Every January, the quiet alpine resort of Davos, Switzerland transforms into the center of global attention. The World Economic Forum (WEF) brings together political leaders, top executives, academics, and innovators to discuss pressing global challenges and shape the future of the world economy.
As the countdown to WEF Davos 2026 begins, attendees are already preparing their travel plans — and for good reason. The week-long event draws thousands of participants, turning this charming mountain town into one of the most exclusive and secure destinations in the world.
When and Where Is WEF Davos 2026?
The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 will take place from January 19 to 23, 2026, in Davos, Switzerland — a scenic town located in the Swiss Alps, in the canton of Graubünden.
The main venue, the Congress Centre Davos, will once again host a series of high-profile discussions, workshops, and events on topics such as climate innovation, AI governance, global finance, and sustainability.
Surrounded by snow-covered peaks, Davos provides the perfect setting for collaboration and diplomacy — combining Swiss efficiency with world-class hospitality.
What Is the World Economic Forum (WEF)?
Founded in 1971 by Professor Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum is a Swiss-based non-profit organization that engages leaders in politics, business, and society to improve the state of the world.
The annual Davos meeting has become a symbol of international dialogue — where presidents, CEOs, and visionaries meet to shape global policy. WEF Davos 2026 will continue this legacy, focusing on innovation, inclusion, and international cooperation.
How to Get from Zurich to Davos
While Davos offers breathtaking views and serene landscapes, getting there during WEF week requires careful planning.
The mountain roads can be busy, and security checkpoints limit access to certain areas. That’s why most attendees arrive through Zurich Airport (ZRH) — Switzerland’s main international hub — and then continue by private chauffeur service for a direct, stress-free journey.
