Your Transfer: What to Expect
Pickup: Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, holding a name board with your details. After a brief greeting, they handle your luggage and escort you to your vehicle in the short-term parking area — typically no more than a three-minute walk. There is no need to queue, navigate public transport signage, or drag bags through the terminal.
The Route: From Zurich Airport, you head southeast on the A3 towards Chur, passing Lake Walensee — one of Switzerland's most scenic stretches of motorway, where turquoise water meets sheer cliff faces. After Chur, the route picks up the A13 before climbing into the Prättigau valley via the elegant resort town of Klosters. The final approach winds through forested alpine terrain before reaching Davos, sitting at 1,560 metres elevation.
Duration & Traffic: Allow 2 to 2.5 hours for the journey. In summer, the drive typically takes around 2 hours with lighter traffic and clear roads. In winter, conditions through the Prättigau valley can slow the final stretch — snowfall and reduced visibility occasionally add 20–30 minutes. Your driver monitors conditions in advance and adjusts departure timing accordingly.
Arrival: Your driver delivers you directly to your accommodation, whether that is a five-star hotel in Davos Platz, a ski chalet above Davos Dorf, or the Congress Centre for a conference. There is no final taxi leg, no dragging luggage uphill from a train station — just a smooth handoff at your exact destination.

Davos: What Awaits You
Davos holds the distinction of being the highest city in Europe at 1,560 metres, and it commands global attention each January as host of the World Economic Forum. Beyond the conference circuit, Davos is home to the Parsenn ski area — the largest in Graubünden — with over 100 kilometres of runs stretching from the Weissfluhjoch summit down to Küblis. In summer, the same mountains transform into one of Switzerland's finest hiking and mountain biking networks, with trails reaching pristine alpine lakes that most visitors never discover. An insider tip: take the Schatzalp funicular to the botanical garden above town, where Thomas Mann set his novel *The Magic Mountain*, for panoramic views without the crowds. Crucially, Davos has no train station at resort level — the railway drops you in the valley, leaving an awkward uphill transfer with luggage. A private car delivers you directly to your door, which after 155 kilometres of travel makes a material difference to how your trip begins.
