The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting creates a ground transport environment unlike any conventional international conference.
Senior executives, heads of state, international organisations, investors, corporate teams, and private principals converge on Davos for a week-long programme spanning bilateral meetings, official congress sessions, hotel hubs, private promenade activations, and evening hospitality throughout the Landwasser Valley. Many attendees begin their journey well outside Davos itself, making arrival planning a critical part of the wider ground operation.
We manage transportation for organisations and delegations attending the World Economic Forum, connecting international arrivals with Davos and supporting executive, delegate, and corporate movements throughout the week.
Davos does not have a commercial airport on its doorstep, making long-distance ground transit central to the operation.
For most international attendees, the journey begins at Zurich Airport (ZRH), continuing two hours overland via the A3 and A28 mountain highways into the Swiss Alps. Private aviation arrivals through Samedan St. Moritz Airport (SMV) or Zurich’s General Aviation Terminal (GAT) introduce distinct collection points, winter mountain routing, and fluid itineraries.
We plan arrivals around live flight manifests, luggage volume, hotel locations, and onward commitments across Davos Platz, Davos Dorf, and Klosters. We manage individual executive arrivals or group movements into managed arrival waves, ensuring return transfers to airports and private jet terminals operate just as reliably after the final sessions conclude.
The official Congress Centre schedule represents only part of what takes place during WEF week.
Senior attendees move continuously between official forum sessions, bilateral meetings, corporate hospitality venues along the Promenade, media studios, private lunches, and evening dinners. A fixed shuttle schedule cannot accommodate these fluid movements.
We assign dedicated chauffeur-driven vehicles—including all-wheel-drive (AWD/4MATIC) Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Maybach, and luxury SUV fleets—to remain available throughout the day. This provides C-suite executives, keynote speakers, investors, private principals, and VIP guests with maximum flexibility as meeting locations and schedules adjust in real time.
A corporate or diplomatic delegation rarely travels as a single unit for the entire week.
Senior leadership requires individual executive vehicles, while supporting directors and technical personnel follow separate meeting schedules. Media crews and corporate teams need scheduled group transport, and security details or executive assistants must travel alongside specific principals.
We structure transportation around these distinct operational roles rather than treating the delegation as a single passenger manifest—combining executive sedans, 4×4 Mercedes V-Class MPVs, and all-wheel-drive Sprinters tailored to passenger counts, equipment, and working hours across the forum.
Accommodation during the World Economic Forum is distributed across the region rather than concentrated at a single site.
Delegates and corporate teams are frequently based across both Davos and Klosters, while meetings and private events occur away from an attendee’s hotel—generating repeated movements across mountain access roads throughout the day.
Understanding where each passenger is staying, where their meetings occur, and whether their itinerary requires a dedicated chauffeur or scheduled transfers helps us determine the correct fleet structure. For larger organisations, we build hotel allocations directly into the master transport plan so executives, staff, and guests operate independently without operational friction.
The profile of the World Economic Forum requires specialized security protocols for high-profile principals.
Government representatives, C-suite executives, family offices, and private principals frequently travel with close-protection details or require ground transport that integrates into existing security arrangements. We coordinate vehicle movements, security badges (Grebels), and access routes alongside client-appointed security details and trusted close-protection partners, ensuring complete alignment between transport execution and security requirements.
Operating ground transport in Davos during the World Economic Forum demands specialized expertise in winter driving conditions, high-altitude transit, municipal traffic curfews, and strict perimeter access controls.
Our approach combines pre-event route planning with continuous on-the-ground management across the Landwasser Valley. We manage the transit journey into the region, regional hotel allocations, executive meeting changes, private aviation slot adjustments, and security zone access.
For global organisations operating across multiple international events throughout the year, our network allows you to maintain a single ground transportation partnership while ensuring local Swiss access rules and alpine conditions are precisely managed.
Davos itineraries evolve rapidly. A bilateral meeting runs over, a venue changes, an executive accepts a last-minute panel invitation, or a private dinner finishes late.
For passengers with dense schedules, these adjustments impact several planned transfers rather than an isolated journey. We build transportation around the passenger’s complete itinerary rather than standalone transfers—allocating dedicated vehicles, driver shifts, and backup routing to absorb schedule shifts seamlessly.
Local vehicle availability during the World Economic Forum is exceptionally restricted, making early fleet allocation critical.
To navigate severe winter mountain conditions safely, all vehicles assigned to WEF operations feature luxury winter packages and all-wheel-drive systems (AWD / 4MATIC):
The ideal fleet mix depends on passenger volume, luggage requirements, mountain transit routes, security clearance, and whether a vehicle must remain on standby throughout the day.
For major corporate delegations and family offices, effective transport planning begins as soon as hotel allocations and core passenger manifests take shape.
We use live arrival data, FBO tail numbers, hotel allocations, executive schedules, delegation structures, security requirements, and planned side-events to construct the master transport operation, updating movements as final WEF schedules are confirmed.
Because specialized all-wheel-drive executive vehicles and accredited chauffeurs are in extreme demand during Annual Meeting week, planning should begin as early as possible.

We support sporting events, motorsport, international conferences, technology exhibitions, corporate functions, fashion programmes, film and entertainment events, hospitality activations, and other major gatherings — focusing on multi-vehicle fleet operations and complex event logistics.
A programme can combine VIP vehicles, guest and delegate transfers, group transportation, crew and staff logistics, airport movements, coaches, and on-the-ground dispatch — all scheduled centrally so changes to one part of the programme don't disrupt the rest.
Yes. VIP chauffeur services can be arranged for executives, talent, athletes, speakers, family offices, private principals, sponsors, and high-profile guests worldwide. Where additional security is required, we coordinate with trusted close-protection travel partners.
We coordinate arrivals through commercial airports, private aviation terminals, and FBO facilities, then manage onward movement to hotels, event venues, hospitality locations, and private residences as part of the wider event schedule.
Vehicle requirements typically range from executive vans and minibuses to full coaches, depending on passenger numbers, schedules, and the sites being served (accommodation, production locations, venues, and airports).
Yes. We provide transportation for programmes spanning multiple destinations, helping agencies, sporting organisations, brands, and corporate teams keep centralised planning while operating across different cities, countries, and regions.
Lead times depend on the event, destination, fleet requirements, and time of year. For major programmes such as Formula 1 weekends, international summits, large exhibitions, and major sporting events, plan several months ahead — earlier still if significant fleet volumes, specialist vehicles, accreditation, or restricted venue access are involved.
Davos presents a distinct transport environment: international arrivals begin miles away from the resort, accommodation is distributed across the region, and senior attendees follow rapidly changing schedules throughout the week.
We plan around those realities, supporting executives, delegations, and corporate teams from their arrival in Switzerland through to final departures after the World Economic Forum.
