The option
A helicopter transfer to Davos, when it works
Flying reduces the journey from Zurich to around 40 minutes.
A helicopter transfer to Davos is the fastest way to reach the Forum, and for some guests the most comfortable. It removes the drive, the checkpoints on the approach and most of the uncertainty of the road.
It is also the option most affected by conditions. Weather in the Alps in January is fickle, and permissions in the days around the Forum are tight. We tell clients plainly: a helicopter is a strong first choice and never the only plan.
How we coordinate it
- We request availability and confirm the aircraft, the landing point and the timing.
- A chauffeur meets the guest on landing, with the car registered for the zone where it will operate.
- A road alternative is held in reserve and kept on standby until the aircraft is down.
- The dispatch desk monitors the weather and tells you early if the plan changes.
Freezing weather, poor visibility and congested roads all affect Davos. A sound plan has a back-up vehicle, a back-up route and an alternative mode of transport. The helicopter is one of those layers.
