WEF 2027 in Davos: Getting There from Zurich

The World Economic Forum gathers in Davos every January, and the same question comes up each year: what's the smoothest way from Zurich into the mountains? A little planning and the right route go a long way — and a chauffeur who already knows the week goes further.

The route at a glance

Zurich to Davos is roughly 170 kilometres. Via the A3 and A13 motorways to Chur, then through Landquart and Klosters, the drive normally takes about two to two and a half hours. During the WEF week, with extra traffic and checkpoints, plan for three to four.

Security zones and access restrictions

During the Forum, Davos and its approaches operate under significantly tighter security. Parts of the access roads require accreditation or a valid invitation, and checkpoints are common from Landquart or Klosters onward. Anyone unfamiliar with the routine loses time here — a chauffeur who knows the checkpoints and that week's rules gets guests through without detours.

Winter roads in January

The route crosses mountain roads that are properly wintry in January. Snow chains, winter tyres and experience with snow-covered bends aren't optional. Weather-related flight delays are also part of the season — one more reason to rely on a transfer that can flex around a changed arrival time.

Why a private transfer from Zurich makes sense

• Door-to-door from Zurich Airport to Davos, with no connections and no waiting.

• Room for luggage, ski equipment and security detail that a shared carriage doesn't offer.

• Private time in the car for calls or last preparation before the next meeting.

• Flexibility when flight or train times shift at short notice during WEF week.

Anyone planning a stress-free arrival for WEF 2027 should book a private transfer from Zurich early — vehicles and chauffeurs are in high demand that week.
