Private Transfer Zurich to Chur: 95 Minutes with Lake Stopover

The route crosses from city to Alps, with a chance to stop at turquoise water.

A private transfer from Zurich to Chur (or vice versa) takes 95 minutes in an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver who speaks English, Spanish or German. The route passes Lake Walensee, where you can request a scenic stop to photograph the turquoise water and the Churfirsten mountain range. Bottled water and WiFi are included. Child seats are available on request, and the service is wheelchair accessible throughout.

The experience

The drive from Zurich to Chur covers roughly 95 minutes of road that climbs from the city into the foothills of the Swiss Alps. Your driver handles luggage and can accommodate up to five large bags and three small ones, so you travel with everything you need without juggling it yourself. The vehicle is air-conditioned and equipped with WiFi, and bottled water is on hand for the journey.

Lake Walensee sits partway along the route, and you can ask the driver to stop there if you want to step out and take photographs. The lake's turquoise water sits against the backdrop of the Churfirsten peaks: a moment most travelers don't expect to find on a transfer. The stop is optional and adds no charge. It simply breaks up the drive if the landscape appeals to you.

The service runs in both directions: you can depart from Zurich heading to Chur, or reverse the route entirely. Child seats are available if you're traveling with young children, and the vehicle and all boarding areas are wheelchair accessible. Your driver is trained to assist with luggage, special requests and local knowledge about the region you're entering.
