Our chauffeur services for the WEF

Zurich Airport to Davos transfers

Your chauffeur tracks your flight, waits in the arrival hall with a name sign and drives you door to door to your hotel in Davos Platz, Davos Dorf or Klosters. By train the trip usually involves two changes, at Zurich HB and at Landquart onto the Rhaetian Railway; by car there is no change and no luggage to carry. Year-round details of the route are on our Zurich Airport to Davos transfer page.

Chauffeur at disposal for the meeting week

Programs in Davos change by the hour: sessions overrun, bilateral meetings move, side events start late. A car with chauffeur at your disposal for a day or the whole week waits on standby outside the security zones and is called forward via WhatsApp when you need it. Our chauffeurs are multilingual and our dispatch is reachable 24/7. For principals we recommend the Mercedes-Maybach S 560 or the Mercedes S-Class (W223).

Delegation fleets

According to the FDFA's VIP service request form for WEF 2020, the Forum provided one limousine per public figure for the transfer from Zurich to Davos and back. Whether this arrangement still applies in 2027 is not confirmed. Advisers, protocol staff, security teams, press officers and luggage therefore usually need additional vehicles, and participants not covered by this arrangement organize their ground transport themselves. We put together mixed fleets from a single source:

Private jets, alternative airports and helicopters

For private and state flights we pick you up ramp-side at the FBO, subject to authorization; see our private jet chauffeur service at Zurich and Geneva FBOs. In its WEF 2026 regulations for state flights with diplomatic clearance, the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) stated that aircraft parking at Zurich was not guaranteed and recommended alternate aerodromes such as St. Gallen-Altenrhein, Friedrichshafen, Basel-Mulhouse, Bern, Stuttgart and Milan-Malpensa. Our chauffeurs meet you there as well. For WEF 2026, helicopter flights in the restricted airspace around Davos required accredited pilots and aircraft and an authorization for every flight, and direct flights from abroad to the Davos heliport were not allowed. We coordinate helicopter transfers with partners and can keep a car on standby in case a flight cannot take place.

Booking timeline for WEF 2027

1. As soon as your participation is confirmed: send us the number of travelers, arrival airports, flight or FBO details and your hotels in Davos, Klosters or elsewhere. The earlier we know your plans, the easier it is to reserve the right mix of vehicles.
2. Before the security set-up starts on 4 January 2027: confirm vehicle numbers and passenger lists, and request the vehicle and chauffeur details you need for any access authorizations.
3. State flights: under the FOCA regulations for WEF 2026, applications for diplomatic clearance had to be submitted no later than 5 working days before the flight. Share the confirmed slot and handling agent with us so we can plan the ramp-side pickup.
4. In the last week before the meeting: send us the day-by-day program and your on-site contacts; we assign chauffeurs and standby times.
5. During the meeting: changes go to our dispatch via WhatsApp, 24/7.
