With Ski Luggage from Munich Airport to the Alps: How the Transfer Works

For many winter sports fans, Munich Airport is the gateway to the Alps. Kitzbühel, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck or the Zillertal can be reached in one to two hours – provided the luggage fits into the vehicle. That is exactly where many plans fall apart.

How much space does ski luggage need?

A ski bag is 170 to 200 centimetres long. In a saloon, the rear seat backrest has to be folded down for it – which leaves two seats. For families or groups with several ski bags, board bags and suitcases, a van is the only solution that works without compromise.

Which vehicle for which group?

• 1–2 people with one ski bag each: electric saloon with the backrest folded down, or a van.
• Family of 3–4 with ski luggage: Premium Van XL (Mercedes-Benz V-Class).
• 5–6 people with ski luggage: van – with a roof box by arrangement if needed – or two vehicles.
• Larger groups: several vehicles, staggered or in convoy.

What to specify when booking

The more precise the luggage details, the safer the choice of vehicle. Please state:

• Number of ski bags or board bags (and whether skis are packed separately or in a double bag)
• Number of suitcases and pieces of hand luggage
• Child seats, if needed

What does the ski transfer cost?

The fixed price depends on the destination and vehicle class and is shown before booking. For comparison: a rental car for one week often costs about as much as a return trip with a chauffeur – without worrying about winter tyres, without looking for parking in the resort and without driving after a long day on the slopes.

Winter roads

Our vehicles run on winter tyres, and our chauffeurs know the pass and valley roads. When it snows we allow more driving time – the fixed price is not affected.

Return flight: plan a buffer

For the return trip to the airport in winter we recommend at least 30 minutes of extra buffer compared with the normal driving time. Ski luggage is checked in at the oversized baggage counter, which takes longer than regular drop-off.
