Short transfers mean bums on chairlifts or bar stools, not transfer buses. Airport transfers in Austria are some of the shortest in the Alps.

The shorter the duration of the trip, the greater the proportion of it is spent getting there - not a good equation! Minimise this by selecting resorts with short transfers. Innsbruck is a ridiculously short transfer – from the arrivals lounge it is 2 miles to the central Old Town and 4.5 miles to the nearest cable car. There aren’t many better ski transfers anywhere in the world but there are some really great other resort options.

It is not just the transfer time that needs to be considered, some airports deposit their arriving clients on distant gates, leaving near marathon distances to collect bags. Airports such as Innsbruck and Salzburg are a throwback to airports of old, where clients can be at passport control just minutes after the plane has come to a standstill and in the taxi or bus stand just a few minutes later.
