Lermoos from Innsbruck station
From Innsbruck main station across the sunny Mieming plateau and over the Fernpass to Lermoos, with views of the Tyrolean Zugspitze. One hour ten minutes, no changes.
The route
From Innsbruck main station the drive takes the Inntal motorway to the Telfs West exit, then climbs onto the Mieming plateau and over the Holzleiten saddle to Nassereith. It continues over the Fernpass at around 1,200 m to Biberwier. Beyond it the basin of the Lermooser Moos opens up at the foot of the Tyrolean Zugspitze, with Lermoos at 1,000 m.
The route is around 80 km and takes about 1 hour 10 minutes in normal traffic. The Fernpass is one of the main north-south links, with traffic to match, and in wintry conditions the drive takes noticeably longer. On those days, and on peak travel days when there are queues for hours in both directions on the Fernpass, we use less congested alternative routes. The fixed price stays the same.
Our vehicles carry full winter equipment from 1 November.
We drive to your accommodation anywhere in the municipality of Lermoos.
Private transfer vs. public transport
The private transfer picks you up right at the station and drives you to your accommodation, whatever time you arrive, 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 there is a rail connection from Innsbruck via Garmisch-Partenkirchen on the Ausserfern railway to Lermoos, changing in Garmisch. Trains on this line are infrequent, and if you arrive in Innsbruck after a long train journey, you may have a long wait for your connection.
When you travel
Lermoos is part of the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. The Grubigstein ski area is right in the village, and the Ehrwalder Alm lift and the Tyrolean Zugspitze cable car are only a few minutes away.
In winter Lermoos also has one of the largest cross-country skiing areas in the region. The ski season usually runs from mid-December to early April.
Lermoos is a popular holiday destination in summer too, so we drive the route all year.
If you come to Innsbruck on the night train from Amsterdam, Düsseldorf or Hamburg, the private transfer gets you to Lermoos by mid-morning, leaving the rest of the day for the slopes.
The fixed price applies at any time of day.
Arrival and meeting point
Your driver will be waiting with a name sign in the station hall at the main entrance onto Südtiroler Platz. Before you travel we send you the vehicle’s make, model and registration, along with your driver’s name and phone number.
Please always give your train number and planned arrival time in Innsbruck when you book. From the agreed pickup time your driver waits 15 minutes free of charge. If your train is running late, please call your driver straight away so they know.
The return journey: Lermoos to Innsbruck main station
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 plan differently for a train than for a flight. There is no check-in, but a train does not wait either. On busy travel days we expect queues on the Fernpass and take an alternative route. Please also give us your train’s departure time from Innsbruck when you book, so we can plan enough time.
Easily confused
Lermoos, Ehrwald and Biberwier lie close together in the same basin and are often mentioned in the same breath, especially Ehrwald and Lermoos. Ehrwald is a separate transfer with us, though.
The Zugspitze is known as Germany’s highest mountain, with sights such as the Eibsee and the Höllental gorge near Grainau. But it is a border mountain between Germany and Austria, and on the Tyrolean side lie Ehrwald, Lermoos, Biberwier and, further north-west, Berwang.
This route covers Lermoos only.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Innsbruck main station to Lermoos take?
Over the Fernpass it is 80 km, about 1 hour 10 minutes in normal traffic. On busy travel days we take an alternative route. The fixed price stays the same.
What happens if my train is late?
Call your driver so they know, and your transfer stays in place.
Where do I meet my driver?
In the station hall at the main entrance onto Südtiroler Platz, with a name sign.
Is the Fernpass open in winter?
Yes. The Fernpass is one of the most important north-south links and stays open in winter. In heavy snow, as on busy travel days, it becomes a traffic hotspot. When both come together, traffic can barely move for hours. In that case we take an alternative route.
Can I cancel free of charge?
Yes, up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup.
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.
