hobbiteater, 2.5 - 3 hours. No pitfalls if you stay on the road. Drive Munich->Garmisch->Fernpass->Imst->Landeck->Ischgl (via Paznauntal).
Fernpass and Paznaun Valley can be slow if you end up behind the Dutch, so leave Munich early (like 6.30AM). And remember to buy the Austrian Motorway Vignette before going onto the motorway at Imst.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

hobbiteater, Fernpass ia always open. Never known it to be closed. Paznaun valley is a different story. Ischgl quite often gets cut off from the outside world for a day or two.

I'd be inclined to stay on the motorway myself ... the Fernpass can be pretty slow with lorries and or tourists depending on what time, day of week etc ... it's much easier to find your way if you're coming from the airport as well.
from airport follow signs to Munich then Rosenheim and Salzburg then Innsbruck ... keep on past Innsbruck and get off motorway at Landeck and follow the Silvretta signs
it's quite a bit further but about the same time on a good day and a lot quicker on a slow day
however if you've got plenty of time, the Fernpass is a damn site prettier
I admire your choice of resort though .. Ischgl rocks IMHO !!

RichA, going that way adds about one hour min. to your journey. Ok Fernpass can be slow ( that's why I said leave at 6.30 and beat the Dutch ) but getting past Innsbruck isn't fun either, and not forgettin all the roadworks between Rosenheim anf Kufstein, and that it's at least 80Km further. Having gone both ways many times, my advice would always be to go over Fernpass. If I leave early from Munich I can get from Munich to St.Anton in 2H15 these days by going over Fernpass. There is no way you'd make it (legally) in that time via Innsbruck.
