Zurich Airport to Davos Transfer

Zurich Airport to Davos transfer: the easiest way to get there

When you land at Zurich Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Davos. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Zurich Airport to Davos transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Zurich Airport to Davos route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Davos is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Zurich Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

How far is Davos from Zurich Airport?

The distance from Zurich Airport to Davos is about 180 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 3 hours 5 minutes. Allow a little extra at peak hours; outside them the drive is relaxed and direct. Because the Zurich Airport to Davos transfer price is fixed in advance, a slow drive never costs you more, which is the first difference from an airport taxi on the meter.

The fastest road route runs via the A3, and your driver adjusts it on the day for traffic and roadworks.

The route follows the A3 along Lake Zurich and the Walensee to Landquart, then the valley road up the Prättigau past Klosters to Davos.

Travellers often compare the drive with a bus or train connection; with luggage and a family, door-to-door by private car is almost always faster in total than any combination of public transport.

Arriving at Zurich Airport (ZRH)

Zurich Airport (ZRH) is about 10 km north of the centre with one terminal and a railway station beneath it; Interlaken is about 120 km and Lucerne about 60 km away by road.

Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Zurich Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Zurich Airport to Davos transfer.

Searches for "ZRH to Davos" or "ZRH airport transfer" land here for a reason: ZRH is the airport code for Zurich Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Davos.

Taxi or private transfer from Zurich Airport to Davos?

Travellers searching for "Zurich Airport to Davos taxi cost" usually find a range rather than a number, because taxi fares depend on the meter, the hour and the route. Our private transfer gives you a single fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, so the cost of getting from Zurich Airport to Davos is known before you land.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Zurich Airport to Davos per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Davos involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Davos, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport to Davos: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Zurich Airport runs mainly into Zurich itself: trains reach the Hauptbahnhof from the airport in about 10 minutes, ideal for a city hotel; Interlaken, Lucerne with luggage, or the ski resorts are where a private car or Sprinter earns its place. Reaching Davos from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

If you are weighing the Zurich Airport to Davos options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.

About Davos

Davos is a high Alpine town and ski resort in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, about 150 km south-east of Zurich Airport. Davos lies at about 1,560 m in a long, open valley and is often called one of the highest towns in Europe. Once famous as a health resort for its clear mountain air, it is now best known for hosting the World Economic Forum and for its large ski areas, Parsenn, Jakobshorn, Pischa and Rinerhorn, linked with Klosters. The town has two centres, Davos Platz and Davos Dorf, a lake for summer walks and sailing, the Kirchner Museum and a famous ice hockey tradition. The drive follows Lake Zurich and the Walensee before climbing through the Prättigau valley.

Things to do in Davos

What to see in Davos: Parsenn and Jakobshorn ski areas, World Economic Forum venue, Lake Davos, Kirchner Museum and Ice hockey and the Spengler Cup. Ask the driver which to do first on the drive from Zurich Airport - they know the area, and the desk arranges transport for any of them later in your stay.

Zurich itself is within reach for a day: Lindt Home of Chocolate, Mount Titlis or Rigi as a day trip and the old town and Grossmünster - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Davos

Hotels and places to stay in Davos: Davos Platz, Davos Dorf, Near the Congress Centre and Klosters, nearby. Tell us yours when you book and the driver plans the last few streets before you land.

During the World Economic Forum, security zones restrict traffic in the town centre; at other times, say whether your hotel is in Davos Platz or Davos Dorf.

Meeting your driver at Zurich Airport

Where you meet your driver depends on Zurich Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If you choose flight tracking, your driver is at arrivals the minute you land.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Zurich Airport.

Our vehicles for the Davos transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.

Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Davos and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.

Who books the Davos transfer

The Zurich Airport to Davos transfer suits anyone who values a plan: honeymooners heading for a hotel with more luggage than they admit, parents travelling with small children, friends sharing a Sprinter, colleagues on a work trip who need an invoice, and grandparents who would rather be met than find their own way. Because the price is per vehicle, the more of you there are the better it compares with taxis and tickets.

If your trip continues beyond Davos - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Zurich Airport - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.

How to book your Davos transfer

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Davos. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Zurich Airport

If your real destination is Interlaken, Lucerne, Engelberg or a ski resort, book the transfer to that town directly from the airport - the desk prices it as one journey.

Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Zurich Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Zurich Airport.

Davos to Zurich Airport: the return transfer

The same service runs the other way. For a Davos to Zurich Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Zurich Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

Many guests book both directions together for a single confirmation with two times on it; if the return flight changes during the stay, one message moves the pickup to the new time.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Davos transfers

We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Zurich Airport to Davos route follows the same simple promise as every other: one fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed in writing; a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals; a vehicle matched to your group and your luggage; and a desk that answers. It is the way we would want to arrive ourselves.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
