The annual World Economic Forum (WEF) returns to Davos-Klosters from 19–23 January 2026, gathering world leaders, CEOs and key decision-makers in the Swiss Alps.


If you’re attending, logistics matter just as much as the guest list. Snow, security zones and tight schedules can quickly turn simple transfers into a headache. A dedicated WEF Davos limousine service ensures you and your guests arrive smoothly, securely and on time—so you can focus on meetings, not transport.

Why Transport for WEF Davos Needs Special Planning


Davos sits at 1,560 metres above sea level and is Europe’s highest town. In January, the access roads can be snowy or icy, and the town itself is reshaped by the WEF’s extensive security setup. For attendees, this means:


  • Road closures and one-way systems around the Congress Centre and key hotels

  • Vehicle checks and security zones with restricted access

  • Unpredictable delays if your driver doesn’t know local shortcuts or pass conditions


Add tight schedules and high-profile meetings, and it quickly becomes clear: a standard airport transfer is not enough. You need a WEF Davos limousine service that combines local expertise, reliable winter-ready vehicles and security-aware planning.


EPIKDRIVES specialises in luxury driving itineraries across Switzerland and the Alps, personally designed and tested on the ground. That same experience is what you want behind the wheel when everything in Davos is operating at maximum pressure.

Why Choose EPIKDRIVES & Partners for WEF 2026


At EPIKDRIVES, we coordinate door-to-door chauffeured limousine services and VIP transfers for WEF delegates, corporate delegations and private guests. Our role is to integrate your meeting schedule, security requirements and travel plans into one seamless transport plan.


24/7 Chauffeured Limousine Service


Your agenda in Davos doesn’t run on standard office hours—and neither do we.


  • 24/7 availability for pick-ups, drops and standby

  • Dedicated chauffeur who stays with your delegation throughout the stay (if required)

  • Flexible routing to adapt to last-minute schedule changes or security updates


Our fleet includes all-wheel-drive limousines and SUVs on proper winter tyres, providing a comfortable and safe ride on snow-covered Alpine roads—from Zurich up to Davos and between hotels, chalets and venues in town.


Throughout the event, you effectively have a private WEF Davos limousine service on standby, rather than a simple point-to-point transfer.

Driver Accommodation & On-Call Availability


For multi-day stays during WEF, your driver doesn’t just “drop and disappear”.


  • We arrange local accommodation for your driver near Davos

  • Your vehicle remains close by and ready at short notice

  • No time wasted on repositioning vehicles from distant cities


This setup is ideal for:


  • Senior executives and board members

  • Government delegations

  • Investor groups with tightly packed schedules


Premium Fleet for Winter in Davos


All transfers are planned with winter in the Alps in mind:


  • All-wheel-drive sedans and limousines for discreet VIP movements

  • Luxury SUVs for added space, ground clearance and winter capability

  • Executive vans and minibuses for small groups and support staff


Every vehicle is:


  • Equipped with winter tyres

  • Operated by a professional, English-speaking driver

  • Licensed and insured according to Swiss regulations


If you have specific vehicle preferences—e.g. a particular German premium brand, long-wheelbase limousine or extra luggage capacity—we’ll tailor your WEF Davos limousine service accordingly.


VIP transfer vehicles at WEF Davos hotel security zone

Arrivals: From Airport or Helipad to Davos Hotel


Most guests arrive via:


  • Zurich Airport (ZRH)

  • Private jet at Zurich or Altenrhein Airports

  • From there, we coordinate:

  • Meet & greet at arrivals or the FBO

  • Luggage assistance and porter coordination

  • Direct transfer to your hotel, chalet or residence in Davos


Seamless Arrival with Optional Greeter Service


For high-profile guests or larger delegations, we recommend adding a greeter service:


  • A personal greeter meets you airside or at arrivals

  • Coordinates with your chauffeur and security detail

  • Assists with any VIP fast-track services offered at the airport


This creates a smooth, uninterrupted line from the aircraft door to your hotel check-in.


Security Zones, Badges & Door-to-Door Access


During WEF week, Davos is divided into multiple security zones around key hotels and the Congress Centre. Access to areas around hotels such as Seehof, Alpengold, Belvédère and the Congress Centre is restricted and controlled by the police.


Do You Need a Hotel or Security Badge?


Yes—if you expect true door-to-door service into the secured hotel zones:


  • WEF Annual Meeting badges and/or

  • Hotel or security badges for access to certain zones

  • Vehicle stickers for cars entering secure perimeters


These badges and stickers are issued via the WEF organisation and police, usually in coordination with your hotel or sponsoring organisation. Transport companies like EPIKDRIVES cannot obtain badges on your behalf.


Important: Please coordinate badge requirements with your WEF contact, sponsoring organisation or hotel well in advance. Once badges are confirmed, we’ll integrate that into your driving plan and advise on what is realistically possible for your WEF Davos limousine service.

How EPIKDRIVES Works Within Security Rules


Within the official security framework, we:


  • Plan approved drop-off and pick-up points

  • Identify walking distances from accessible zones to your venues

  • Build realistic time buffers for checks and traffic

  • Brief drivers on current security zone maps and procedures


The result: secure, punctual and stress-free movements, even when Davos is at full capacity.


Typical Use Cases for WEF Davos Limousine Service


Every group is different, but common scenarios include:


  • Executive & board delegations

    • Airport pick-up in Zurich

    • Direct transfer to Davos

    • Standby service for the full week


  • Government & diplomatic teams

    • Coordinated schedule with security & protocol

    • Multiple vehicles (principal + support)

    • Secure transfers to bilateral meetings and side events


  • Investor & client groups

    • Daily shuttle between hotels, restaurants and event spaces

    • Late-night transfers after receptions and dinners

    • Optional side trips before or after WEF (e.g. Swiss Alps drives)


Because EPIKDRIVES specialises in Alpine driving tours, we can also design bespoke pre- or post-WEF itineraries—for example, a short luxury road trip through the Engadin or across iconic passes before you fly home.

How the Booking Process Works


Booking your WEF Davos limousine service is straightforward, but we do need details to design it properly.


Step 1 – Share Your Schedule


Send us:

  • Arrival and departure details (flight numbers / rail info)

  • Number of guests and approximate luggage

  • Hotel or apartment address(es) in Davos

  • Your meeting schedule (even if provisional)


Step 2 – Define Service Level


We’ll help you choose:

  • Point-to-point transfers only, or

  • Full-time chauffeur on standby, or

  • Mixed setup (e.g. full-time for principals, transfers only for staff)


Step 3 – Receive a Tailored Proposal


You’ll receive a clear proposal including:

  • Vehicle types and capacities

  • Service dates and hours (including 24/7 availability if needed)

  • Driver accommodation and standby time

  • Transparent pricing for the full WEF period


Once confirmed, we lock in vehicles and drivers dedicated to your booking.


When to Book: Why Early is Essential


Davos has limited capacity—both in hotel rooms and in professional chauffeur services. During WEF:


  • Demand for winter-ready limousines and SUVs far exceeds supply

  • Short-notice requests may require compromises on timing or vehicle type

  • Good drivers who know Davos and the Swiss passes are booked months in advance


To secure your preferred WEF Davos limousine service:


  • Book as early as possible, ideally once your WEF attendance is confirmed

  • Provide at least a provisional schedule so we can hold suitable capacity

  • Update us with changes; we’ll adapt the plan as details solidify

FAQs about WEF 2026 Limousine & VIP Transfers


1. Why do I need a specialist WEF Davos limousine service instead of a regular taxi?


During WEF, Davos operates under strict security measures, with road closures, checkpoints and security zones around major hotels and the Congress Centre. A specialist WEF Davos limousine service provides:


  • Drivers familiar with security zones and local diversions

  • Winter-equipped vehicles suitable for Alpine conditions

  • Standby availability for last-minute schedule changes

This drastically reduces the risk of delays or missed meetings.


2. Do I need a hotel or security badge for door-to-door hotel access?


Yes. To drive directly into certain secured hotel zones (e.g. Alpengold, Seehof, Belvédère), a hotel badge and vehicle sticker may be required, issued by the police via the hotel or WEF channels.


EPIKDRIVES can work with whatever badges you obtain, but we cannot request or approve them on your behalf. You should coordinate badge requirements with your WEF organiser, sponsor or hotel.


3. How early should I book a limousine for WEF Davos?


Ideally, you should confirm your WEF Davos limousine service as soon as your participation and dates are fixed. Vehicle and chauffeur capacity in Davos is limited, and high-quality providers are typically fully booked months in advance. Early booking ensures:


  • Your preferred vehicles (limousines, SUVs, vans)

  • Drivers with Davos and winter experience

  • Accommodation and standby time reserved for your delegation


4. Can you support larger delegations with multiple vehicles?


Absolutely. For larger delegations, we can provide:


  • Multiple limousines and SUVs for principals

  • Executive vans or minibuses for staff and support teams

  • Central coordination of all drivers and vehicles


We’ll build a master transport plan that covers arrivals, departures, intra-Davos movements and any side meetings or events.
