Davos
Davos, in the Graubünden mountains, is known for the Parsenn ski area, its high-altitude clinics and the international conferences it hosts. Business travellers and skiers arriving at Geneva face several train changes to reach it. A private car offers a quiet, continuous journey across Switzerland, with space to work, rest or make calls on the way.
Chauffeur's tipDuring major conferences in Davos, road controls and traffic can slow access; book well ahead and give your chauffeur your accreditation details if relevant.
The route from Geneva Airport to Davos
Your chauffeur takes the A1 across the Swiss Plateau via Lausanne and Bern towards Zurich, then the A3 along the Walensee, between the lake and the Churfirsten peaks. Near Landquart, you leave the motorway and head into the Prättigau valley, following it upstream through Klosters before reaching Davos. The road is well maintained in winter and does not require crossing a high pass, which makes it a reliable route even in the middle of winter.
Arriving in Davos
Davos is a town in its own right, stretching along the valley from Davos Dorf to Davos Platz. Your chauffeur drops you at your hotel, apartment or conference venue. The Parsenn area, shared with Klosters, starts from Davos Dorf, while the Jakobshorn is reached from Davos Platz. In summer, the lake and the surrounding valleys are popular for hiking and cycling.
Practical advice for your transfer
- With nearly five hours on the road, the First Class Mercedes S-Class offers a calm space to work or rest.
- Groups and delegations can book a Mercedes V-Class van or a Mercedes Sprinter minibus.
- Declare skis and the number of bags at booking.
AirportsTransfers.ch shows the fixed price per vehicle before you book, so long-distance transfers like this one can be budgeted with no surprises, and your return trip can be reserved at the same time.

The route to Davos10
How far is Davos from Geneva Airport?
Davos is about 410 km from Geneva Airport by road. The transfer crosses almost all of Switzerland, from Lake Geneva to the Prättigau valley and up into the mountains of Graubünden.
How long does it take to drive from Geneva Airport to Davos?
Allow around four hours forty-five minutes in normal conditions. Snowfall, Saturday ski traffic or conference weeks can add time, so the chauffeur plans the departure to reach Davos as smoothly as possible.
Which route does the chauffeur take to Davos?
The route follows the A1 via Lausanne, Bern and Zurich, then the A3 along the Walensee to Landquart. From there the road climbs the Prättigau valley through Klosters and over the Wolfgang pass into Davos.
Is there a border crossing between Geneva and Davos?
No, the drive to Davos stays entirely in Switzerland, so there are no customs formalities on the way. You simply leave Geneva Airport through the Swiss sector and set off.
Is the road to Davos open in winter?
Yes. The road through the Prättigau and over the Wolfgang pass is kept open all winter and does not require a high alpine pass. Vehicles are prepared for snow, with winter tyres and chains carried when conditions need them.
How long is the drive to Davos on a winter Saturday?
On winter Saturdays, when many chalets and hotels change guests, traffic around Zurich and in the Prättigau can add a good hour or more. Landing earlier in the day helps you reach Davos before the evening peak.
When is traffic busiest on the way to Davos?
Weekday rush hours around Bern and Zurich, winter Saturdays and the start and end of school holidays are the busiest times. During major conferences in Davos, road controls can also slow access to the town.
Can we stop on the way from Geneva to Davos?
Yes. On a drive of nearly five hours, one or two comfort breaks are normal. The Walensee shore and the motorway service areas near Zurich are convenient places to stop before the climb to Davos.
Can I travel to Davos after a late-evening flight?
Yes, transfers run 24/7. Late at night the motorways are quiet and the drive to Davos is often quicker, though snowfall on the final mountain stretch can slow things down in winter.
Is there another way to reach Davos by road?
The Prättigau route via Landquart and Klosters is the standard way. Davos can also be reached from the Albula valley via Filisur or from the Engadine over the Flüela pass, which is sometimes closed in winter.
Booking and payment9
How do I book a private transfer from Geneva Airport to Davos?
Book online with AirportsTransfers.ch: enter Geneva Airport as pick-up and your exact address in Davos, choose the date, time and vehicle, then pay to confirm. Because the drive is around 4 h 45, adding your flight number helps us plan the departure precisely.
Is the price of a Geneva Airport to Davos transfer fixed?
Yes. The price is fixed per vehicle, not per passenger, and it is shown before you pay. For a journey of about 410 km to Davos, that means the cost does not change with traffic, the route chosen on the day or the number of people in the car.
What is included in the price of a transfer from Geneva Airport to Davos?
The fixed price to Davos includes the chauffeur, fuel, motorway charges, and help with your luggage. Waiting time is included if your flight is late, so a delayed landing in Geneva costs nothing extra on this 410 km trip.
How can I pay for my transfer to Davos?
You pay online when booking the Davos transfer, by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The amount is the fixed per-vehicle price shown on screen, so there is nothing to settle with the chauffeur at the end of the around 4 h 45 drive.
How far in advance should I book a transfer from Geneva to Davos?
Booking a few days ahead is wise, and well in advance for conference weeks and the winter high season, when larger vehicles are in demand. Last-minute requests to Davos are often possible too; if the online slot is too close, contact us 24/7 and we will check availability.
Can I book the return trip from Davos to Geneva Airport at the same time?
Yes, you can add the return from Davos to Geneva Airport in the same booking. Give your departure flight and pick-up address, and the chauffeur collects you with enough margin for the around 4 h 45 drive back and check-in.
Can my company get an invoice for a transfer to Davos?
Yes. Enter your company name, address and VAT number when booking and an invoice is issued for the transfer to Davos. This is useful for corporate ski events and staff travel who need the fixed price documented for expenses.
What happens if I need to cancel my transfer to Davos?
Plans change, especially on a long trip like Geneva to Davos. Please see our cancellation conditions at booking: they are shown clearly before you pay, and you can contact us 24/7 if your flight or dates move.
Is there a minibus for a group travelling from Geneva to Davos?
Yes. For a ski club or a conference delegation travelling to Davos, the Mercedes Sprinter minibus is quoted on request via the contact form. Give the number of passengers and bags, including skis, and we reply with a fixed price for the 410 km journey.
Arriving at Geneva Airport6
Where does the chauffeur meet me at Geneva Airport for my transfer to Davos?
Your AirportsTransfers.ch chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall after baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. From there it is a short walk to the car, and you set off to Davos without queueing for a taxi or train.
Should I exit in the Swiss or French sector of Geneva Airport for Davos?
Most passengers arrive in the Swiss sector, and Davos is in Switzerland, so no border is crossed on the way. If your flight lands in the French sector, mention it at booking and the chauffeur meets you there instead, so the transfer to Davos starts without delay.
Is my flight tracked for the transfer to Davos?
Yes. We follow your flight in real time using the flight number you give at booking, so the chauffeur adjusts to an early or late landing in Geneva. You do not need to call to update the pick-up time before the drive to Davos.
What if my flight to Geneva is delayed before my transfer to Davos?
Waiting time is included if your flight is late, so a delay does not change the fixed price. The chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall, and the around 4 h 45 drive to Davos simply starts later.
How do I contact my chauffeur when I land in Geneva for Davos?
The chauffeur's details are sent before your trip, and you can reach the team 24/7 by phone or WhatsApp on +41 78 346 56 77. Message us if you are held up at customs or baggage reclaim and the chauffeur will wait for your transfer to Davos.
What time should I be picked up in Davos for a flight from Geneva?
For a flight from Geneva, plan a pick-up from Davos roughly seven and a half hours before departure. That covers the around 4 h 45 drive, check-in and security, plus a margin for traffic and winter weather on busy Saturdays.
Luggage, skis and children6
Can I take my skis and snowboard in the car to Davos?
Yes. Declare skis, snowboards and boot bags at booking so the right vehicle is sent to Davos. For several pairs of skis, the Mercedes V-Class van or the Sprinter minibus is usually the comfortable choice for this 410 km trip.
Which vehicle should I choose for my group going to Davos?
AirportsTransfers.ch offers a Business Sedan E-Class for up to 3 passengers and 3 bags, a First Class S-Class for extra comfort, a V-Class van for up to 7 passengers and 10 bags, and a Sprinter minibus for larger groups on request. On a 410 km trip to Davos, extra space is worth considering.
Are child seats available for a transfer to Davos?
Yes, child seats and boosters are provided on request. Give the age or weight of each child when booking the transfer to Davos, so the seats are fitted before you get in for the around 4 h 45 journey.
Can I travel to Davos with my dog or cat?
Pets can often travel, but please ask at booking so we can confirm the vehicle and arrangements for the drive to Davos. Mention the size of the animal and whether it travels in a carrier, and plan a short break on the around 4 h 45 journey.
Is the transfer to Davos suitable for passengers with reduced mobility?
Yes, please ask at booking and describe what is needed, for example a folding wheelchair or help getting in and out. The chauffeur assists at Geneva Airport and on arrival in Davos, and the van offers easier access for longer trips.
Can I bring oversized luggage on the transfer to Davos?
Yes, as long as it is declared at booking. Items such as ski bags, boot bags or sledges need the right vehicle, usually the V-Class van or the Sprinter minibus, so everything fits safely for the journey to Davos.
