Kitzbühel from Innsbruck Airport
Along the Inntal motorway and through the Brixental to the "chamois town" at 762 m. Right to your accommodation, including in the traffic-calmed old town.
The route
From the airport we head east on the Inntal motorway to the Wörgl Ost exit. From there are two ways to Kitzbühel: along the Loferer Straße past Söll, Scheffau, Ellmau and Going am Wilden Kaiser to St. Johann in Tirol, which is regularly congested, or our preferred route through the Brixental, past Hopfgarten im Brixental, Westendorf, Brixen im Thale and Kirchberg in Tirol.
The Brixental route is usually quieter than the Loferer Straße and well built, even though it is the valley’s only through road. That shortens the journey.
In winter the road is open throughout, and snow is no great challenge for our experienced drivers and our vehicles fully equipped for winter.
Kitzbühel itself is at 762 m, the ski areas much higher. The town is best known for the Hahnenkamm races on the Ski World Cup, held every January. At that time expect much more traffic to and from Kitzbühel, and we allow more time accordingly.
The old town, with the Vorderstadt and Hinterstadt, is largely traffic-calmed. Shuttles and taxis may drive in with a permit if your accommodation is there.
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 and stays the same however many people travel. Once you factor in time and group size, it compares very well with public transport, where everyone pays and you rarely get straight to your destination.
Kitzbühel has its own railway station, reached from Innsbruck via Wörgl. With light luggage and a small group, the train can be an alternative, and we mean that.
The effort: from the airport you first take a bus into the city to the main station. From there it is a regional train, or a much pricier express, to Wörgl. In Wörgl you change to a bus or regional train to Kitzbühel, and from the station you still have to get to your accommodation.
When you travel
One date stands above all others in Kitzbühel’s winter: Hahnenkamm weekend in January. Hotels are fully booked, there are countless parties and plenty of famous faces, and the access roads are jammed throughout.
For that weekend we recommend booking your transfer as early as possible. Not because of the price, which stays the same, but so that a vehicle is available for you. We plan the journey times accordingly, so your arrival is stress-free.
The ski season runs from December to April. Saturday is the classic changeover day, with traffic to match. The region is a year-round destination, and in summer the international tennis tournament is the highlight. We drive the route all year.
The fixed price is the same at any time of day.
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.
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, with no need to call us. We wait 60 minutes free of charge after landing, which covers passport control and baggage reclaim.
Innsbruck Airport is small and the walk is short. There is usually less than half an hour between landing and setting off, though it can take longer when it is busy.
Please switch off flight mode on your mobile phone once you land, so we can reach you.
The return journey: Kitzbühel 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.
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.
We plan with reserve on departure day. Innsbruck Airport has winter departure peaks that produce queues at check-in, and on Hahnenkamm weekend leaving town is slower than usual too. We set the pickup time earlier and agree it with you when you book.
Easily confused
Kitzbühel is also the name of the district it is the capital of. This page means the town. All other villages in the district with ski and hiking areas are separate routes with their own fixed price.
Kirchberg in Tirol to the west, Jochberg and Pass Thurn to the south, and Reith bei Kitzbühel. St. Johann in Tirol, to the north-east, is also often confused with Kitzbühel, though it has its own ski area.
If you are not sure which village your accommodation belongs to, the hotel name is enough when you book.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Innsbruck Airport to Kitzbühel take?
The drive through the Brixental covers just over 100 km and takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. The road is well built, so journey times hardly vary, even in winter. The exception is Hahnenkamm weekend.
Do you run transfers on Hahnenkamm weekend?
Yes, at the same fixed price. Book early for that week, though, because demand is concentrated into a few days. We plan more driving time on those days and collect earlier to match.
My hotel is in the old town. How does that work?
The Vorderstadt and Hinterstadt are largely traffic-calmed. Shuttles and taxis have a permit to drive in, so we take you right to your accommodation.
Do you also drive to Westendorf, Kirchberg in Tirol and Reith bei Kitzbühel?
Yes, we drive to these places too. They lie on or near the route to Kitzbühel, but are separate routes with their own fixed price.
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 the booked village, 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.
