Drive time

Davos is two destinations depending on the week. For fifty-one weeks of the year it is an alpine town reached over a low pass from Klosters, and the transfer is unremarkable. In January it is the World Economic Forum, and every assumption about the road, the access and the timing changes at once.

During that week the valley operates under access restrictions and security control, drop-off points move, and the drive time stops being a function of distance. A transfer booked for that week is planned differently from one booked for February, and the desk will say so.

The road

The A3 and A13 to Landquart, up the Prättigau to Klosters, then over the Wolfgang pass into Davos. The Wolfgang is low by Graubünden standards and is kept open; the alternative approach via Chur and the Lenzerheide exists and is longer.

Winter on this route

Open all winter and heavily gritted, because the town runs on it. Snow adds time to the climb from Klosters rather than closing it. SUV class between December and March, winter tyres from October, ski box from November.

What the fare includes
  • Sixty minutes of waiting after the aircraft lands, free of charge.
  • A chauffeur inside arrivals with your name, and the luggage carried to the car.
  • Flight monitoring — the pickup moves with the inbound, and the fare does not.
  • Motorway tolls, the Swiss vignette and any foreign vignette the route needs.
  • 8.1% VAT and passenger insurance.

Questions we get on this route

Can you handle transfers during the World Economic Forum?

Yes, and it is booked well in advance because the access arrangements are. Expect a longer planned journey than the published drive time and a drop-off point confirmed nearer the day.

Is the Wolfgang pass ever closed?

Rarely, and rarely for long. It is a low pass on a road the town depends on, so it is a clearance priority.

Should we arrive the night before a morning meeting in Davos?

In February, usually yes. It converts a weather-dependent morning into a fixed one, which is the whole argument for the earlier car.
