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 Lech. The price is per vehicle, so it gets cheaper per head as your group grows.
Check pricesShared 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.

Best for: Exploring several resorts during your stay
Driving 196 km into the mountains in winter means winter tyres, snow chains where required and paid parking in Lech. Worth it if you will use the car during the week.

Book Lech → ZurichTips 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 Lech" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
- Kiwitaxi also lists drop-offs nearby (lech am arlberg). Pick the one closest to where you are staying.

About 2 h 30 min for the 196 km drive, according to the transfer partner. Snow, weekend traffic and the climb into the resort can add time.
How far is Lech from Zurich Airport?
196 km by road; 126 km in a straight line.
What is the cheapest way from Zurich to Lech?

Can I bring skis or a snowboard?
Yes, but declare every ski or board bag when you book so the right vehicle is sent. An oversized bag that was not declared can mean a refused or delayed pickup.

Can I book the return transfer from Lech to Zurich?
