Name: Davos · World Economic Forum
Start: 18–22 January 2027

The world’s densest concentration of decision-makers — the 57th WEF Annual Meeting, 3,000+ leaders in an Alpine town with no airport of its own. Zurich (LSZH) is the gateway and the helicopter shuttle to Davos is the standard arrival; the week reliably sets European business-jet records.

Getting in · the part nobody tells you

No airport at Davos — the helicopter is the arrival

Davos sits high in the Graubünden Alps with no airport. The whole world routes through Zurich, then takes the helicopter shuttle up the valley — the defining logistics of the week.

LAND HERE Where you actually land

LSZHZurich — the gateway for all aircraft sizes; the helicopter shuttle to Davos departs here, or a ~2 hr car/train.
LSZRSt Gallen–Altenrhein — a smaller field ~1.5 hr by road from Davos, useful when Zurich slots saturate.
LSZSSamedan (Engadin) — the high-altitude Alpine field near St Moritz, a daylight-restricted alternative ~80 km away.

WATCH OUT Where WEF week bites

ZURICH SATURATESWEF week overwhelms Zurich’s business-jet slots and parking — it sets records every January. Build the slot and helicopter early.
HELI WEATHERAlpine weather can ground the Davos shuttle; have the car/train fallback (~2 hr) in the plan.
SAMEDAN LIMITSThe high-altitude Engadin field is daylight-only with performance penalties — not a heavy-jet option.

Plan it like this

The WEF arrival

Land Zurich, clear the business terminal, and lift straight onto the Davos helicopter — thirty minutes up the valley while the motorcades crawl below.

2 · Helicopter shuttle (book with the leg)
3 · Davos landing site, minutes from the Congress Centre

What it costs

Empty leg vs full charter, plus the transfer

The Zurich leg prices like any European charter at a premium week; the helicopter to Davos is the additional, and largely unavoidable, line item.

Route → gateway	Empty leg	Full charter	Per person ÷6
London → ZurichEGLF → LSZH	£6,000–10,500	£14,000–20,000	£1,000–1,900
Paris → ZurichLFPB → LSZH	€3,800–6,500	€9,000–13,000	€640–1,150

Sanity-check any "deal" against the benchmark: Light jet €2,000–3,500/hr · super-mid €5,000–7,000/hr · London–Zurich is roughly 1.5 hr.
Add the transfer: Add CHF 3,500–6,500 for the Davos helicopter, or the ~2 hr car/train fallback.

Questions · Davos · World Economic Forum specifics

Good to know before you book

How do I get to Davos?

There is no airport at Davos. You land at Zurich (LSZH) and take the ~30-minute helicopter shuttle up the valley, or a ~2-hour car or train. The helicopter is the standard WEF arrival.

Why is Zurich so constrained that week?

WEF concentrates thousands of leaders into a few days, and Zurich’s business-jet slots and parking set European records each January. Build the slot and the helicopter early.

What if the weather grounds the helicopter?

Have the car or train fallback (~2 hours) ready. Alpine weather can close the shuttle, so the road plan is part of every serious WEF itinerary.
