How can we help?

Pick the one that matches your assignment. Each leads to a complete page.
Airport, jet and helicopter transfers
Zurich in about two hours by road, around 40 minutes by helicopter, met at the aircraft door.
A chauffeur for the whole Forum
Daily and full-week hire: a vehicle and a driver at your disposal, registered for the zones.
Delegations and travel managers
Convoys, one coordinator, centralised invoicing and follow-up, and vetted chauffeurs.
The assignment
Davos is not a normal chauffeur job
For one week in January, a mountain town becomes one of the most heavily secured places in the world.
Roads close without warning. Delegations move in police convoys. A journey of 500 metres can take forty minutes, and the only road in from the valley can shut because of one fallen tree.
Clients cope best when the people driving them have done this before. We have supplied luxury transportation in Davos during the World Economic Forum for eight years, for government delegations, ministers and C-level executives. Our chauffeur service in Davos is built around that experience: drivers who know the town, vehicles that are registered and equipped for winter, and a dispatch team that stays on site until the last guest has left.
The fleet
Three cars, each chosen for the mountain
Every vehicle is cleaned before service, stocked for the cold and fitted with winter tyres.
Business sedan
Mercedes E-Class
The everyday business sedan for short transfers and brief standby services.
Executive limousine
Mercedes S-Class
The benchmark limousine for principals, long transfers and full-day programmes.
Luxury minivan
Mercedes V-Class
Room for delegations, families and luggage, with a club seating layout.
For travel managers
Built for travel managers and delegations
You answer for the whole programme. We make that easier: one coordinator before and during the Forum, centralised invoicing and follow-up, and chauffeurs that we have vetted ourselves.
- One point of contact from first enquiry to last drop-off.
- Vehicle and driver registration handled for you.
- Convoys for groups of 30 to 50 passengers.
- A dispatch team on site that reroutes in minutes.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long have you worked at the Forum?
Eight years. Our chauffeurs and coordinators have worked the Davos Forum for eight years, for government delegations, ministers and C-level executives.
How early should I book a chauffeur for the WEF in Davos?
Enquire in July or August of the year before the Forum. Hundreds of vehicles are deployed for the week, and the chauffeurs with real Davos experience are taken first. Late requests are possible, but the choice of drivers and vehicles narrows quickly from October.
Can you invoice a whole delegation on one bill?
Yes. We centralise invoicing and follow-up: one coordinator, one invoice for the whole programme, and a clear follow-up of every movement.
Does Ernest & Sons register vehicles and drivers for the WEF?
Yes. We handle vehicle and driver registration for you and advise which badge suits each client. Procedures and deadlines are set by the authorities and change from year to year, so we work from the current official instructions.
How long does the transfer from Zurich airport to Davos take?
About two hours in normal conditions and roughly 2.5 hours or more during the Forum, when weather, traffic and checkpoints add time. By helicopter the flight takes around 40 minutes, subject to weather and permissions.
How quickly do you reply to an enquiry?
Within hours. Replying fast is a point of honour for us: every enquiry sent by WhatsApp, email or telephone is answered by a coordinator who knows Davos, with availability and a clear proposal.
