Venice & Innsbruck to San Cassiano Transfers Private Cars, Taxis, Shuttles, Minibuses & Ski Transfers to San Cassiano, Alta Badia & the Dolomiti Superski

Fixed-price door-to-door ski transfers from Venice, Innsbruck, Treviso and Verona to San Cassiano

San Cassiano is a Ladin village in Alta Badia, high in the South Tyrol Dolomites, with the 1,200 km of linked Dolomiti Superski pistes starting at the end of the road. Four airports price a transfer here and they cost nothing like the same. The identical three-seat private car is £358 from Treviso, £376 from Innsbruck, £392 from Venice Marco Polo and £625 from Verona.

Innsbruck is the cheapest gateway for any party of five to fourteen. It is also the only one of the four that runs out of seats there.

What San Cassiano skiers ask before they book

Four airports, and the cheapest one is the one nobody thinks to check.

The basics

How long is the transfer from Venice Marco Polo to San Cassiano?

About 3 hours for the 180 km north from the coast. Innsbruck is 130 km and about 2 hours 30, Verona 250 km and about 3 hours 30. Treviso is priced but its drive time is not published, so confirm it at booking.

How much is a Venice to San Cassiano transfer?

£392 for a private car carrying up to 3 people and their gear, or £468 for an MPV taking up to 5. That buys the whole vehicle, not a seat in it. Indicative, one way.

Which airport is cheapest for San Cassiano?

Treviso, on a private car: £358 against £376 from Innsbruck, £392 from Venice and £625 from Verona. From five seats upwards the answer changes to Innsbruck, and above fourteen it changes again.

Can sixteen of us fly into Innsbruck?

Not for a hoppa transfer to this village. Innsbruck returns nothing above 14 seats on this route, so sixteen means Treviso at £2,098 or Venice at £2,298. Decide that before anyone books a flight.

Is Verona worth booking?

Only if it holds the flight you need. It is the dearest of the four on every vehicle probed: £625 for the car that costs £358 from Treviso, and £1,514 for the 8-seater that costs £457 from Innsbruck.

Is there a shared shuttle from Venice Airport to San Cassiano?

There is no shared shuttle on this route. Every hoppa transfer here is a private vehicle priced per vehicle rather than per head, so the fare splits between your group.

Where exactly is San Cassiano?

In Alta Badia, on the South Tyrol side of the Dolomites, in the Ladin valleys of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano. Arabba is 19 km away, Val Gardena 35 km and Cortina d'Ampezzo 56 km.

Which vehicle fits my group?

How many people and how much luggage fit in each vehicle?

Vehicle categories include Sedan, Business Sedan, Minivan, Business Minivan, Minibus and Bus. Each has a strict insured maximum for passengers and luggage that drivers must adhere to. Default luggage allowance is one 24-inch suitcase per passenger — bags larger than 24″ count as two pieces. Choose a category that fits both your party and your bags.

Will I get the exact car shown in the picture?

Vehicle images are for illustration only. You're booking a category, not a specific model — and we may upgrade you to a higher category at no extra charge if your selected one isn't available.

Can I add a child seat for my baby or toddler?

Yes. We offer infant carriers, baby seats and boosters depending on your supplier and route. Add the seat type you need during booking so it can be confirmed in advance.

How much does a child seat cost?

The first child seat in your booking is included free. Any additional seats may carry a fee from the supplier — the exact amount is shown in your booking quote before you pay, so there are no surprises.

I forgot to request a child seat — can I add it after booking?

Yes. Contact customer service as soon as possible to add it to your booking. Late requests are honoured subject to availability, so the sooner you ask, the better. Important: no refund or replacement applies if a driver arrives without a seat that wasn't requested in time.

Is my child seat guaranteed once I've added it to my booking?

If you've added the seat at the time of booking, it's confirmed with your transport supplier. Seats requested after the booking is placed are subject to availability. If a seat ends up unavailable on arrival because it wasn't requested in time, no refund applies.

Can I bring a pet or service animal?

Yes, at no extra charge. Notify us at booking so the right vehicle is allocated. Important: animals count toward the vehicle's passenger capacity — so a 5-seat vehicle with two pets has three human seats.

Do you have wheelchair-accessible options?

Yes. Note any accessibility need (wheelchair, mobility scooter, special assistance) in the booking comments. We work with specialised partners and make reasonable efforts to accommodate.

What if my flight is delayed?

Will my driver wait if my flight is late?

Yes. Your driver waits up to 60 minutes free after your scheduled arrival for airport pickups. For international flights, there's also a 30-minute buffer added on top — so your driver's free waiting period starts after that buffer ends.

What if my flight is delayed by more than 2 hours?

Contact customer service to reschedule. If we can't pick you up at the new time, the order is cancelled without charge.

What if my flight is cancelled entirely?

Your transfer is cancelled free of charge. Contact customer service immediately so we can update the booking.

What if my flight is diverted to a different airport?

Contact us immediately. We'll do our best to reschedule your pickup — though we can't guarantee a free transfer if the new airport is in a different region or significantly further from your destination.

Where will I meet my driver?

24 hours before pickup we send a final SMS or WhatsApp with the exact meeting point and your driver's contact details. Meet & greet at the arrival gate is available on request, subject to airport policy — if not possible at the gate, we'll assign an alternative meeting point.

What if I'm stuck inside the airport (luggage, immigration)?

Use the emergency number on your e-ticket to call the driver or local supplier and let them know you're still in the terminal. The driver will wait through their free period and, if reached in time, can sometimes extend.

What counts as a no-show?

Not appearing within the free waiting period and being unreachable for additional time. No-shows are charged in full and non-refundable.

Best price & current deals

Where can I find a discount code?

Active offers are applied automatically when you search — there's nothing to enter manually. To see what's currently running, check our discount codes page or our homepage banner.

Should I book early?

Yes. We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance for the best vehicle selection. Bookings within 24 hours are subject to availability and may carry an expedited service fee. Booking early also locks in today's price.

Is there a low-deposit option?

On selected services and destinations, yes — pay a deposit now and the balance before your travel date. If the balance isn't paid in time the booking auto-cancels and the deposit is forfeited. Note: low-deposit bookings can't be paid with hoppa Credits.

What is Refund Protect?

An optional add-on at checkout from our partner Refund Protect. If you (or anyone in your party) can't attend for a covered reason, you receive 100% of your booking back. Refund Protect's decision is final — see their full terms when adding the option.

Can I use hoppa Credits from a previous booking?

Yes. hoppa Credits apply automatically to your next booking when you log in with the same email. They expire 12 months after issue, can't be transferred between accounts, and can't be combined with low-deposit bookings.

Can I cancel and get a refund?

Yes, depending on timing and vehicle size. Up to 7 seats: free cancellation more than 24 hours before pickup; 100% charge within 24 hours. 8–14 seats: free outside 48 hours. 16+ seats: free outside 14 days, 50% within 14–7 days, 100% within 7 days. Approved refunds process within 14 days to your original payment method.

Aren't I just paying a middleman fee?

Your payment covers both our booking service and the supplier's fare — we pay the supplier on your behalf. That's what gives you a fixed all-in price, dispute resolution, and a single point of contact if anything goes wrong on the trip.

Are the drivers vetted and licensed?

We only work with established local transport partners who meet our service and safety standards, and who operate under their own local licensing and insurance requirements. Each supplier is contracted directly by hoppa.

Is my booking and payment secure?

Yes. Payments are processed through industry-standard encryption and secure payment gateways. Your booking details and personal information are protected throughout the transaction.

Already booked? Login & manage

Where's my e-ticket and pickup time?

A confirmation email goes out immediately after booking, a reminder 7 days before, and final pickup details by SMS or WhatsApp 24 hours before. Everything is also visible in My Bookings when you log in.

Can I get a VAT invoice for expenses?

Yes — contact customer service within 30 days of your trip to issue an invoice.

I left something in the car

Contact customer service as soon as possible. We'll make reasonable efforts to recover and return your item, but we can't guarantee retrieval and don't accept liability for items left behind.

Smoking, damage and cleaning fees

Smoking or vaping in any vehicle triggers a minimum cleaning fee and the driver may end the trip; the fare becomes non-refundable. Rubbish, spills or other damage in the vehicle can also incur a cleaning fee. Both are disclosed before they are applied.

What are hoppa Credits?

Credit issued on refunds or as a goodwill gesture. They apply automatically to your next booking when you log in with the same email, expire 12 months after issue, can't be transferred, and can't be combined with low-deposit bookings.

How do I cancel my booking? Can I get a refund?

Cancel from your account or by contacting support. Refund depends on timing and vehicle size: up to 7 seats — free outside 24 hours, 100% charge within 24 hours. 8–14 seats — free outside 48 hours. 16+ seats — free outside 14 days, 50% within 14–7 days, 100% within 7 days.

Can I change my booking details?

Yes, but only for: passenger names, contact numbers, number of passengers, and luggage count (within the booked vehicle's capacity). One free modification is allowed if your booking is eligible. For other changes — including route, vehicle category or pickup point — you'll need to cancel and rebook at the current price.

How long do refunds take to process?

Approved refunds are processed within 14 days to your original payment method.

Common problems on the way to San Cassiano, and how hoppa solves them

Four airports that behave nothing like each other, a village that shares its name with the valley around it, and a last hour of mountain road. Each row below picks up where an arrival in Alta Badia goes wrong, and how a driver already waiting settles it.

Challenge Solution How do we solve it?
You picked the airport off a list rather than a price Compare all four before you book the flight. The spread on one identical three-seat car runs from £358 at Treviso to £625 at Verona. On an 8-seat minibus it runs from £457 at Innsbruck to £1,514 at Verona. Same village, same vehicle, and the flight is usually the cheaper half of the decision.
There are sixteen of you and you booked Innsbruck Check the ceiling, not just the fare. Innsbruck is the cheapest gateway from five seats to fourteen, and then its list ends. No 16-seat minibus, no coach, at any price. Treviso carries 16 for £2,098 and 23 for £3,490; Venice carries 16 for £2,298 and 23 for £3,823.
Your flight lands late Book a transfer with flight tracking and 24/7 support. hoppa watches your inbound flight and moves the pickup to match. Airport arrivals carry 60 minutes of free waiting after your scheduled landing, plus 30 minutes more on international flights. The driver is already assigned, so nothing has to be found at the kerb.
The address you typed is the valley, not the village Give the property name and the village, not the ski area. Alta Badia is a valley of several villages and San Cassiano is one of them. Naming the ski area sends the driver to a lift station rather than to your door. Type the hotel or apartment name with San Cassiano beside it and the driver goes to the building.
Your skis and boards do not fit the car that turns up Declare the gear at booking, not at the kerb. Say how many ski, board and boot bags you are carrying and the vehicle sent has the space. One bag per person up to 24 inches is standard and anything longer counts as two pieces, which a ski bag almost always does. From Treviso the jump from car to MPV is £358 to £428.
Five of you, and you were about to book two cars Look at the small minibuses before the MPVs. Innsbruck prices a 5-seat minibus at £413, below its own 5-seat MPV at £456 and below every MPV on the other three routes. It is the one size where the vehicle you would not have searched for is the one that wins.
You are crossing a border without thinking about it Book the transfer for the airport you actually land at. Innsbruck is in Austria and San Cassiano is in Italy, so that gateway is an international leg with a frontier on it, while Venice, Treviso and Verona stay inside Italy. Your quote covers the whole run either way. It is worth knowing before you arrive with a hire car and no idea.
The last hour is mountain road and you are driving it yourself Use a vetted local operator who works these valleys in winter. Three of the four gateways sit on the plain and the village sits high in the Dolomites, so every one of these journeys ends by climbing. That stretch takes weather hard while the valley floor is merely wet. Local operators run winter-equipped vehicles and know which way round the mountain is moving.

Why do San Cassiano travellers choose a private transfer with hoppa?

Because the public route stops a long way short. The closest stations are Bolzano and Brunico, and Bolzano is 75 km and about 1 hour 45 by road from the village, so the train answer is a rail leg, a change, and then a car with the ski bags anyway.

A transfer booked ahead carries you and the gear from the arrivals hall to the door of the building you are sleeping in, in one vehicle, for a figure settled before you flew.

  • One fixed price, agreed at booking. Half-term week does not lift it and snow on the road does not lift it.
  • Door to door, to your San Cassiano hotel, apartment or chalet rather than to a lift station in the next village.
  • Room for the gear. Give the ski and board bag count at booking. It decides which vehicle turns up, and the run down from Venice is a long way to spend with a board bag across your knees.
  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel on vehicles seating 7 or fewer.
  • Flight tracking with 60 minutes of free waiting after your scheduled landing, plus a 30 minute international buffer.
  With a standard ride app When you book with hoppa
Choosing the airport You book the flight first and find out what the ground leg costs afterwards. Four gateways priced side by side before you commit: £358, £376, £392 and £625 for the same private car.
Travelling as sixteen Sixteen flights to Innsbruck, then no vehicle at that airport will take you. Treviso at £2,098 or Venice at £2,298, confirmed before anyone pays for a seat.
The driver Whoever accepts a run into the Dolomites on a February evening, if anyone does. A vetted local operator who works these valleys through the winter, confirmed before you fly.
The price A meter, or a rate quoted at the kerb once the driver sees four board bags. A fixed all-in price agreed at booking. Taxes and the driver's fee are already inside it.
The vehicle A saloon with a boot for two suitcases, and the snowboards left on the pavement. Sized from the gear you declared, and winter-equipped for the climb at the end.
A delayed flight The ride is gone and you rebook from the terminal at whatever the late rate is. The pickup moves with your inbound flight. 60 minutes of free waiting, plus 30 more on an international arrival.
Where you are dropped A lift station somewhere in Alta Badia, with the bags and a map. The door of the address you named in San Cassiano itself.
When plans change A non-refundable booking, or a phone queue. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel on 7 seats and under. Support answers in an average of 11 seconds, 24/7.

How long is the transfer from Venice, Innsbruck or Verona to San Cassiano?

Between about 2 hours 30 and about 3 hours 30, depending on which airport you fly into. Innsbruck is the shortest at 130 km and about 2 hours 30, Venice Marco Polo is 180 km and about 3 hours, and Verona is the longest at 250 km and about 3 hours 30.

Treviso is the fourth gateway and the cheapest one, at £358 for a private car. No reliable distance or drive time is published for that route, so it is quoted here on fare alone and the timing comes from the booking screen. A number nobody can source would be worse than no number at all.

Route Drive time Approx. cost per vehicle Vehicle type
Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) to San Cassiano ~3 hr · 180 km £392–£582private car to 8-seat minibus Private car up to an 8-seat minibus. Widest flight choice, and the cheapest executive and luxury cars of the four
Innsbruck Airport (INN) to San Cassiano ~2 hr 30 min · 130 km £376–£457private car to 8-seat minibus Private car up to an 8-seat minibus. Cheapest from 5 seats to 14, and nothing at all above 14
Treviso Airport (TSF) to San Cassiano Distance and drive time not published £358–£532private car to 8-seat minibus Private car up to an 8-seat minibus. The cheapest car, MPV, 16-seater and coach of the four
Verona Airport (VRN) to San Cassiano ~3 hr 30 min · 250 km £625–£1,514private car to 8-seat minibus Private car up to an 8-seat minibus. The longest drive and the dearest fare at every size

Please note: Distances and drive times are the resort page's own figures and assume clear roads; the stretch that slows in weather is the climb at the end rather than the plain. Treviso is the one gateway with no published distance or drive time, so it is quoted on fare alone and the journey time is confirmed on the booking screen. Each price runs from a private car to the cheapest 8-seat minibus that route returns, so the top of the range is a bigger vehicle rather than a surcharge. Prices are indicative.

How much is a transfer to San Cassiano?

From £358 one way for the car out of Treviso, up to three of you with the skis in the back. You are booking the vehicle, so the figure does not change when the second and third person get in.

Above three seats the cheapest airport changes. Innsbruck owns the middle of the table — its five-seat minibus undercuts every MPV on this page, and it carries you all the way to fourteen. Past fourteen, only Treviso and Venice have anything at all.

The table below lists what each gateway actually returns. Verona is on it for completeness; it is the dearest door into Alta Badia at every size. Prices are indicative.

Not every group needs a private car, and on this route the vehicle decides the airport as often as the airport decides the vehicle. Beyond the priced options above, hoppa runs a wider range of vehicle types:

  • Wheelchair accessible minibus: 1 to 6 seats, for travellers and families with mobility needs. Request it at booking.
  • Private coach: up to 60 seats for a club trip or a corporate group, from £3,490 out of Treviso and £3,823 out of Venice for 23 seats. Vehicles seating 16 or more need 14 days' notice to cancel free of charge.

Child seats are free: the first one at no charge, requested at booking. Pets and service animals are permitted and count toward the vehicle's passenger allowance.

Vehicle type Max passengers Luggage capacity Why choose this option? Estimated price (one-way)
Private car (Treviso) Up to 3 Up to 3 ski or board bags The cheapest way into the village door to door, and the reason this page no longer leaves Treviso in a bracket. Couples and threes with a bag each. From £358
Private car (Innsbruck) Up to 3 Up to 3 ski or board bags The shortest drive of the four at 130 km, and an Austrian flight market that many people booking an Italian ski week never look at. From £376
Private car (Venice Marco Polo) Up to 3 Up to 3 ski or board bags The widest flight choice of the four, and the gateway most people already have in mind when they start searching. From £392
Private MPV (Treviso) Up to 4 Up to 4 ski or board bags Families who need boot space as much as seats. Five seats is £463 on the same route, and a 5-seat minibus from Innsbruck undercuts both. From £428
Small minibus (Innsbruck) Up to 5 Up to 5 ski or board bags The vehicle most people never search for. It is cheaper than every 5-seat MPV on all four routes, and it has the boot of a van. From £413
Private minibus (Innsbruck, 7 to 8) Up to 8 Up to 8 ski or board bags The cheapest way per head for a chalet group, and the reason a group of eight looks at Austria before it looks at Verona. From £426
Large minibus (Innsbruck, 10 to 14) Up to 14 Up to 14 ski or board bags Club trips and extended families, and the top of what this gateway can do. Vehicles seating 8 to 14 need 48 hours' notice to cancel free of charge. From £1,146
16-seat minibus (Treviso) Up to 16 Up to 16 ski or board bags School groups and big parties. Innsbruck cannot carry this size at all, so the choice is Treviso or Venice at £2,298. From £2,098
Executive car (Venice Marco Polo) Up to 3 Up to 3 ski or board bags The one class Venice wins outright. Treviso is £438 and Innsbruck £536 for the same upgrade. From £403
Private car (Verona) Up to 3 Up to 3 ski or board bags The longest drive and the dearest car. Worth it only when Verona holds the flight you need. From £625

Read this before you pick the airport:

  • Count the group first. Innsbruck is cheapest from 5 seats to 14 and carries nothing above 14. Treviso and Venice both reach 16 and a 23-seat coach. You cannot move a booked transfer to another airport on the day.
  • Treviso is the cheapest gateway and the least advertised. £358 for a car against £625 from Verona. What it does not have is a published drive time, so leave the afternoon open.
  • Type the village, not the valley. Alta Badia has several villages in it and San Cassiano is one of them. Give the property name so the driver has the building.
  • Declare the ski bags. One bag per person up to 24 inches is standard; over 24 inches counts as two pieces, and that changes the vehicle you need.
  • Ask for the child seat at booking. The first one is free, but it has to be requested in advance.
  • Cancellation runs off the vehicle size. 24 hours on 7 seats and under, 48 hours on 8 to 14, 14 days on 16 and above.
  • Booking inside 24 hours still works, though an expedited booking fee applies.

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel on vehicles seating 7 or fewer.

How else can you get to San Cassiano?

Not easily, and it is worth being straight about that. The closest stations are Bolzano and Brunico, and Bolzano is 75 km and about 1 hour 45 from the village by road, so every rail plan ends with a car and the ski bags anyway.

That is the gap a transfer fills here. Compare the options below on where each one actually leaves you standing, not on the headline fare.

Transport option Indicative price to San Cassiano Journey time What's included / what to watch for
hoppa private car (Treviso Airport to San Cassiano) From £358 per vehicle Not published The cheapest fixed all-in fare into the village from anywhere. A named driver waits inside arrivals, and you are dropped at the property you named. The one thing this route does not give you in advance is a drive time, so confirm it on the booking screen before you plan the first evening.
hoppa private car (Venice Marco Polo Airport to San Cassiano) From £392 per vehicle ~3 hr · 180 km The gateway with the widest flight choice, and the one most people search for. 180 km north from the coast into the Dolomites. It is also the cheapest of the four for an executive car at £403 and a luxury car at £622, which is where Venice genuinely wins.
hoppa private minibus (Innsbruck Airport to San Cassiano) From £457 per vehicle ~2 hr 30 min · 130 km The cheapest way to move a group of five to fourteen. £457 for eight against £1,514 from Verona, on the shortest drive of the four. Innsbruck is in Austria, so this leg crosses a frontier and the fixed price is unaffected. There is no shared shuttle on this route, so a private vehicle is the hoppa option either way.
Train to Bolzano or Brunico, then a road leg Ticketed per person, plus the car Rail, then about 1 hr 45 from Bolzano The nearest thing to a rail option, and it stops well short. Bolzano and Brunico are the closest stations to the village and neither is close. Bolzano is 75 km and about 1 hour 45 away by road, so you finish with a taxi or a transfer regardless, having moved the ski bags twice more than you needed to.
Hire car from the airport Day rate + fuel 2 hr 30 min to 3 hr 30 min A fair choice if you want the car all week, because Arabba, Val Gardena and Cortina d'Ampezzo are all worth a day and none of them is next door. Weigh it against the drive: every one of these four routes ends by climbing into the Dolomites, and you would be taking that on in an unfamiliar car after a flight.
Turning up and hoping for a taxi No fixed price Varies Avoid. This is a run of two and a half to three and a half hours into the mountains, and not every driver at the rank will take it. No fixed price, no guarantee the car takes four board bags, and no recourse if nobody will go that far at that hour. Book ahead instead.

What should you know about skiing San Cassiano in winter?

San Cassiano is a small Ladin village that happens to sit on the edge of something enormous. The lift pass is Dolomiti Superski, which links over 1,200 km of pistes, so the skiing available from a village of this size is out of all proportion to the village itself. That is the reason to come, and it is also the thing to plan around.

Three things follow, and knowing them before you book is worth more than any forecast:

  • The size of the area is a travel decision, not just a ski one. With 1,200 km linked on one pass you can ski a long way from your bed, and getting back is a lift network rather than a road. Look at the map on the first morning rather than the fourth.
  • The neighbours are close enough to be part of the week. Arabba is 19 km, Val Gardena 35 km, Kronplatz 50 km and Cortina d'Ampezzo 56 km and about 1 hour 30. Some of that is skiable on the pass and some of it is a drive, which is worth sorting out before you decide whether you want a hire car.
  • Book flexibly and watch the season. Conditions in the Dolomites are usually reliable by the turn of the year, but no page should promise you snow on a given week. What the Dolomiti Superski pass does give you is somewhere else to go: over 1,200 km of linked pistes, so a thin sector is an inconvenience rather than a lost morning.

The village itself is the other half of the argument. It is narrow streets and a serious eating culture rather than a purpose-built lift station, which is why people book it and why the drop-off address matters: ask for San Cassiano and the property name, not for the ski area.

If you want a second base in the same trip, Cortina d'Ampezzo is 56 km away and Val Gardena 35 km. Both are separate transfers, so book each to the address you are actually sleeping at.

Your San Cassiano arrival guide, from the terminal to the first lift

Wheels down to a bed in the village runs between about two and a half and three and a half hours, depending which of the four airports you chose. The shape of the day is the same from all of them: oversized baggage, arrivals hall, name board, then the plain, then the climb.

Below, that day in sequence, what changes at each gateway, and why the address you type matters here more than the airport you picked.

Ski-goers' arrival guide to San Cassiano

Everything you need from wheels down to first lift in Alta Badia.

Landing at Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE)

Venice is the gateway most people searching for a Dolomites ski week already have in mind, and it has the widest flight choice of the four. It is 180 km and about 3 hours to San Cassiano, north off the coastal plain and up into the mountains, and a private car is £392.

Meeting your hoppa driver

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, holding a name board with your surname. Twenty-four hours before pickup hoppa sends a final SMS or WhatsApp with the exact spot and your driver's contact details.

  • Airport arrivals carry 60 minutes of free waiting after your scheduled landing, plus a 30 minute buffer on international flights
  • Your driver tracks the inbound flight, so a delay moves the pickup rather than losing it
  • If you cannot see them, stay where you are and call the number on your e-ticket. hoppa answers in an average of 11 seconds, and it is a person, not a chatbot
Tip: save the emergency number from your e-ticket to your phone before you leave the terminal. Signal is fine on the plain and thins out once the road starts climbing.

Baggage & ski gear

Skis and boards are checked in as special baggage and come off a designated oversized belt rather than the standard carousel. Tell hoppa how many ski, board and boot bags you are carrying when you book, so the vehicle sent has the space. The standard allowance is one bag per person up to 24 inches, and anything longer counts as two pieces, which a ski bag almost always does.

Landing somewhere else instead

Four airports price a transfer into this village and they are not interchangeable. Book the transfer for the airport you are actually landing at:

  • Treviso (TSF) — from £358, the cheapest of the four, and the only one with no published distance or drive time
  • Innsbruck (INN) — 130 km, about 2 hr 30 min, from £376. Cheapest from 5 seats to 14, and nothing above 14
  • Venice Marco Polo (VCE) — 180 km, about 3 hr, from £392. Widest flight choice, and 16 seats for £2,298
  • Verona (VRN) — 250 km, about 3 hr 30 min, from £625. The longest and the dearest at every size

Off the plain, then up

Three of the four gateways sit on the flat ground south of the mountains, so the journey has two halves: a fast run inland, then a climb into the Dolomites at the end. Innsbruck is the exception. It approaches from the Austrian side and crosses the frontier on the way down, and at 130 km it is the shortest of the four.

Worth knowing: you will see wildly different distances quoted for the Venice run — 123 km and 173 km both circulate — because operators measure the route differently. The figure used here is the resort's own 180 km, which is the actual road distance. Do not plan against anything shorter.

Where you are dropped, and why the address matters

Alta Badia is a valley with several villages in it, and San Cassiano is one of them, not a synonym for the whole area. Type the ski area into the booking and a driver can reasonably take you to a lift station in the next village along with the bags.

  • Give the property name — hotel, apartment building or chalet, exactly as it is written on your accommodation booking
  • Put San Cassiano beside it rather than Alta Badia or Dolomiti Superski
  • Add a phone number that will work in Italy, so the driver can reach you at the door rather than circling

The climb at the end

The plain is ordinary winter driving. The last part is not: the road gains height into the mountains to reach the village, and that stretch takes weather hard while the valley floor below it is merely wet. It is exactly why the operators on these routes are local and winter-equipped.

Your first day on the hill

The lift pass here is Dolomiti Superski, linking over 1,200 km of pistes, so the first decision of the week is not which run but how far from your bed you are willing to get. The terrain runs from long easy cruising to genuine black runs, and the pale rock walls above it are the reason people come back.

Getting to the lifts

  • On foot or by local ski bus — the village is small and the lifts are part of it, which is the advantage of booking a resort rather than a valley
  • Your transfer — hoppa drops you at your accommodation, so the daily run to the lifts is a separate arrangement
  • Further afield — Arabba is 19 km, Val Gardena 35 km and Kronplatz 50 km, some of it linked on the pass and some of it a drive
Tip: plan the long circuits for a settled day. On a 1,200 km network it is easy to finish a long way from the village, and the way home is a lift sequence with a closing time on it.

Timing your arrival

A morning flight into Innsbruck or Treviso has you in the village by mid-afternoon, which on a week's holiday is most of a day. An evening flight means a night arrival and a full first day instead. Transfers run through the night on these routes; a nighttime surcharge applies between 22:00 and 08:00 local time and is already inside the price you agreed.

If the weather closes in

South Tyrol is a good place to lose a day. The village has a serious eating culture for its size, Bolzano is 75 km away for a town day, and Cortina d'Ampezzo is 56 km and about 1 hour 30 if you want a change of scene rather than a change of piste.

Practical essentials

Your transfer, in numbers

  • Free waiting on airport arrivals: 60 minutes after your scheduled landing, plus a 30 minute buffer on international flights
  • Free waiting on departures and point-to-point: 15 minutes after the scheduled pickup time
  • Cancellation: 24 hours before travel on 7 seats and under, 48 hours on 8 to 14 seats, 14 days on 16 seats and above, all for a full refund
  • Child seats: the first one is free. Request it at booking
  • Luggage: one bag per person up to 24 inches. Over 24 inches counts as two pieces
  • Nighttime surcharge: 22:00 to 08:00 local time, already included in the price you agree
  • Booking inside 24 hours: possible, with an expedited booking fee
  • Pets and service animals: permitted, counting toward the vehicle's passenger allowance

Paying for it

Your transfer is paid once, upfront, in the currency you booked it in, so there is nothing to settle with the driver and no cash to find at the end of a long day. hoppa takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro and PayPal.

Crossing the border from Innsbruck

The Innsbruck run starts in Austria and finishes in Italy. Carry the documents you would carry for any international trip and keep your GHIC or EHIC to hand. Your booking is one journey end to end, frontier included, and the driver handles the crossing as part of the run.

Winter driving on these routes

The approaches across the plain are ordinary. The climb into the Dolomites at the end of each of them is not, and it can be a question in heavy snow when everything below is clear. Every vetted operator on these routes runs winter-equipped vehicles and knows the roads. If you hire a car instead, check what is fitted before you leave the airport.

If something goes wrong

hoppa's support team answers in an average of 11 seconds, 24/7, across chat, email and phone, with a 99.7% call answer rate. The hoppa help centre is the place to start if you would rather read the answer than ask for it. Any complaint must reach customer service within 30 days of the date of service.

What to expect on the road to San Cassiano

Four airports, three countries' worth of flight markets between them, and four very different fares for the same village. Here is what the drive from each one actually gets you.

Can I cancel or change my hoppa transfer?

Yes. Plans change, and hoppa prices that in rather than punishing it.

Cancellation windows depend on the size of the vehicle you booked:

  • 7-seater and below: cancel up to 24 hours before travel for a full refund.
  • 8 to 14 seater: cancel up to 48 hours before travel for a full refund.
  • 16 seater and above: cancel up to 14 days before travel for a full refund.

Changes work the same way. Amend your pickup time, flight number or drop-off address through your booking confirmation or by contacting the hoppa team. Booking inside 24 hours of travel is still possible, though an expedited booking fee applies.

Is hoppa transfer reliable?

Yes. hoppa has moved more than 40 million travellers through 2,600+ airports and resorts across 182+ countries, working with a network of 70,000+ vetted local fleet providers. hoppa is trusted by Mastercard and UnionPay as the mobility infrastructure layer for agentic travel.

On the Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) to San Cassiano route that reliability is practical, not abstract. Your driver tracks your inbound flight, so a delay moves your pickup rather than losing it. You get 60 minutes of free waiting time after your scheduled landing, plus a 30 minute buffer on international arrivals. If something does go wrong, hoppa's support team answers in an average of 11 seconds, 24/7, across chat, email and phone, with a 99.7% call answer rate.

Every vehicle on this route is operated by a vetted local company that drives the mountain roads all winter. The price you agree at booking is the price you pay, with no surcharge for snow, traffic or a late landing.

Can an AI assistant book hoppa?

Yes. hoppa is built as a global mobility platform that powers agentic transactions, which means an AI assistant can search, price and book a transfer on your behalf.

That is why hoppa is trusted by Mastercard and UnionPay as the mobility infrastructure layer for agentic travel. Fixed, all-in pricing and a structured inventory of 70,000+ vetted local fleet providers give an AI agent something unambiguous to act on: one price, one vehicle, one confirmed pickup.

Ask your assistant for a Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) to San Cassiano transfer and it can return live availability, vehicle sizes and a fixed price without you opening a booking form.

Arrive happy & ready for the slopes with hoppa

Pick the airport on your headcount, not on the name you recognise. Treviso is the cheapest way in for a car, Innsbruck takes over from five seats to fourteen, and above that only Treviso or Venice can help at all. The table above has the figures.

Then get the address right. Alta Badia is a valley and San Cassiano is one village in it, so name the building you are sleeping in.

San Cassiano transfers: frequently asked questions

What is the nearest airport to San Cassiano?

Of the four airports hoppa prices a transfer from, Innsbruck is the shortest drive at 130 km and about 2 hours 30. Venice Marco Polo is 180 km and about 3 hours, Verona 250 km and about 3 hours 30. Treviso is priced but has no published distance, so it is quoted on fare alone.

What does a private car cost from each airport?

For the identical three-seat car: £358 from Treviso, £376 from Innsbruck, £392 from Venice Marco Polo and £625 from Verona. Each figure is for the car, whether one of you travels or three. Prices are indicative and fixed at the moment you book.

How do I get to San Cassiano from Innsbruck?

By private transfer it is 130 km and about 2 hours 30, south out of Austria and over the frontier into South Tyrol. A private car is £376, a 5-seat minibus £413, an 8-seater £457 and a 14-seater £1,346. For any party between five and fourteen this is the gateway to choose.

Can hoppa take a group of sixteen to San Cassiano?

Yes, but not from Innsbruck, which returns nothing above 14 seats on this route. A 16-seat minibus is £2,098 from Treviso and £2,298 from Venice, and Verona can do it at £2,721. Vehicles seating 16 or more need 14 days' notice to cancel free of charge, so book that one early.

Why is Verona so much more expensive than the other airports?

It is the longest drive of the four at 250 km, and the fares reflect it on every vehicle: £625 for a private car, £911 for an MPV, £1,514 for an 8-seat minibus. If your flight lands there it is a perfectly good transfer. If you are still choosing, the other three are cheaper.

Is there a train to San Cassiano?

Not to the village. Bolzano and Brunico are the closest stations, and Bolzano is still 75 km and about 1 hour 45 away by road. You would finish with a car either way, having moved the ski bags through two extra changes, which is the part people underestimate.

Which ski areas are near San Cassiano?

Arabba is 19 km, Val Gardena 35 km and about an hour, Kronplatz 50 km, and Cortina d'Ampezzo 56 km and about 1 hour 30. Val di Fiemme is 69 km and Tre Valli 80 km. Much of it is linked on the Dolomiti Superski pass rather than needing a car.

Can I take ski and snowboard bags in a hoppa transfer to San Cassiano?

Yes, and this is the thing to declare when you book. The standard allowance is one case up to 24 inches per passenger, and anything longer counts as two pieces, which a ski or board bag almost always does. Say how many you are bringing and the operator sends a vehicle with the boot for them.

Can I get a child seat for the transfer to San Cassiano?

Yes, and the first seat costs nothing. Name the type you need at booking so it is fitted before the car leaves the terminal. That holds whichever of the four gateways you fly into — the request travels with the booking, not with the airport. Add a second seat in the same booking if you need one.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

hoppa tracks your inbound flight and moves the pickup to match. Airport arrivals carry 60 minutes of free waiting after your scheduled landing, plus a 30 minute buffer on international flights, and support answers in an average of 11 seconds if you need it.

Will the driver take us to our hotel in San Cassiano itself?

Yes. Give the property name with San Cassiano beside it, not Alta Badia or the name of the ski area, because the valley holds several villages and the lift stations are not all in this one. With the building named, the driver goes to the door.

How big is the ski area on the lift pass?

Dolomiti Superski links over 1,200 km of pistes, and San Cassiano sits on it. That is far more terrain than a village this size would suggest, which is the reason to base yourself here rather than in a bigger, busier resort.

Can I change or cancel my San Cassiano transfer?

Yes, and the window runs off the vehicle. Seven seats and under cancel free up to 24 hours before travel, 8 to 14 seats need 48 hours, and 16 seats and above need 14 days, each for a full refund. Booking inside 24 hours is still possible with an expedited booking fee.
