Taxi Innsbruck Gerlos: Your Direct Route to the Zillertal Arena
Gerlos sits high in the Zillertal at 1,250 metres and connects two of Austria's most popular ski regions through the Zillertal Arena and the Gerlos Alpine Road. Getting there from Innsbruck by public transport means trains, bus changes, and a lot of patience — especially with ski luggage, children, or evening arrivals. A private taxi transfer Innsbruck Gerlos with AlpExpress removes the complexity: you meet your driver, load your bags, and travel directly to your accommodation.
The route follows the Inn Valley motorway east to Jenbach, then turns south into the Zillertal before climbing towards Gerlos. It is one of the most scenic valley approaches in Tyrol — dense forests, mountain views, and (in winter) a landscape that signals your holiday has started. The total distance is approximately 83 km, with a travel time of around 1 hour and 10 minutes door-to-door.
Why travellers choose a private transfer over public transport
The train from Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof to Jenbach and the Zillertalbahn to Zell am Ziller work well in theory, but the final leg to Gerlos requires a regional bus that does not run frequently — and not at all late in the evening. If your flight lands after 18:00 or you are travelling with multiple pieces of ski equipment, a private transfer is the practical option. AlpExpress tracks your flight, adjusts if you are delayed, and drives you directly to your hotel or chalet in Gerlos without a single platform change.

Gerlos: Where Your Transfer Takes You
Gerlos is a compact mountain village at 1,250 metres that punches well above its weight. It connects the Zillertal Arena on one side with the Salzburg ski regions via the famous Gerlos Alpine Road on the other — giving you access to 143 km of groomed pistes with a single ski pass. In summer, the area transforms into a hiking and cycling destination surrounded by waterfalls, alpine meadows, and mountain lakes.
The village itself is family-friendly, with ski schools, gentle beginner slopes, and a relaxed atmosphere that contrasts with the high-energy après-ski of larger resorts. For experienced skiers, the connection to Königsleiten and the Krimml Waterfalls side of the arena adds serious variety. Whether you are coming for a long ski week or a short alpine escape, Gerlos delivers value and quality without the crowds of more famous neighbouring resorts.
Flight Tracking and Pickup at Innsbruck Airport (INN)
For airport transfers, AlpExpress monitors your flight in real time. If your plane is delayed, the driver adjusts automatically — no panicked phone calls, no missed connections. You land, collect your luggage, and your driver is waiting in the arrivals area with a name sign. Luggage assistance is included.
Return Transfers: Gerlos → Innsbruck
Booking both directions at the same time — a round trip — is the most convenient option and can unlock additional savings. Your return pickup from Gerlos to Innsbruck (airport, train station, or any address) is handled with the same reliability: fixed time, fixed price, door-to-door.
Safety, Insurance, and Winter Readiness
Alpine transfers in winter require more than a standard taxi. The route from Innsbruck to Gerlos includes valley roads that can be affected by snow, ice, and reduced visibility — especially in January and February. AlpExpress drivers are experienced in these conditions and trained for safe, steady mountain driving.
Every vehicle in the fleet is fully insured, equipped with winter tyres as legally required in Austria, and maintained on strict schedules. If conditions require snow chains, they are available. You travel with a licensed, professional chauffeur who prioritises a calm, safe journey — particularly important when travelling with children or elderly family members.
Ideal for Couples, Families, Groups, and Corporate Travel
Whether you are two people with a suitcase or eight friends with ski bags, snowboards, and a week's worth of gear, the fleet has a vehicle to match. Corporate travellers and conference attendees benefit from the same reliability and discretion — and companies can invoice directly.

FAQ: Taxi Transfer Innsbruck Gerlos
Practical answers to the most common questions about the Innsbruck to Gerlos transfer. If something is not covered here, contact us via hotline or WhatsApp — we respond quickly.
How much does a taxi from Innsbruck to Gerlos cost?
The price depends on the vehicle category you select and the exact pickup location. As a reference, transfers start from approximately €149 when paying online. The live calculator on this page gives you the precise fare for your specific trip — including vehicle choice, group size, and payment method. No hidden fees: tolls, taxes, and child seats are included in the price you see.
How long does the transfer from Innsbruck to Gerlos take?
The drive takes approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes under normal conditions. During peak winter weekends — particularly Saturdays — traffic in the Zillertal can add time. Severe weather (heavy snowfall, road closures) may also affect duration. Your driver will choose the safest and most efficient route based on live conditions.
Is this a private transfer or a shared shuttle?
This is a private transfer. The vehicle and driver are exclusively reserved for you and your travel group. There are no stops to pick up or drop off other passengers. You go directly from your pickup point in Innsbruck to your exact destination in Gerlos — on your schedule, not a timetable.
Can I be picked up from Innsbruck Airport?
Absolutely. Airport pickups from Innsbruck Airport (INN) are a core part of the service. Your driver meets you in the arrivals area with a name sign after you collect your luggage. Flight tracking is active, so if your flight is delayed, the driver adjusts the pickup time automatically — no extra charge.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
For airport pickups, AlpExpress tracks your flight in real time. A standard delay is handled automatically — no action needed from your side. If the delay is significant or your flight is cancelled, contact the 24/7 hotline or WhatsApp as soon as possible. The team will work with you to find the best solution, whether that is a later pickup or rebooking.
Can I bring skis, snowboards, and bulky winter equipment?
Yes — ski and snowboard transport is included at no extra charge. The vehicles are equipped with external ski and snowboard carriers to keep gear secure and the cabin comfortable. When booking, mention the number of ski bags and snowboards so the right vehicle with sufficient carrier capacity is assigned. For large groups with a lot of equipment, a van category (Vito, V-Class, or Sprinter) is the most comfortable choice.
Are child seats available?
Yes, child seats and booster seats are provided free of charge on request. Simply add the ages and number of children in the booking notes, and the appropriate seats will be ready in the vehicle when your driver arrives. This is a standard part of the service — no extra cost, no need to bring your own.
How do I pay for my transfer?
You have two options. Online payment during the booking process is preferred — it is faster, secures your reservation immediately, and includes an automatic discount. Alternatively, you can pay your driver directly (cash or card) upon arrival. The discount applies only to online payment, so if saving money is a priority, paying online is the better choice.
Can I book a round trip (Innsbruck ↔ Gerlos)?
Yes, and it is recommended. Booking both the outbound (Innsbruck → Gerlos) and return (Gerlos → Innsbruck) transfer together can unlock additional savings. You lock in your return schedule early, avoid last-minute availability issues, and keep your entire trip logistics settled. During booking, simply select "Round Trip" to see combined pricing.
What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?
AlpExpress offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. If you need to change the time, date, or destination, contact the team as early as possible via phone, email, or WhatsApp. The goal is to keep your travel plans flexible — especially important during ski season when weather and flight schedules can shift.
Which vehicles are used for the Innsbruck to Gerlos route?
AlpExpress operates an all-Mercedes fleet. Options include the Mercedes E-Class (up to 4 passengers), S-Class (VIP limousine, up to 3), Vito (van, up to 8), V-Class (VIP van, up to 7), Sprinter Tourer (up to 8, extra luggage space), and the Mercedes G63 AMG Grand Edition for special occasions. All vehicles are winter-equipped, fully insured, and maintained to a high standard.
Can I also be picked up from Innsbruck city centre or my hotel?
Yes. While airport pickups are the most common booking, you can be picked up from any address in Innsbruck — hotels, the main train station (Hauptbahnhof), private addresses, or conference venues. Just enter your pickup location in the calculator and the fare adjusts automatically.
Is the Innsbruck to Gerlos road safe in winter?
The road from Innsbruck to Gerlos via the Zillertal is well-maintained and cleared regularly in winter. However, mountain roads in Austria always require respect: snow, ice, and reduced visibility can occur. AlpExpress drivers are trained for alpine winter conditions, and all vehicles carry winter tyres as required by Austrian law. Snow chains are available if conditions demand them. Travelling with a professional driver significantly reduces the stress and risk compared to driving an unfamiliar rental car on mountain roads.
Do you offer transfers in summer as well?
Yes. While winter ski transfers are the most popular booking for this route, AlpExpress operates year-round. In summer, Gerlos is a popular destination for hiking, mountain biking, and visiting the Krimml Waterfalls — the highest waterfalls in Austria. The same service applies: private transfer, fixed price, door-to-door, and online booking with a discount.
How far in advance should I book?
Booking as early as possible is recommended, especially during peak ski season (December to March) and on weekends. Early booking guarantees vehicle availability — particularly for larger vans that are in high demand during winter Saturdays. Last-minute bookings are possible if capacity allows, but advance planning gives you the best selection and secures your preferred time slot.
Can I request a stop along the way?
Since this is a private transfer, short stops are generally possible — for example, a quick coffee break, a restroom stop, or a brief pause for children. Just communicate your wishes to the driver or mention them during booking. Extended detours or additional pickup points may affect the fare, so it is best to discuss this in advance via the hotline or WhatsApp.
