Munich Airport Transfers to German & Austrian Alps

Munich Airport (MUC), Flughafen München, is Germany's second-busiest airport and a major European hub. Located 28 km northeast of Munich city centre, it serves millions of passengers each year and is the natural gateway for skiers travelling to the Bavarian and Austrian Alps—not the French Alps, which are much farther away. From MUC you can reach Germany's best-known resort (Garmisch-Partenkirchen), Austria's largest linked areas (SkiWelt, Skicircus, Arlberg), and dozens of smaller Bavarian and Austrian resorts within 1–3 hours.

Why Munich Airport for German & Austrian Alps Ski Transfers?

Munich offers excellent flight connections and direct motorway access into the Alps. The closest ski areas are in Bavaria (Germany): Brauneck, Sudelfeld, Spitzingsee–Tegernsee, Oberaudorf, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen—all within about 77–108 km (~1h 15min–1h 45min). Slightly farther, Austrian resorts such as SkiWelt (140 km), Kitzbühel (170 km), Zillertal (180 km), and the Arlberg (200–220 km) are very popular with skiers flying into Munich. We offer fixed-price private transfers to all of these with flight tracking, ski equipment included, and door-to-door service.
