Route facts

The route from the Eibsee to Frankfurt Airport

The Eibsee lies roughly 483 kilometres from Frankfurt Airport, a drive of a little over five hours. The car first descends the access road to Grainau and follows the B 23 into Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

From there the A 95 heads for Munich, the A 99 ring leads onto the A 8 past Augsburg, Ulm and Stuttgart, and the A 6 and A 67 carry the journey past Darmstadt to the Frankfurt airport interchange.

Pickup at the lakeside

We collect you at the hotel on the Eibsee, at the cable car valley station or at a holiday flat in Grainau. Public transport up here is thin, which is exactly why a door pickup makes the difference on this route.

For a mid-morning departure from Frankfurt the start at the lake is very early, and the time is worked back from your flight. The driver waits outside and loads cases and rucksacks himself.

Arriving at the terminal

The car stops on the departures level of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, right by the entrance to the check-in hall. Bulky items such as ski bags or climbing gear come out at the kerb.

Five hours after leaving the mountains you are at the terminal without a single change. That counts for a lot when a long-haul flight follows the same day.

About the Eibsee

The Eibsee sits in the parish of Grainau directly beneath the Zugspitze and is famous for its turquoise water and small wooded islands. A path circles the shore in a few hours, and the cable car from the station at the water's edge climbs straight to Germany's highest summit.

Guests usually stay at the lakeside hotel or in Grainau, some with views across the border to Ehrwald and Lermoos in Tyrol. Rowing boats in summer and the Zugspitzplatt snowfields in winter make it one of the most photographed spots in Bavaria.

Tips for the departure from the lake

The access road to the lake is a narrow mountain road, and snow or twilight makes that first stretch slower, which is already built into the timing. Give the exact address when booking so the driver takes the right approach.

Flag hiking luggage, skis or a pushchair in advance and a vehicle with the right load space is assigned. The fixed price is set before departure, whatever the weather or the traffic on the A 8.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Ehrwald (462 km, at a fixed price with real drive-time facts). Every route, fixed price and vehicle class at FR Transfer.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Eibsee?

The only public link off the Eibsee is the Zugspitze railway down to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, followed by a regional train, a change in Munich and an ICE, so three transfers with luggage in one travel day. A taxi would meter all 483 kilometres and still return empty. A hire car means the mountain road, five hours of motorway and a one-way fee when you hand it back at the airport. The fixed-price transfer begins at the lakeshore and ends on the departures level, at a figure known when you book.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the transfer from Eibsee to Frankfurt Airport take?

The drive from Eibsee to Frankfurt Airport takes about 311 minutes for 483 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 60 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Eibsee for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Eibsee about 8 h 11 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 9 h 11 min for long-haul. That is 311 minutes of driving, 60 minutes of traffic buffer and 2 or 3 hours at the terminal. The booking form proposes the pickup time for you.

How much is a transfer from Eibsee to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 483 km route is shown in the booking form before you book and never changes afterwards — regardless of traffic, time of day, weekday or how long the drive actually takes. It depends on the vehicle class and the distance, not on a meter.

How much luggage fits in each vehicle?

The sedan classes take 2 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags; the Business Van takes 7 suitcases plus 5 cabin bags for up to 8 passengers. Declare oversized items such as skis, a golf bag or a pushchair when booking so the right class is dispatched.

Is this a taxi or a chauffeur service?

This is a chauffeur service: the journey is booked in advance, the price is fixed before you book and no meter runs. Your driver wears a suit, greets you by name and helps with the luggage — in the Business and First Class categories it is a limousine service with a Mercedes E- or S-Class. You hail a taxi at a rank; a chauffeur is booked to the minute in Eibsee. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Eibsee.

Can I pay the driver by card?

Card payment is accepted directly in the vehicle — as is cash or paying online in advance, and business customers can be invoiced. You receive a receipt with VAT shown either way.

Can I travel with an infant or child seat?

A child seat, booster or infant carrier is selected during booking and fitted by the driver before pickup. State the child's age so the correct size group is installed.

How does free cancellation work?

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the agreed pickup time. After that a cancellation fee may apply; at the pickup address in Eibsee 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
