Driving to Pitztal
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.
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.
Memmingen Airport
Allgäu Airport, the proper name for the airport at Memmingen, acts as an alternative ‘Munich Airport’ for low-cost carriers and those aiming for destinations to the west of the Bavarian capital. It is not a bad solution for the Pitztal with motorway much of the way down towards the Austrian border near Reutte and then country roads (and the Fern Pass) through to the Inn valley motorway.
Friedrichshafen Airport
Friedrichshafen Airport has been a popular option for visitors wanting to head for the west of Austria for some years now, even if it has been overtaken by Memmingen. 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.
