WEF Davos
Chauffeur service for the WEF in Davos
During the World Economic Forum, Davos is a different place: closed roads, security zones, fully booked vehicles. We plan your week in advance — transfer, on-site vehicle and departure from one provider.
- Zurich Airport ↔ Davos transfer at a fixed price
- Vehicle with chauffeur for the whole WEF week
- Familiar with access permits and security zones
- Multiple vehicles available for delegations
Book early
Capacity for WEF week is routinely sold out by the end of November. We recommend reserving your transfer and on-site vehicle together and as early as possible — ideally in October.
For delegations we coordinate several vehicles, driver changeovers and standby time in Davos so your guests can move independently.
- Arrival: transfer from ZRH with meet and greet in arrivals
- On site: vehicle with chauffeur, hourly or per day
- Night standby for late evening commitments
- Departure: hotel pickup with a buffer for security checks
The road to Davos
It is around two hours from Zurich Airport via Landquart and the Prättigau valley. In heavy snow we plan extra time; winter tyres and snow chains are on board from November to April.
The fixed price applies regardless of traffic, diversions or waiting time at the airport.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I get from Zurich Airport to Davos?
- By road it is around 150 kilometres and about two hours via Landquart and the Prättigau valley. By train you travel from the airport via Zurich HB and Landquart with at least one change — realistically 2 hours 45 to 3 hours with luggage. A chauffeur takes you door to door without changing trains, and we handle your bags from the arrivals hall.
- What is the best way to travel to Davos during the WEF?
- For most guests, a private transfer from Zurich Airport: no changes, no hauling luggage, and the pickup time follows your actual landing. The train is the cheaper alternative and runs very full during WEF week. Helicopter transfers are possible but weather-dependent and constrained by airspace restrictions during the forum.
- How long does the drive from Zurich to Davos take?
- Around two hours in normal conditions. In heavy snow, convoy traffic or security checks during WEF week we deliberately plan extra time and tell you in advance if we should leave earlier.
- How much does a Zurich to Davos transfer cost during the WEF?
- For Zurich Airport to Davos we agree a fixed price per vehicle class that holds whatever traffic, diversions or airport waiting time do. We give you the price when we speak — call us or send a request. We do not charge WEF surcharges.
- When should I book my WEF transfer?
- As early as possible, ideally in October. From late November, capacity for WEF week is usually sold out — that applies to essentially every serious operator in the region.
- Can you provide a car and chauffeur in Davos for the whole WEF week?
- Yes. We station a vehicle and chauffeur on site — hourly or as a day rate, including night standby for late meetings and receptions. That is the usual arrangement for delegations moving between the congress centre, hotels and evening events.
- Do I need a permit to drive into Davos during the WEF?
- Not to reach Davos itself. Within the town, WEF week brings security zones, checkpoints and restricted access that are set afresh each year. Our chauffeurs know the current arrangements and where they are allowed to set you down.
- Where will the chauffeur drop me off in Davos?
- As close as that year's access rules allow — for most hotels, directly at the entrance. For addresses inside a security zone we take you to the nearest checkpoint and agree the exact spot with you beforehand.
- Do you also drive to Klosters, Landquart or Chur?
- Yes. Many guests stay outside Davos during the WEF because rooms there are gone. We serve everywhere in the Prättigau and the Grisons Rhine valley, and handle the daily commute into Davos.
- What happens if my flight is delayed?
- Nothing — except that we arrive later. We monitor your flight number and move the pickup to match the actual landing. For airport pickups, up to 60 minutes of waiting is included in the fixed price.
- Do you collect from the private aviation terminal?
- Yes, from the general aviation terminal in Zurich, and on request from Samedan, St. Gallen-Altenrhein or Dübendorf. Please state the terminal when booking so the chauffeur waits in the right place.
- Can you coordinate several vehicles for a delegation?
- Yes. We provide multiple vehicles with matched arrival times, coordinate driver changeovers and standby time in Davos, and give you one point of contact for the whole week.
- Are your vehicles equipped for snow and mountain roads?
- From November to April every vehicle runs winter tyres and carries snow chains. Our chauffeurs drive the Davos route regularly and know the winter pass conditions and diversions.
- Is discretion guaranteed during the WEF?
- Yes. We do not pass on guests' names or travel details. We will sign a non-disclosure agreement before the assignment on request.
- How should I plan the departure on the last day of the WEF?
- The final day is the bottleneck — everyone leaves at once. We plan the hotel pickup with a clear buffer for checkpoints and convoy traffic, working back from your departure time rather than from a standard journey time.
- Do you offer short journeys within Davos?
- Yes, as part of an hourly booking. For individual short hops between hotel and congress centre, a vehicle stationed on site is almost always more practical and cheaper than separate transfers.
- Which airport is best for reaching Davos?
- Zurich, at roughly two hours' drive, is the obvious choice. Munich or Milan are four to five hours depending on traffic — workable, but only worth it if the flight connection is significantly better. We serve all three.
- What is included in the price?
- Fuel, tolls, vignettes, parking at the pickup point, luggage, child seats and, for airport pickups, up to 60 minutes of waiting. There is no WEF surcharge and no night surcharge on the inbound journey.
