Your Transfer: What to Expect

Pickup: After you clear customs and collect your luggage, your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 — whichever matches your flight. You'll spot them holding a name board with your details. From there, it's a short walk to your vehicle parked nearby. No queues, no confusion, no hunting for a taxi rank.

The Route: Your driver takes the A1 motorway west from Zurich Airport, passing through Zurich's northern suburbs before reaching Baden in approximately 25 minutes. The route is entirely motorway until the Baden exit, where a short descent brings you into the historic spa town, dramatically situated where the Limmat river cuts through a narrow gorge in the Lägern hills.

Duration & Traffic: Under normal conditions the drive takes approximately 25 min. The A1 west of Zurich can experience congestion during morning rush hours (7:00–9:00 AM), particularly around the Baregg tunnel. Outside peak hours the drive is quick and straightforward.

Baden: What Awaits You

Baden has been a spa destination since Roman times — the natural hot springs that bubble up at 47°C along the Limmat river attracted the Romans, who built elaborate bath complexes here two thousand years ago. Today, the Fortyseven wellness centre continues this tradition with modern thermal pools fed by the same mineral-rich sources. The medieval old town climbs steeply from the river, crowned by the ruins of Stein Castle with commanding views over the Limmat valley. Baden is also an important industrial town — ABB (formerly Brown Boveri) was founded here, and the company's heritage is woven into the city's identity. The Langmatt Museum, housed in an Art Nouveau villa, contains an impressive private collection of French Impressionist paintings. The covered wooden bridge spanning the Limmat is one of the most photographed landmarks in Aargau canton.
