Each year, Davos becomes the epicenter of major international gatherings, bringing together global leaders, executives, and decision-makers from around the world. As one of Switzerland’s most high-profile event periods, it demands precision, security, and comfort in every detail—including how you travel.
If you are planning to attend major international events in Davos, arranging your private transfer early is one of the smartest decisions you can make.
In this guide, you’ll discover the best transfer options, key travel routes, and how Express Transfer GmbH ensures a seamless, luxurious, and secure journey from Zurich, Basel, or St. Gallen directly to your hotel or approved destination in Davos.
Why Davos Travel Requires Professional Planning
During peak international event periods, Davos operates under heightened security and traffic regulation. Vehicle access is controlled, routes may be restricted, and timing becomes critical.
This is why experienced chauffeur providers play a key role—ensuring:
-
Proper access coordination
-
Smooth arrivals without unnecessary stops
-
Reliable travel despite winter conditions
Professional planning transforms a complex journey into a calm, controlled experience.
How to Reach Davos from Zurich
Most international travelers arrive via Zurich Airport or Zurich’s private aviation terminals before continuing to Davos. The journey covers approximately 155 km and typically takes around 2.5 hours, depending on conditions.
Common Route:
Zurich → Lake Zurich → Walensee → Landquart → Klosters → Davos
While scenic, this Alpine route can be challenging in winter, with snow, ice, and controlled access points. For this reason, executives, VIPs, and delegations rely on chauffeur-driven transfers for safety, punctuality, and comfort.
Why Choose a Chauffeur Service for Davos Transfers
During high-profile event periods, Davos becomes a restricted-access environment. Only approved vehicles may reach certain hotels and designated arrival points.
Choosing a professional chauffeur service ensures:
-
Approved vehicle access for direct arrival
-
Professional multilingual chauffeurs trained in protocol and discretion
-
Premium vehicles suited for executive travel
-
Winter-ready safety, including all-wheel drive and seasonal equipment
