Private transfer
Best for: Families, groups and anyone with ski bags
A car or minivan just for your party, from the arrivals hall to your accommodation in Santa Cristina. The price is per vehicle, so it gets cheaper per head as your group grows: from €648 for the whole car.
Book from €648Shared shuttle or coach
Best for: Solo travellers and couples on a budget
Seat-based shuttles run to many Alpine resorts on changeover days. You pay per seat, but you wait for a fixed departure and may be dropped at a central stop. Check that ski bags are included.
Private or shared? How to compare quotesTrain and bus
Best for: Light packers who like public transport
There is no direct airport-to-resort train on this route. A rail-and-bus connection may exist via the nearest valley station; check every change and the final bus with ski luggage.
Train and bus to Val Gardena: official guideHire car
Best for: Exploring several resorts during your stay
Driving 260 km into the mountains in winter means winter tyres, snow chains where required and paid parking in Santa Cristina. Worth it if you will use the car during the week.

Book Santa Cristina → VeniceTips for this journey
- Give your flight number and the number of ski or snowboard bags when you book. Passenger seats and luggage space are not the same thing.
- Saturday is changeover day in most Alpine resorts, so roads and airports are at their busiest. A midweek or Sunday arrival is usually quicker.
- Use your full accommodation address. Two chalets "in Santa Cristina" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
- Kiwitaxi also lists drop-offs nearby (santa cristina valgardena). Pick the one closest to where you are staying.
