TAR 20 Transport
Jimmer:
That is a possibility. The only thing is the teams would have to cross the borders of countries twice (That is Italy -> Switzerland and Switzerland -> Germany). The Amazing Race has had teams cross borders. Season 19 had teams cross Denmark to Germany. The reason why I doubt it is because I do not believe ever in the history of the Amazing Race that teams have driven completely through a country, in this case Switzerland, without a single clue box or task. (If someone can back me up on that, it would be helpful.)
Another thing to throw out there is that it is a 1.5 hour drive, according to Mapquest, from the Munich airport to Neuschwanstien Castle.
apskip:
With the time lost going to Turin airport (including ticketing, security, etc.), flying to Munich taking about 100 minutes and a 2 hour drive from Munich to Fussen, I estimate that the total time to fly from a downtown Torino starting point and end up in Fussen would be 6 hours. That assumes that you have such a flight perfectly timed from Torino to Munich. My opinion is that the 6 hour drive would be a MUCH better choice if that is offered.

Crossing borders shouldn't be an issue within the European Customs Union area, right?

No, but the shortest route goes through Switzerland, which is not part of Schengen. So at those borders there will be a passport control and possibly some paperwork due to the cameras etc.
It might be worth it to take the slightly longer (6.5h vs 6h) route over Austria because then the entire trip is within Schengen and there will be no border controls.
Jimmer:
This is very interesting! I still do not believe TAR would have teams drive through an entire country without a clue box or task. Additionally, what would the first clue say?. Drive yourselves to Neuschwanstien Castle, Germany. That would seem very strange.
