Your Shortcut to Austria’s Alps: Munich Airport

You can spot your first snow-dusted peaks on your descent into Munich Airport. Bavaria's capital is nestled on the Northern ridge of the Austrian Alps, just a few hours from Tirol's most sought-after winter resorts. This makes Munich Airport Lufthansa's "Mountain Hub" - and indeed there is a whiff of Alpine luxury in the air (it's Europe's only 5-star airport).

Miami to Munich to Mountain

The nonstop connection between Miami and Munich brings Floridians especially close to Tirol's winter paradise. Lufthansa takes you from Miami International Airport to Munich Airport in approximately 10 hours and lets you arrive well-rested thanks to their excellent service. Fall asleep in the Florida heat and wake up in the legendary powder-dusted Alps! Lufthansa offers daily service from November 4th to January 21st and six flights per week (except Tuesdays) from January 23rd.

Transport Options to Tirol's Resorts

Getting from the arrivals hall to the slopes of Tirol is quick and convenient, with ground transportation options for all budgets. Shuttle buses take you directly from either one of Munich's two terminals to various ski resorts and drop you off at your hotel for ultimate comfort.

• Bus/Van transfer: Let Four Seasons Travel take you from the terminal to your hotel in their fleet of minivans, black cars, and coaches. Book your shuttle here.
• Train transfer: Train connections to the Alps depart every hour from the central railway station in Munich. Take the S-Bahn train from the terminals to your train!
• Rental car: Of course there is always the option of renting a car at the airport and departing on a self-guided mountain adventure. Even in winter the roads are safe and well-taken-care-of, so you will arrive in Austria without hassle. Just make sure to enquire about Austria's toll sticker at the car rental - they are located between Terminals 1 and 2.
• Helicopter transfer: For ultimate convenience, book a helicopter to whisk you to your Tirolean resort. Lufthansa Express Helicopter service will have you on the slopes of Lech and co. in no time.

5-Star Airport Experience

Before you speed off to Austria, refuel at the airport at Airbräu, a cozy restaurant with its own brewery. Complimentary WiFi and Recreation Areas with reclining seats make waiting for your return flight and entertaining.

If you fly from the Star Alliance Terminal 2 head to the satellite with the central marketplace and the Bubbles Bar with views of the tarmac - they're both worth a visit!
