The World Economic Forum Davos 2026 is one of the most anticipated global events — a week when world leaders, business executives, and innovators gather in the Swiss Alps to shape the future of global cooperation. With tight security zones, high-profile venues, and snowy mountain roads, understanding the WEF Davos map is essential for a smooth and stress-free experience.
Whether you’re flying into Zurich Airport (ZRH), knowing how to reach Davos and move around the city efficiently is key — and that’s where Express Transfer GmbH’s official WEF chauffeur services make all the difference.
Understanding the WEF Davos Map
The World Economic Forum takes place in Davos-Klosters, in the Graubünden region of eastern Switzerland, about 155 km (2.5 hours) from Zurich.
On the WEF Davos 2026 map, the most important locations include:
-
Congress Centre Davos (Kongresszentrum Davos) – The heart of the Forum, where major discussions and panels take place.
-
Promenade Street (Promenade Davos) – The main hub for hotels, pavilions, business lounges, and networking events.
-
Parsenn and Schatzalp – Known for their private receptions and panoramic mountain views.
-
Hotel & Residential Areas (See and Dorf) – Exclusive accommodations for VIPs, CEOs, and government delegations.
Because of the Forum’s global importance, the town is divided into security-controlled zones. Only vehicles with official WEF access permits can enter restricted areas near key venues, including the Congress Centre and major hotels.
How to Get from Zurich to Davos
The most popular and convenient route to Davos begins at Zurich Airport or Zurich GAT (Private Jet Terminal).
The journey takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes and follows a scenic drive along:
-
A3 motorway past Lake Zurich and the Walensee valley,
-
then A13/A28 via Landquart and Klosters,
-
before reaching Davos Platz and Davos Dorf.
During winter, driving can be challenging due to icy roads, snow, and limited visibility. That’s why most visitors, delegates, and corporate groups choose Express Transfer GmbH’s luxury chauffeur service, ensuring safe, punctual, and authorized access throughout WEF week.
Why Chauffeur Service Is the Best Way to Navigate Davos
The WEF Davos map may look simple, but moving between venues during the Forum can be complicated. Streets are congested, many areas are pedestrian-only, and parking is extremely limited.
Here’s why booking a professional chauffeur is the smartest choice:
-
Official WEF Access Permits — Our fleet is authorized to enter restricted security zones, offering door-to-door drop-offs.
-
Guaranteed Punctuality — We plan every route based on WEF traffic updates and road closures.
-
Winter-Ready Luxury Fleet — Equipped with snow tires, 4MATIC drive, and heated interiors for maximum comfort.
-
Experienced, Multilingual Chauffeurs — Trained for WEF logistics, VIP protocol, and security procedures.

Express Transfer GmbH provides transfers from Zurich, Basel, and St. Gallen — with 24/7 operation during the entire WEF week.
Navigating Inside Davos During WEF Week
Once you arrive in Davos, the Promenade becomes the event’s main artery. The walking distances between venues may seem short, but in freezing weather or under tight schedules, having a dedicated daily chauffeur is invaluable.
We provide hourly and full-day chauffeur services, offering:
-
Flexible transportation between meetings, dinners, and receptions.
-
On-demand pickups from hotels, restaurants, and venues.
-
