Davos 2027: how to organize the trip and transfers for the World Economic Forum?

October 2, 20266 min read

In summary: Planning your trip to Davos for the World Economic Forum 2027 starts with coordinating flights, accommodation and daily transfers. BLACKLUX provides private transfers from Zurich Airport, hotel shuttles and vehicles for delegations, with a dedicated coordinator managing schedule changes. Booking early and allowing time between appointments helps you focus on meetings, networking and the purpose of your stay in Davos.

WEF 2027: dates and venue

The official calendar of Destination Davos Klosters indicates the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting from January 18 to 22, 2027, at the Davos Congress Centre, Talstrasse 49A, Davos Platz. The event sheet reports about 3,000 expected participants.

The World Economic Forum, in communications published in September 2026, also refers to the Davos Annual Meeting of January 2027.

These data constitute a starting point for organizing the stay. The detailed agenda, speakers and participation modalities should instead be verified through the World Economic Forum channels: information from previous editions does not automatically describe the 2027 one.

Why Davos is an international meeting place

The Annual Meeting brings together stakeholders from businesses, governments, civil society, universities and other entities. The World Economic Forum describes its meetings as dialogue and cooperation platforms dedicated to long‑term challenges and emerging issues.

For business travelers, this context requires planning that takes into account multiple venues and stakeholders. The personal agenda may include appointments different from the sessions at the Congress Centre: knowing the addresses, times and access conditions of each meeting helps organize the day.

From Zurich Airport to Davos: planning the entire stay

The airport transfer is only the first part of the journey. It is also useful to consider movements between hotels and appointment venues, colleagues’ needs and the return flight time.

Our advice is to prepare a shared itinerary with flights, addresses, number of passengers, luggage and required times. For a delegation, indicating who arrives together and who follows a different schedule allows better definition of vehicles and shifts.

In January, it is prudent to allow margins in movements and check weather and traffic conditions before departure. An overly tight agenda leaves little room for unforeseen events: travel duration should be assessed based on the route and actual conditions, without treating it as a guaranteed time.

Mobility for Davos with BLACKLUX

BLACKLUX organizes transfers between Zurich Airport and Davos, shuttles between hotels and the Congress Centre and vehicles dedicated to delegations. A coordinator follows the movements and manages agenda updates.

Planning starts from the dates, venues and number of guests. Based on this, vehicle classes, shifts and a fixed price for the agreed service are defined. Management includes driver assignment, contact sharing and coordinated invoicing.

It is advisable to contact us as soon as the program takes shape: as indicated on our events page, vehicles for the Forum week are booked months in advance.

Beyond the meetings: three curiosities about Davos

An Alpine city at 1,560 meters

Davos is located at about 1,560 meters above sea level. The official tourism portal presents it as the highest city in Europe and describes its combination of conference infrastructure, sport, culture and research. [5]

A detail to observe during the stay is the architecture: the characteristic flat roofs contribute to the city’s identity. Davos thus offers an urban landscape different from the typical Alpine village image made only of chalets.

The Schatzalp between literature and cinema

Davos’s history intertwines with Thomas Mann and the novel The Magic Mountain. The Schatzalp, with its historic Art Nouveau‑style hotel, is one of the places that tell this connection.

It also has a cinematic history: according to Destination Davos Klosters, scenes of Paolo Sorrentino’s Youth were filmed here. If the program leaves free time, it is a cue to discover the destination from a cultural perspective, checking accessibility and schedules first.

The flavors of Graubünden

A dinner can also be an occasion to get to know the region. The Graubünden tourism board lists capuns, maluns and nut cake among the classics of regional cuisine.

Capuns are rolls in chard leaves with a dough‑based filling, enriched according to the recipe with herbs and other ingredients. The Bündner Nusstorte, with shortcrust pastry and caramelised nuts, offers a sweet ending to the stay.

Preparing the trip: details to share

Before requesting the transport service, gather:

  • Arrival and departure dates and flight details.

  • Hotel addresses and appointment venue addresses.

  • Number of passengers and amount of luggage.

  • Daily agenda and any separate itineraries.

  • Contact of the person coordinating the delegation.

Also share the access instructions received from the organizers of each venue. The transport service must be planned according to applicable authorisations and does not include Forum accreditation.
