The Davos Meeting attracts global leaders, executives, diplomats, and media from around the world. During this period, transportation to Davos becomes one of the biggest challenges due to security restrictions, winter weather, and extremely high demand. Below is a comprehensive FAQ guide to help travelers plan a safe, reliable, and comfortable Zurich to Davos transfer with LimousineHire.

1. What is the Davos Meeting and why is transportation planning important?


The Davos Meeting, officially known as the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, is a global event held every January in Davos, Switzerland. It brings together heads of state, CEOs, investors, academics, and international organizations.

Transportation planning is critical because:

  • Davos enforces strict security and access controls

  • Roads may be partially closed or regulated

  • Public transport is overcrowded

  • Taxi availability is extremely limited

A pre-booked private Zurich to Davos transfer ensures timely arrival without stress or delays.


2. What is the distance between Zurich and Davos?


The distance between Zurich and Davos is approximately 150 kilometers (93 miles). Although the distance is moderate, travel time can increase during the Davos Meeting due to:

  • Security checkpoints

  • Winter road conditions

  • Traffic congestion near Davos

This makes a professional chauffeur service essential for efficient travel.


3. How long does a Zurich to Davos transfer take during the Davos Meeting?


Under normal conditions, the journey takes 2.5 to 3 hours. During the Davos Meeting, travel time may extend to 3–3.5 hours, depending on:

  • Weather conditions (snow or ice)

  • Time of arrival

  • Security checks and access permits

LimousineHire chauffeurs monitor traffic and security updates in real time to choose the best possible routes.


4. Why is a private transfer better than a train or taxi during the Davos Meeting?


While Switzerland has an excellent rail network, trains during the Davos Meeting:

  • Are overcrowded

  • Involve walking with luggage in winter conditions

Taxis, on the other hand:

  • Are difficult to find
