The World Economic Forum Davos 2026 is fast approaching — an event that brings together world leaders, CEOs, and visionaries from around the globe. As one of Switzerland’s most prestigious gatherings, it demands precision, security, and comfort in every detail — including how you get there.
If you’re planning to attend WEF Davos 2026, arranging your private transfer to Davos early is one of the smartest decisions you can make.
In this guide, you’ll discover the best transfer options, travel routes, and how Express Transfer GmbH ensures a seamless, luxurious, and secure journey from Zurich Airport, Basel, or St. Gallen directly to your hotel or venue in Davos.
What Is WEF Davos 2026?
The World Economic Forum (WEF) will take place from January 19–23, 2026, in the alpine town of Davos-Klosters, Switzerland.
It’s an annual meeting where global leaders discuss major issues, from climate change to economic cooperation, innovation, and sustainability.
Davos becomes a highly secured, traffic-regulated area during the Forum — meaning mobility requires careful planning and official permits for vehicle access. That’s where professional chauffeur companies like Express Transfer GmbH play a vital role.
How to Get to Davos from Zurich Airport
Most international attendees fly into Zurich Airport (ZRH) or Zurich GAT (Private Jet Terminal) before traveling to Davos. The journey covers about 155 kilometers and takes around 2.5 hours under normal conditions.
Main Route:
-
Zurich → Lake Zurich → Walensee → Landquart → Klosters → Davos
While scenic, this route can be challenging in winter conditions, with snow, ice, and restricted access in certain areas. That’s why VIPs, executives, and government delegations rely on chauffeur-driven transfers for comfort, safety, and punctuality.
Why Choose a Chauffeur Service for WEF Davos Transfers
During WEF week, Davos transforms into a high-security zone. Only vehicles with official WEF access permits can enter restricted areas near hotels and venues such as the Congress Centre Davos.
Here’s why booking an official WEF chauffeur service with Express Transfer GmbH is the best decision:
-
Official WEF Vehicle Permits – Direct access to restricted zones and event venues.
