air travel to lermoos
The German airports come into focus when debating the best destination for skiing in Lermoos but, unsurprisingly, Innsbruck is still far and away the best choice for this resort.
Innsbruck
Airport
Innsbruck Airport is the closest and most convenient for Lermoos. Innsbruck has long been known as a popular destination for ski charter flights - especially from the northern European countries - but now the introduction of new lower-fare scheduled flights from major destinations like London has made it into a real option for those flying from further afield.
The route from Innsbruck follows the main Inn valley motorway up to the Silz turnoff onto the Mieminger plateau. The road then descends to Nassereith and takes the steep climb over the Fern pass. This route can be extremely crowded in high season or slow in bad weather.
Friedrichshafen
Airport
Friedrichshafen Airport, as one of the "new" destinations for winter charters and low-cost flights, is also a viable alternative for travellers heading to Lermoos. Car drivers should take the route across the southern part of Germany via Wangen and Kempten before dropping down into Austria and the Ausseerfern at Reutte.
Munich
Airport
Munich Airport is another decent option for Lermoos, with the main route heading through the city itself and down to Garmisch on the motorway. At Garmisch, a smaller regional road leads past Grainau in the direction of Ehrwald and Lermoos.
Salzburg
Airport
Salzburg Airport is unlikely to be a popular choice for Lermoos but, because of the variety of charter flights offered in the winter, it may be the only option available. A shorter journey can be made via the local roads cutting across from the Salzburg-Munich motorway to the Munich-Garmisch motorway but the surest route is probably to drive to Innsbruck and then as described in the description above.
Zurich
Airport
Zurich Airport is a popular airport for those arriving via scheduled flight, but a long journey to Lermoos. Probably the most sensible route would be via the Arlberg tunnel and Inn valley motorway to Imst and then over the Fern pass.
