Private Transfer from Zurich Airport to St. Christoph am Arlberg
Taxi Anton provides a private airport transfer from Zurich Airport (ZRH) directly to St. Christoph am Arlberg. The vehicle is reserved for your group only: no unrelated passengers, no scheduled stops and no train or bus changes. Your group. Your vehicle. Direct to St. Christoph.
St. Christoph sits at about 1,800 m, right at the top of the Arlberg Pass – a small hamlet of hotels with the slopes of St. Anton on its doorstep. There is no railway station up here, so a direct transfer from the arrivals hall to the door of your hotel is the simplest way to arrive with skis, winter luggage and children. Smooth, reliable and well-organised from airport pickup to hotel drop-off.
Our Zurich to St. Christoph ski transfers are run from St. Anton, just below the pass, so your driver knows this road better than anyone. The journey is fast, comfortable and hassle-free, in a winter-ready VW Caravelle 4Motion or Mercedes Vito 4MATIC, and it ends at a hotel door where the pistes begin.

Zurich Airport (ZRH) – From International Hub to the Arlberg Pass
Zurich Airport is one of the main international airports used by visitors travelling to the western Austrian Alps.
For guests staying in St. Christoph am Arlberg, Zurich provides a wide range of flight options and is therefore a useful alternative to smaller airports closer to the resort, such as Innsbruck or Altenrhein.
The road journey from Zurich passes through eastern Switzerland and Vorarlberg before reaching the Arlberg region. St. Christoph sits high on the Arlberg Pass, just above St. Anton, and is reached by road rather than by rail.
Because St. Christoph has no railway station, a private taxi is particularly convenient for guests travelling with ski equipment or heavy winter luggage, taking them directly from the airport to their hotel.
St. Christoph am Arlberg – Direct Transfer to Your Ski Resort
For guests arriving from Zurich, St. Christoph is the final stop of a journey across the Alps. St. Christoph am Arlberg is a small, exclusive ski village high on the Arlberg Pass, just above St. Anton – directly connected to the Ski Arlberg area and known for its ski-in/ski-out hotels and long skiing tradition.
There is no railway station up here, so guests arriving by plane need road transport for the last part – especially convenient with luggage, skis or children. A private transfer from Zurich Airport takes you straight there, without changing trains or waiting for a shuttle.
Zurich Airport Transfer Pickup – Meet & Greet Included
Send us your flight number when you book, and the pickup follows your actual arrival time, not just the timetable.
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign and helps with your luggage. You receive the driver’s name and phone number before pickup, so you know who you are meeting before you land.
Your airport pickup includes:
- Flight monitoring
- Airport meet & greet at Zurich Airport, with a personal name sign
- Luggage assistance
- Your driver’s name and phone number before pickup
- Direct transfer to your hotel in St. Christoph
Flight Delays – Reliable Pickup for Your Zurich to St. Christoph Transfer
Delayed flight? No problem. We monitor your flight and adjust your pickup to the actual arrival time. After landing we wait up to 60 minutes at no extra cost, and your fixed price does not change.
On busy winter Saturdays, late arrivals in Zurich are normal. Because we watch your flight live, your Zurich Airport to St. Christoph transfer stays punctual – your driver is in arrivals when you actually walk out, not when the timetable said you would.
Zurich to St. Christoph Transfer Time, Distance & Route
Main route via the Rhine valley and over the Arlberg Pass
On most days we drive east past Winterthur and St. Gallen, cross into Austria at Diepoldsau and follow the Rhine valley and the Klostertal past Feldkirch and Bludenz to Langen am Arlberg. From Langen we climb the Arlberg Pass road through Stuben and past Alpe Rauz to St. Christoph at the top of the pass – no tunnel and no detour via St. Anton.
Alternative route via the Walensee and Sargans
When Google Maps shows it is quicker on the day, we take the A3 along the Walensee instead, past Sargans and up the Swiss A13, crossing into Austria at Feldkirch.
Your private transfer from Zurich Airport to St. Christoph covers approximately 195 km and normally takes around 2 hours 15 minutes. The Arlberg Pass road is cleared and kept open in winter. Snowfall and weekend ski traffic can make the drive longer, and our experienced local drivers plan it around the conditions on the day. Travel with confidence and peace of mind from Zurich Airport to St. Christoph.
What if the Arlberg Pass is closed?
It happens very rarely – on the odd day with very high avalanche danger, the stretch between Alpe Rauz and St. Christoph can close for a few hours. Then we simply drive through the Arlberg road tunnel to St. Anton and up the other side of the pass to St. Christoph. We watch the road status and let you know if anything changes.
Skiing from St. Christoph
St. Christoph is part of Ski Arlberg and sits right on the St. Anton ski area: you ski from the hotel door towards Galzig and St. Anton, and over Alpe Rauz to Stuben, Zürs and Lech. For evenings or après-ski down in St. Anton, our local taxi from St. Anton to St. Christoph drives both ways.
How to Get from Zurich to St. Christoph – Taxi, Train or Bus?
For families, groups and skiers, the easiest way is a private taxi: about 2 h 15 min, straight to your hotel, from €460 per car. St. Christoph has no railway station; the nearest are St. Anton and Langen am Arlberg.
The best transportation from Zurich Airport to St. Christoph depends on your party: how many travel, how many ski bags you bring and when you land.
| Taxi | Train + bus | Rental car | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Door to door | ✅ Airport to your hotel | ❌ Station, then bus up the pass | ⚠️ You drive yourself |
| Changes | ✅ None | ⚠️ Usually one or more, then St. Anton or Langen | ✅ None |
| With skis and suitcases | ✅ Easy | ⚠️ Carrying bags between train and bus | ⚠️ Needs a big car |
| Late or delayed flight | ✅ We track your flight | ⚠️ Fixed timetable | ✅ Yes |
| Arlberg Pass in winter | ✅ Local driver, 4×4, chains | ✅ No driving | ⚠️ You drive the mountain pass |
| Best for | Families, groups, ski luggage, late arrivals | Single travellers with light luggage | Travellers who need a car all week |
Our honest advice: alone with a small bag and plenty of time, the train and bus will get you there; with family, skis or a late flight, take the taxi.
Zurich to St. Christoph by Train
By train or by shared shuttle: the train, with one or more changes, to St. Anton or Langen am Arlberg and then a bus up the pass (around CHF 61–110 per person plus the bus), or the Arlberg Express shared shuttle (around €65 per person).
By train: The railway station is right at the airport, with many trains a day towards the Arlberg. Most connections need one or more changes – for example in Zürich HB, Buchs SG, St. Margrethen, Feldkirch or Bludenz, depending on the train – and the whole journey can take up to around 3½ hours. Train fares are roughly CHF 61 to CHF 110 per person, depending on the connection, the ticket and where you buy it; check the SBB or ÖBB timetable for your flight time. For St. Christoph, get off at St. Anton or at Langen am Arlberg – whichever your train stops at. From the station, the last part up the Arlberg Pass is by bus or taxi.
Coming by train? We pick you up at the station. Call us on +43 664 930 66 26, send a WhatsApp message or use the booking form – your driver waits at St. Anton or Langen station and takes you straight to your hotel in St. Christoph. More on our railway station transfers.
Zurich to St. Christoph by Bus (Arlberg Express Shuttle)
By shared shuttle: In winter, the Arlberg Express shared shuttle runs from Zurich Airport to the Arlberg villages, including St. Christoph, for around €65 per person; the drive takes about 3 to 3½ hours, depending on the stop. Because one run serves several villages – with stops such as Hohenems, Bludenz and Stuben on the way – it takes longer than a direct transfer. It follows a fixed timetable rather than your flight and drops you at set stops in the village, not at your hotel – check the operator’s website for current departures and fares.
By private taxi: no train changes, no fixed departure time, no carrying skis between platforms and no extra bus or taxi at the end – from the arrivals hall straight to your hotel door. A private Zurich Airport to St. Christoph transfer is the direct alternative to the Zurich to St. Christoph shuttle. Your group. Your vehicle. Airport to hotel, door to door.
Train and shuttle fares are approximate (winter 2026/27) and set by the operators.
Private Airport Transfer or Rental Car?
A rental car makes sense if you want to tour the region – for a ski week in St. Christoph it mostly stays parked. After heavy snowfall spaces are scarce, many hotels have only a few, and garages and paid car parks in resorts like St. Anton and Lech are expensive. Add snowy or icy Arlberg roads, snow chains at the roadside and, for UK and Irish drivers, driving on the right.
No parking. No snow chains. No unfamiliar winter roads – just a direct transfer to your door.
Zurich to St. Christoph Ski Transfer – Skis & Luggage Included
Skis, snowboards, ski boots and normal holiday luggage travel free – every car has room for winter equipment. Tell us how many suitcases and ski bags you have so we send the right vehicle.
At 1,800 m your skiing starts at the hotel door, so – like all our Zurich ski transfers – our private ski transfer from Zurich Airport brings the whole week’s kit up with you, with plenty of room for skis, luggage and the whole family or group. For up to 8 passengers, tell us your bags and ski bags when you book and we confirm the right vehicle.
Family-Friendly Airport Transfers to St. Christoph – Free Child Seats
Child seats and boosters are free on request; just give us the children’s ages when you book.
Travelling up to the top of a mountain pass with small children is far easier when nobody has to change trains or stand at a bus stop in the snow. Your family stays together in one car, from the arrivals hall in Zurich to the door of your hotel in St. Christoph – a quiet, family-friendly start to the holiday.
Winter-Ready 4x4 Vehicles for Your Zurich to St. Christoph Transfer
Your airport taxi to St. Christoph is a modern VW Caravelle 4Motion or Mercedes Vito 4MATIC – both all-wheel drive, with winter tyres and snow chains, leather seats, Wi-Fi, air conditioning and room for up to 8 passengers with luggage. Made for the climb to the top of the Arlberg Pass.
Clean, safe and regularly maintained, both modern vehicles are relaxed on the long Swiss motorway and steady on the final hairpins up to 1,800 m.
