The journey from Zurich Airport (ZRH) to Davos, the highest town in Europe and home to the World Economic Forum (WEF), is a spectacular 154-kilometer drive through the Swiss Alps. Whether you are traveling for a global conference, a corporate retreat, or a world-class ski holiday, a private transfer is the most reliable and comfortable way to arrive.
RideNavigator allows you to compare prices and vehicles from Switzerland's top-rated chauffeur and transfer companies, ensuring a seamless, door-to-door experience from the arrivals hall directly to your hotel in Davos.
Compare Zurich to Davos Transport Options
While the Swiss rail network is famous for its efficiency, traveling to Davos by train requires at least one change (usually in Landquart) and taking the slower Rhaetian Railway. A private transfer offers significant advantages:
| Transport Option | Price (from) | Travel Time | Convenience |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private Transfer (RideNavigator) | CHF 293 | 1h 59m | Door-to-door, luggage handled |
| Standard Airport Taxi | CHF 550+ | 1h 59m | Metered, unpredictable |
| Train (SBB + RhB) | CHF 60 per person | 2h 45m | Requires 1-2 changes |
For groups of 3 or more, or travelers with heavy ski equipment, a private transfer is often the most practical and cost-effective choice.
