Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Salzburg Airport (SZG) in Austria to Salzburg's old town, the Ski amadé resorts, Obertauern, Zell am See-Kaprun, Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Kitzbühel and Bad Reichenhall.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Salzburg Airport W. A. Mozart to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Airport transportation in Salzburg takes you from Salzburg Airport to hotels in the old town and across the city, to the Ski amadé resorts such as Flachau and Schladming, to Obertauern, Zell am See-Kaprun, Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Bad Gastein and Kitzbühel, and over the German border to Bad Reichenhall.
Our Salzburg airport transfers start in the arrivals area of Terminal 1, where your driver waits with a name sign as you come out of customs. We track your flight, so on busy winter Saturdays, when extra charter flights use Terminal 2, your driver follows your actual arrival.
You get a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, in sizes from sedans to vans for families and ski groups. Every Salzburg airport transfer goes door to door, to a hotel in the old town, an apartment in the ski resorts or a chalet in the mountains.
Our Salzburg airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and drives straight to your hotel or chalet, with no stops for other skiers. There is room for suitcases as well as ski and snowboard bags, so it suits families and groups heading to the Ski amadé resorts, Obertauern, Zell am See or Saalbach.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Salzburg Airport W. A. Mozart (SZG) lies on the western edge of Salzburg, close to the border with Bavaria, Germany. Terminal 1 handles regular flights, and the smaller Terminal 2 opens for seasonal peaks, mainly charter flights on winter Saturdays. There are no jet bridges, so you walk or take a bus from the aircraft.
If you fly in from outside the Schengen Area, for example from the UK, you pass passport control before baggage claim; flights from Schengen countries skip it. Baggage claim is quick at this small airport, though ski bags and oversized items can take longer on busy winter Saturdays. After customs, you exit into the arrivals area.
Salzburg is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and moves to UTC+2 from late March to late October.
Entry rules. Austria is in the Schengen Area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you travel.
Winter Saturdays. Saturdays in ski season are the airport's busiest days, with extra charter flights using Terminal 2 and longer waits for ski luggage. Check which terminal your flight uses before you fly home.
Snow in the Alps. Winters bring snow and freezing temperatures to Salzburg and the mountain resorts, so keep warm layers and boots handy for the walk to the car and the arrival at your chalet.
Close to Germany. The airport sits beside the Bavarian border, and Bad Reichenhall is on the German side. Austria and Germany both use the euro.
