Ski Transfer Munich Airport – Zell am See / Kaprun
Zell am See and Kaprun combine two very different ski mountains: the Schmittenhöhe rises directly above Zell am See and its lake and offers 77 km of pistes with long valley runs. The Kitzsteinhorn near Kaprun reaches 3,029 m and, as a glacier ski area, can be skied from autumn into spring. With the Ski ALPIN CARD, both areas can be combined with the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn.
From Munich Airport the journey leads via motorway and main roads into the Salzburger Land. With a private transfer from MUC-Shuttle you avoid changing trains with ski luggage: your chauffeur waits at the terminal and takes you straight to your accommodation in Zell am See, Kaprun or the surrounding area. For the route of around 203 km, please allow approx. 2 h 45 min.

How we drive from Munich Airport to Zell am See and Kaprun
From the airport we take the Munich motorway ring onto the A8 towards Salzburg. Depending on traffic, we leave the motorway in the Chiemgau and continue on main roads into Austria and through the Saalach Valley via Lofer and Saalfelden to Zell am See, or we drive via the Inntal interchange and Kufstein and on through St. Johann in Tirol. Neither option crosses a pass; Zell am See lies at 757 m. Delays are most likely on Saturdays and at the start of school holidays on the A8 and in the villages along the way. Kaprun is only a few minutes from Zell am See.
Good to know
- Germany–Austria border crossing: checks are possible, please have your ID ready
- Austrian motorway vignette: usually not required on the common routes via Lofer or via Kufstein-Süd – we take care of toll roads and vignettes
- No mountain pass on the route; Zell am See lies at 757 m, Kaprun at around 770 m
- Winter tyres are standard on all our vehicles
Tips for your journey
- Saturday is changeover day at many accommodations – allow plenty of time for your return journey to the airport.
- Let us know about skis, snowboards and boot bags when booking so that we can plan the right vehicle.
- Thanks to the glacier, skiing on the Kitzsteinhorn is also possible in autumn and spring – ideal for a short break outside the peak season.
