Private airport 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.

The route from Zurich Airport to St. Christoph
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.
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.
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.
What is the best way to get from Zurich Airport to St. Christoph?
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.
| 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.
Travelling by train or shared shuttle from Zurich Airport
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.
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. Your group. Your vehicle. Airport to hotel, door to door.
Train and shuttle fares are approximate (winter 2026/27) and set by the operators.
What about a 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.
Skis, snowboards, luggage and child seats
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. Child seats and boosters are free on request; just give us the children’s ages when you book.
Winter-ready 4×4 vehicles
We drive to St. Christoph in a VW Caravelle 4Motion or a 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.
