Swiss Elite Transfers provides private, door-to-door transfers from Zurich Airport (ZRH) to any address in Zurich, Central and Eastern Switzerland, the Bernese Oberland and the Graubünden Alps. Your chauffeur tracks your flight, meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, helps with your luggage and drives you straight to your hotel, home, office or chalet — at a fixed price confirmed before you travel.
Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s largest airport, located in Kloten about 12 km north of Zurich city centre. It is the main gateway to Zurich and its business district, Central Switzerland around Lake Lucerne, eastern Switzerland and the Graubünden Alps — including Davos, Klosters, Laax and St. Moritz.
Instead of queuing for a taxi, changing trains with heavy luggage or waiting for a shared shuttle, you travel in a private Mercedes or Tesla with a professional driver who knows Swiss roads in every season. Whether you are flying in for meetings, a family holiday, a conference or a ski week in the Alps, your Zurich Airport transfer is planned around you — not around a timetable.

Zurich Airport has an excellent train station, but for families, groups, business travellers and anyone heading to the mountains with luggage or ski equipment, a private transfer is usually the simplest and most comfortable choice.
Private transfers are priced per vehicle, not per person. Typical one-way fares from Zurich Airport in a Tesla Model Y (up to 3 passengers): Zurich city centre from CHF 135, Lucerne from CHF 295, Davos from CHF 515, St. Moritz from CHF 650 and Zermatt (Täsch) from CHF 775. A Mercedes V-Class for up to 7 passengers costs about 20 to 25% more, and a return trip is twice the one-way fare. You receive a fixed, all-inclusive price before you book.
Your chauffeur waits in the public arrivals area after baggage reclaim and customs — in Arrival 1 or Arrival 2, depending on your flight — holding a sign with your name.
We monitor your flight in real time and adjust the pickup to your actual landing time, so you do not need to contact us about a delay.
Zurich Airport is about 12 km from the city centre. A private transfer usually takes 15–25 minutes, depending on traffic and your exact address.
The drive from Zurich Airport to Davos takes about 2 hours in normal conditions. During the World Economic Forum in January and on busy ski weekends, allow extra time and book early. See our Zurich Airport to Davos transfer page.
Yes. We provide private ski transfers from Zurich Airport to Davos, Klosters, St. Moritz, Laax, Flims, Lenzerheide, Arosa, Engelberg, Andermatt, Grindelwald and Zermatt (via Täsch), with space for ski and snowboard equipment. See our ski transfers page for details.
Yes. Our Zurich Airport transfers run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including early-morning departures and late-night arrivals.
Yes. Child seats and booster seats are available on request. Please tell us the age of each child when you book so the right seats are fitted.
The Tesla Model Y and Mercedes S-Class carry up to 3 passengers. The Mercedes V-Class carries up to 7 passengers and 8 bags, making it ideal for families, groups and ski equipment. For larger groups, we can arrange more than one vehicle.
The train is a good option for solo travellers with light luggage. A private transfer is usually better for families, groups, business travellers and ski trips, because you are met in arrivals, your luggage is handled for you and you travel directly to your door with no changes.
