Innsbruck airport has by far the shortest transfer time to the Pitz valley, but Munich is not a bad option and Salzburg airport is also easily accessible through the motorway network.
Innsbruck
Airport
The end of the Pitztal is around ninety minutes' drive from Innsbruck airport. The route along the Inn valley motorway heads due west through to the junction at Imst and then up into the valley via the towns of Arzl, Wenns and Jerzens before the long haul through to the hamlets closer to the ski areas. The road is a small valley road which can sometimes become crowded in high season.
Innsbruck has a wide selection of charter flights which mainly arrive on the weekend, as well as a good choice of scheduled flights including some of the low-cost carriers to the UK and Vienna.
Friedrichshafen
Airport
Friedrichshafen Airport has been a popular option for visitors wanting to head for the west of Austria for some years now and is the second closest airport for a visitor to Ischgl. The route from the airport follows the northern shore of Lake Constance and then crosses onto the Austrian motorway system at Bregenz before following the road all the way through the Arlberg to Imst.
Munich
Airport
Munich Airport is located around three hours away from the Pitztal. The airport is situated to the north of the city, and there are various options for travelling into Austria. The first - and longest but perhaps easiest - is to use the motorway network which bypasses Munich to the east and then heads down to Rosenheim, where it joins up with the motorway from Salzburg, and the border at Kufstein.
Otherwise drivers can head south through Munich towards Austria. At Garmisch-Partenkirchen there is another choice: either head towards Seefeld and then to Imst via Telfs, or take the Ehrwald direction over the Fernpass to Imst.
Salzburg
Airport
Salzburg Airport is further away than Munich but, because most of the distance is on the motorway, may be a quicker option. There is a choice of routes: one uses the road through the "German corner" near the airport and then via Lofer and St Johann out to Wörgl and then back onto the Inn valley motorway. This can be a trickier journey in bad weather and there is an alternate choice which is virtually motorway all the way via the German Autobahn to the junction with the Munich-Inn valley motorway north of Rosenheim. Reckon on just under three hours for this journey.

The maps below display many of the four- and three-star hotels in the Pitz valley. As the valley is so long there are two maps displayed - one for the lower valley and the Hochzeiger ski area and one for the upper valley and the glacier and Rifflsee area. Even so the maps are set initially at quite a low resolution but you can zoom the map in and out by using the controls and switch between satellite and traditional map views.
