How to Get to Stuben am Arlberg: Transfers from Zurich, Munich and Innsbruck

22.05.2026

Stuben sits at the western edge of the Arlberg, 1,407 m above sea level, served by three international airports and one regional rail line. The right gateway depends almost entirely on where you are flying from.

This guide gives the answer for each of the three airports — Zurich, Munich and Innsbruck — with current driving distances, train options, and the practical notes that matter when planning a winter arrival in the Austrian Alps.

The short answer: which airport should you use?

If you only read one section of this guide, this is it.

You’re flying from Best airport Why
UK, USA, Asia, long-haul Zurich (ZRH) Best international flight options. Cleanest road and rail link.
Germany, Northern Europe Munich (MUC) Strong German hub. Drive is straightforward.
Within Austria, short-haul Europe Innsbruck (INN) Closest to Stuben. Shortest transfer time.
Driving from anywhere in Europe n/a — drive A14 / S16 directly into the Arlberg corridor.

From Zurich Airport (ZRH)

Zurich is the airport most international guests use. It has the widest selection of long-haul flights, a well-organised transfer infrastructure, and one of the more scenic drives into the Arlberg.

  • Distance: 195 km east of Zurich Airport
  • By car: Approximately 2 hours via the A3 to Sargans, then the A13 and A14 corridors. The route runs through Liechtenstein and along the upper Rhine valley before climbing into the Arlberg.
  • By train: Zurich HB to Langen am Arlberg directly on selected services, 2h 15min – 2h 45min. Then a 12-minute taxi or pre-booked transfer covers the final 8 km to Stuben.
  • Transfer cost: Private door-to-door transfers from Zurich Airport typically range from €350–€550 one-way for up to four passengers.

The Zurich route is the easiest of the three for guests unfamiliar with European driving, particularly in winter conditions. Roads are well-maintained and clearly signposted to the Arlberg from the moment you leave the airport.

From Munich Airport (MUC)

Munich is the strongest option for guests flying from within Germany or Northern Europe, where direct connections to Munich are often more frequent and better priced than to Zurich.

  • Distance: 235 km southwest of Munich Airport
  • By car: Approximately 2h 30min via the A96 to Lindau, then the A14 south through Vorarlberg and onto the S16 / E60 into the Arlberg corridor.
  • By train: Munich Hbf to Langen am Arlberg via Innsbruck or Bregenz, typically 4–4.5 hours depending on connection.
  • Transfer cost: Private transfers from Munich Airport are typically €450–€650 one-way.

In peak winter conditions the Tyrolean section of the route can be slower than the Zurich approach. Allow extra time around weekends, particularly Saturday change-over days when the entire ski region moves at once.

From Innsbruck Airport (INN)

Innsbruck is the closest airport to Stuben and the fastest transfer of the three. It is the natural choice for guests already within Austria, and for short-haul travellers from European hubs that fly into Innsbruck directly.

  • Distance: 100 km west of Innsbruck Airport

  • By car: Approximately 1h 15min via the A12 / S16 directly into the Arlberg. The most straightforward of the three drives.</p

  • By train: Innsbruck Hbf to Langen am Arlberg, 1h 15min – 1h 30min. The most efficient public-transport option.
  • Transfer cost: Private transfers from Innsbruck Airport are typically €220–€320 one-way.

Innsbruck has fewer long-haul options than Zurich or Munich, and winter weather can occasionally affect arrivals. For guests with flexible flight options, however, it is the shortest and least-stressful route.

Driving yourself: routes, tolls and winter tyres

A growing number of guests drive to Stuben from elsewhere in Europe. The route is well-signposted, the autobahn network is excellent, and the village has secure parking. Three points to know:

Austrian vignette: An autobahn toll sticker is required for all motorways in Austria. Buy a digital or physical vignette online or at the border before joining the A14 / S16 corridor.

Austrian Vignettes

Winter tyres are mandatory: From 1 November to 15 April, winter tyres or all-season tyres marked M+S are legally required on Austrian roads in wintry conditions. Hire-car bookings should specify winter tyres in advance.

Parking at Mondschein: On-site parking is available for guests. Let us know in advance if you are arriving by car so we can hold a space.

Transfer providers and arriving at Mondschein

For guests not driving, three options cover the door-to-door journey from airport to property:

Pre-booked private transfer: The most common choice for our guests. Door-to-door, fixed price, no rail-station handover. Most providers accept luggage with skis and operate winter-specification vehicles.

Train + final-leg taxi: The most cost-effective for solo travellers and couples. Take the train to Langen am Arlberg, then a 12-minute taxi to Stuben. Comfortable in winter, reliable, and scenic.

Hire car: Useful for guests planning day-trips around the wider Arlberg or extending into Switzerland. Most international airports have winter-specification rentals available.

Mondschein can arrange a transfer from any of the three airports for arriving guests — let the team know your flight details when booking, or contact the property directly. Pre-booked transfers are typically more cost-effective than airport-rank taxis and avoid the unpredictability of peak-Saturday traffic.

Arriving at Mondschein

Stuben is small, quiet, and easy to reach — once you know which gateway is yours. Zurich for international guests, Munich for German connections, Innsbruck for the shortest transfer.

If you have not yet booked your stay, you can book your 2026/27 winter directly at mondschein.com — and the team will arrange any transfer detail you need at the same time.
