrian authorities can still carry them out, so please keep your travel documents with you during the drive.

Tolls on the way and the Austrian vignette are included in the fixed price and never charged on top.

We drive to your accommodation anywhere in the municipality of Seefeld.

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 take a bus from the airport to Bolzano main station or the Bolzano Fiera stop, then a train to the Brenner. Depending on the type of train, you change to an Austrian train at the Brenner. It then continues to Innsbruck main station, where you change again for the Mittenwald railway to Seefeld.

The connections are not bad on the whole, but the trip takes at least two and a half hours. If you travel alone with little luggage, the train can be an alternative.

When you travel

Seefeld is a popular holiday and day-trip destination all year round, including for day visitors from the Innsbruck area.

In winter there are well-groomed slopes and kilometres of cross-country trails. The Rosshütte and Gschwandtkopf ski areas are right in Seefeld and easy to reach.

In summer Seefeld is ideal for swimming, golf and hiking. We drive the route all year.

On peak travel days the route between Bolzano and Seefeld is very busy in both directions. 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 for you in the arrivals hall with a sign with your name. Bolzano Airport is small and lies on the southern edge of the city. 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 45 minutes free of charge after landing, which covers baggage reclaim and any passport control.

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

The return journey: Seefeld to Bolzano 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 your day of departure we allow extra time, as the route can be very busy depending on the day. In wintry conditions we allow even more.

Easily confused

Seefeld in Tirol is not Seefeld in Upper Bavaria, the municipality of the same name on the Pilsensee west of Munich.

Our route goes to Seefeld in Tirol on the Seefeld-Leutasch plateau.

Leutasch, Mösern, Reith bei Seefeld and Scharnitz belong to the Olympia Region Seefeld, where the Nordic events of the 1964 and 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympics and events of the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in 2012 took place. They are separate routes with their own fixed price, though.

If you can, we recommend flying into Innsbruck. From there Seefeld is about 30 minutes away. You will find our transfer from Innsbruck on a separate page.
