If we talk about long-distance travel in Switzerland, the reality hits much harder. You may face some hard challenges like train changes, luggage handling, or driving on unfamiliar Swiss roads. During winter seasons, the conditions can get worse, with snowy roads all around, rail closures, and more. This is where Grandlane Transfer enters to offer you the most comfortable travelling experience.
We offer private chauffeur transfers for business travellers, families on vacation, solo leisure travellers, or VIP’s travlling to events like WEF Davos. You get all the luxurious amenities, including the climate control system, leather seating, private entertainment system, and a chauffeur who will take care of your every need.
Most of the transportation options focus on only transporting you from one place to another. But this is not what Grandlane Transfer offers; we take care of you as our own family. We focus on the comfort, convenience, and safety of our clients. You don't have to manage station travels, or wait in the taxi queues, or carry your heavy luggage yourself.
Grandlane offers door-to-door travel wich means, the chauffeur will pick you up from your pickup location and will drop you directly off at your destination.
• Hotel pickup: A chauffeur will be waiting for you in the hotel reception area for a warm meet and greet.
• Airport pickup: You can find Grandlane Chauffeur in the airport arrival halls; they will be there holding a name board with your name written on it.
• Resort transfers: Want to go from the airport to a resort like St. Moritz. Just book our services and travel directly from Zurich airport to the St. Moritz resort in just 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Wondering what fleet options you will get? Our fleet includes VW Passat/Golf or Similar, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 or Similar, Mercedes V Class, Mercedes EQE, Tesla Model X, Model S, Model Y or Similar, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for 15 people.
Our premium fleet offers spacious seating, a perfect climate control system, extra luggage space, and a quiet cabin where you can work or rest according to your needs.
Every driver at Grandlane Transfer is a trained professional, not just someone following a sat-nav. That means proper route planning before the journey starts, genuine local knowledge of the best roads depending on the time of day and season, and assistance with your luggage as standard. You don't have to drag bags through stations or figure out where the taxi rank is. You're met, helped, and on your way.
One of the biggest frustrations with taxis or rideshare apps is not knowing what you'll pay until you arrive. With Grandlane, the price you're quoted is the price you pay. No hidden fees, no surge pricing on busy days or late-night pickups, just transparent rates you can plan around.
Most Grandlane bookings follow a handful of well-travelled routes — usually from Zurich, either from the airport or the city, heading out to ski resorts, lakes, or other major cities. Here's a rough guide to travel times:
| Route | Approximate Travel Time | Typical Transfer Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Zurich to St. Moritz | 2h 45m | Scenic alpine journey through the Swiss mountains |
| Zurich to Davos | 2h | Comfortable transfer to one of Switzerland's leading mountain resorts |
| Zurich to Interlaken | 1h 45m | Relaxing ride through lakes and mountain landscapes |
| Zurich to Grindelwald | 2h | Direct access to the heart of the Jungfrau region |
| Zurich to Lucerne | 50m | Quick and convenient transfer to a lakeside destination |
| Zurich to Bern | 1h 15m | Smooth journey to Switzerland's historic capital city |
These routes are popular for good reason. St. Moritz and Davos draw ski and wellness travellers year-round. Interlaken and Grindelwald are bucket-list destinations for hikers and families. Lucerne and Bern are cultural city breaks. What they all have in common is that a private transfer removes the complexity of navigating connections, platform changes, and resort shuttles after a long flight.
When you're on a tight schedule, reliability matters more than anything. Business travellers use private transfers to work during the journey, maintain privacy on calls, and arrive at meetings without the unpredictability of public transport delays.
Travelling with children and luggage on Swiss trains is doable, but it's rarely relaxing. Private transfers offer child seats on request, full luggage handling, and a genuinely stress-free journey where no one has to rush for a platform or manage toddlers up an escalator.
For visitors who don't know the country, a private transfer removes all the guesswork. You get scenic journeys through landscapes that would otherwise be missed underground, direct hotel transfers, and absolutely no need to understand local transport systems on your first day in the country.
Switzerland's trains are among the best in the world — punctual, clean, and well-connected. For many journeys they're the obvious choice. But they're not always the most convenient, particularly for resort destinations with luggage, early morning flights, or group travel.

Is a private transfer worth it in Switzerland?
For airport pickups, resort travel, or any journey with luggage and a group, yes. The convenience and fixed pricing often make it comparable to train tickets once you factor in connections and transfers.
How much does a chauffeur service cost in Switzerland?
Prices vary by route and vehicle. All Grandlane rates are fixed and provided upfront — no surprises at the end.
Can I book a transfer from Zurich Airport to St. Moritz?
Yes. It's one of our most popular routes. Your driver monitors your flight and meets you at arrivals.
Do chauffeurs help with luggage?
Always. Assistance with bags is included as standard on every booking.
Are child seats available?
Yes. Just request one when you book and we'll have it fitted and ready.
Can I book a long-distance transfer in advance?
Absolutely — and we'd recommend it, especially during ski season when demand is high.
Is a private transfer better than taking the train?
Depends on the journey. Trains are excellent for city-to-city travel. For airports, mountain resorts, and travel with families or luggage, a private transfer is usually the better experience.
The journey is part of the trip. Arriving relaxed, on time, and without the stress of connections or lost bags sets the tone for everything that follows. That's what a good private transfer does.
Whether you're travelling from Zurich Airport to a mountain resort or between Switzerland's major cities, Grandlane Transfer provides a comfortable, reliable, and stress-free journey from start to finish. Book your transfer today.
