Yes, staying in Klosters during WEF 2027 can be a practical alternative to staying in Davos, but late-night transport requires planning. Trains connect the two towns, and an on-demand night bus service operates in the region. However, neither a short train journey nor an available night service guarantees a convenient return after a late dinner or networking event. Your best option depends on the finishing time, exact locations and transport availability.
The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2027 takes place from 18–22 January in Davos, Switzerland.
For executives, delegates and event visitors considering accommodation in Klosters, the important question is not simply how far Klosters is from Davos.
It is: How will you get back to your accommodation when your final meeting or reception finishes later than expected?
This guide compares trains, regional night transport, possible WEF shuttles and pre-arranged private transfers to help you make that decision.
Travel information checked: 20 October 2026. The final WEF 2027 special transport arrangements should be verified closer to the event.
Is Klosters a Good Place to Stay During WEF 2027?
Klosters can be a good base for WEF visitors who prefer accommodation outside Davos and can plan their daily travel. It becomes less convenient when evening commitments are unpredictable or when several participants need to travel independently.
Klosters and Davos are connected by the Rhaetian Railway and regional roads. The rail journey is relatively short, but travel time between two railway stations does not represent the entire journey.
Consider a visitor whose accommodation is outside central Klosters and whose evening reception is at a venue in Davos.
That journey may involve:
- Walking from the event venue to a station or agreed pickup point.
- Waiting for an available train or vehicle.
- Travelling between Davos and Klosters.
- Getting from the arrival point to the accommodation.
In January, winter conditions and WEF-related traffic arrangements can make these connections more important.
The practical lesson: Choose accommodation based on your complete daily schedule, not only the distance shown on a map.
How Can You Travel from Davos to Klosters at Night?
There are several transport options worth checking before committing to accommodation in Klosters.
| Transport | Best suited for | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Rhaetian Railway | Visitors with predictable finishing times | Fixed departure schedules |
| invia PickMeUp night bus | Flexible travellers using supported stops | Booking and vehicle availability |
| WEF shuttle, if confirmed | Eligible users travelling on covered routes | Access rules, stops and operating hours |
| Pre-arranged private chauffeur | Executives or groups with time-sensitive returns | Advance coordination and service availability |
No single option is best for every traveller.
1. Rhaetian Railway: The Scheduled Train Option
The Rhaetian Railway (RhB) connects Davos and Klosters, making the train a practical choice for many daytime and evening journeys.
Relevant stations include:
- Davos Platz
- Davos Dorf
- Klosters Platz
- Klosters Dorf
The appropriate departure and arrival stations depend on your hotel and event location.
For a predictable schedule, rail travel can be convenient because you do not need to arrange a vehicle or parking.
However, the crucial detail is the last available connection on your specific travel date.
What Is the Last Train from Davos to Klosters During WEF 2027?
There is no single last-train time that should be assumed for every evening of WEF 2027.
Switzerland’s annual timetable changes on 13 December 2026, and additional services or timetable adjustments may be introduced for major events.
Before relying on rail transport, check:
- Your exact departure station in Davos.
- Your destination station in Klosters.
- The date of travel.
- The latest available departure.
- Any planned timetable changes or special services.
Use the official SBB timetable to check connections.
Do not assume the final train leaves at 10 PM or that trains continue after midnight without verifying the timetable.
2. invia PickMeUp: An After-Midnight Transport Option
One useful alternative that visitors may overlook is invia PickMeUp, an on-demand public transport service operating in the Davos–Klosters region.
Unlike a conventional bus with a fixed departure timetable, PickMeUp allows travellers to request a journey through its app, subject to the operating area and availability.
According to the operator’s published seasonal schedule, its main Davos–Klosters operating area, known as Area A, offers winter night service from midnight until 6 AM.
Area A includes Davos Platz, Davos Dorf, Klosters Platz and Klosters Dorf, alongside other listed locations.
However, several limitations matter for WEF visitors.
It is not a guaranteed private transfer.
- Journeys must be requested and confirmed.
- Pickup times can involve waiting of up to one hour.
- Requests may be declined if no suitable journey is available.
- The service uses official and designated virtual stops rather than guaranteeing hotel-door pickup.
- A single booking can include up to six passengers.
- Other passengers may share the vehicle.
- The Davos Klosters guest card is not accepted as a ticket for this service.
The operator currently permits advance bookings up to seven days ahead, subject to its rules.
For someone returning from an informal evening without a strict deadline, PickMeUp may be worth considering.
For an executive with a time-sensitive itinerary, an uncertain pickup window may be less suitable.
Important: The published seasonal schedule does not independently confirm capacity or special arrangements during WEF 2027.
Check the latest information on the official invia PickMeUp website (in German).
3. Will WEF 2027 Provide Shuttles Between Davos and Klosters?
Previous World Economic Forum meetings have included special transport arrangements between Davos and Klosters.
However, past shuttle timetables should not be treated as confirmed arrangements for 2027.
Before depending on any WEF shuttle, establish:
- Whether a Davos–Klosters service will operate.
- Who is eligible to use it.
- Whether accreditation or another access credential is required.
- The operating hours on your travel date.
- The location of the final stop.
- Whether late-night departures are available.
A WEF-related shuttle should only be included in your return plan once its 2027 eligibility and timetable have been confirmed.
What Happens If Your WEF Event Ends After Midnight?
This is where staying in Klosters can become more complicated.
A daytime journey between Davos and Klosters may be straightforward. Returning after a networking dinner, private reception or extended business meeting requires a different level of planning.
After midnight, do not count on scheduled trains. Two options remain: the invia PickMeUp night service, if your journey fits its area, booking rules and capacity, or a private return arranged before the evening. Which one fits depends on how fixed your return time is. Use the planner below to check your finishing time.
If being late to the next commitment would be a significant problem, arrange a suitable return plan before the evening begins.

Evening Return Planner: Davos to Klosters during WEF 2027
Find the transport options worth checking for your return from a late WEF meeting, dinner or reception. Choose when your event is likely to finish.
My event finishes before 10 PM
Scheduled train may be practical
Check the latest Davos–Klosters train connections for your exact travel date and departure station. Make sure you can reach your accommodation after arriving in Klosters.
Need to be back at a fixed time, or door to door? A pre-arranged private return is the alternative.
My event finishes between 10 PM and midnight
Confirm your last connection
Your event may finish close to the final convenient rail departure. Check the official timetable and any confirmed WEF shuttle arrangements. Have an alternative plan if your event runs late.
The invia PickMeUp night service starts at midnight, not before. If the evening may run past midnight, read the next option before you leave for the event.
My event finishes between midnight and 6 AM
Plan your night return before the event
The published winter schedule for invia PickMeUp includes midnight-to-6-AM service in its main Davos–Klosters area. Booking is required, availability is not guaranteed, and waiting times may reach 60 minutes. One booking covers up to six passengers, and other passengers may share the vehicle.
Check night bus details on invia PickMeUp (in German)
Fixed return time? If your departure time is important or several passengers need to travel together, discuss a pre-arranged chauffeur service. Pickup arrangements remain subject to availability and WEF access restrictions.
Check the date: a return at 00:30 after a dinner on 20 January is a journey on 21 January. Use that date for timetables and bookings.
My event finishes after 6 AM
Check morning train connections
The published winter night service of invia PickMeUp ends at 6 AM. From early morning, scheduled trains are the first option to check for your date and departure station.
Need to be somewhere at a set time? A pre-arranged private return is the alternative.
Travelling as a group of seven or more? One PickMeUp booking covers up to six passengers, so check public transport separately for each part of the group. For a private return, tell us the group size and luggage first; the vehicle plan depends on both.

Is It Better to Stay in Davos or Klosters for WEF 2027?
The answer depends on your programme rather than the prestige or location of a particular property.
When Klosters Makes Sense
Klosters may be suitable if:
- Your meetings have relatively predictable finishing times.
- You prefer accommodation outside central Davos.
- You are comfortable planning daily rail or road journeys.
- Your group has an agreed transportation arrangement.
- You do not need to return to your accommodation frequently during the day.
For some executive teams, having a quieter base outside Davos can be worth the additional journey.
When Staying in Davos Is More Practical
Accommodation in Davos may be preferable if:
- You expect multiple meetings at different venues throughout the day.
- You regularly attend late-night receptions.
- You want to minimise the number of transport connections.
- Your schedule changes at short notice.
- You prefer to walk between accessible nearby destinations where practical.
Even when staying in Davos, remember that WEF security arrangements may affect vehicle access and walking routes.
The Hidden Cost of Staying Outside Davos
The real cost of accommodation is not necessarily the nightly room price alone.
It also includes:
- Time spent travelling each day.
- Transport expenses.
- Waiting between connections.
- The need for alternative arrangements.
- Coordination requirements for multiple travellers.
A hotel in Klosters may suit one visitor extremely well but create unnecessary complications for another.
The correct comparison is accommodation plus the complete transport plan, not simply Davos versus Klosters on a map.
Should You Book a Private Chauffeur Between Davos and Klosters?
A private chauffeur between Davos and Klosters during WEF 2027 gives you a return planned around your evening: an agreed pickup point in Davos, your Klosters address as the destination and no timetable to catch.
This is particularly relevant for:
- Executives attending private dinners and receptions.
- Corporate teams returning to accommodation together.
- Delegations with changing evening programmes.
- Visitors travelling with equipment or additional luggage.
- Assistants coordinating multiple passenger movements.
If your evening ends early and on time, the train is usually enough.
A chauffeur becomes more relevant when timing, coordination and the final destination make a pre-arranged vehicle worthwhile.
What Should You Confirm Before Booking?
Before discussing a Davos–Klosters chauffeur arrangement, prepare the following information:
- Travel date: Which evening will you need transportation?
- Pickup location: Which hotel, restaurant or event venue in Davos?
- Expected finish: When is the event likely to end?
- Destination: What is the exact Klosters accommodation address?
- Passengers: How many people will travel together?
- Schedule flexibility: Could the departure time change?
- Contact person: Who can confirm the final pickup instructions?
The exact pickup location must remain subject to road accessibility, security restrictions and the applicable WEF arrangements.
For executive teams coordinating several movements, our WEF delegation transportation service explains how to discuss a broader transport programme.
How to Avoid Late-Night Transport Problems During WEF
Before confirming accommodation in Klosters, establish a realistic return plan for every evening when you expect to remain in Davos.
A simple approach is to separate your travel arrangements into three categories.
Confirmed: The journey and relevant pickup details have been agreed.
Provisional: The expected journey is known, but the event finishing time or location may change.
Backup: An alternative you can investigate or arrange if the original journey becomes unavailable.
Do not list an unbooked vehicle or unconfirmed public transport service as a guaranteed backup.
Also remember that your event location and your transport pickup location may not be the same.
Previous WEF meetings have involved temporary security controls and restricted vehicle access in parts of Davos. The exact rules for 2027 should be checked with the responsible authorities before finalising pickup instructions.
Davos–Klosters Transport Checklist
Before you confirm accommodation in Klosters, check these five points for every evening you expect to stay in Davos.
- Last train: you have checked the latest Davos–Klosters connection on SBB for your exact date and departure station.
- Night bus availability: you know whether invia PickMeUp serves your pickup and arrival stops, and that a request can be declined if no vehicle is free.
- Pickup point: you know where you can be collected near your venue, allowing for WEF access restrictions on the day.
- Accommodation address: you have the exact Klosters address and know how you get from the station or stop to the door.
- Backup plan: you have an alternative for an evening that runs late, and you know whether it is booked or still needs arranging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Travel from Davos to Klosters After Midnight?
Yes, after-midnight travel may be possible through the regional on-demand night bus or an available private transport arrangement. The invia PickMeUp service currently publishes winter operating hours covering midnight to 6 AM in its main Davos–Klosters zone. All journeys remain subject to its booking conditions and availability.
Does the Last Train from Davos to Klosters Leave at 10 PM?
Do not assume a 10 PM final departure. The last usable train depends on the date, departure station, destination and published timetable. Check the relevant January 2027 connection through SBB before travelling.
Is invia PickMeUp the Same as a Private Taxi?
No. PickMeUp is an on-demand public transport service. It uses designated stops, operates through a booking system and may carry other passengers. It does not guarantee immediate or private door-to-door service.
Can I Pre-Book invia PickMeUp During WEF?
The operator currently permits reservations up to seven days ahead, subject to its booking window and conditions. This does not guarantee that a requested journey will be available during WEF 2027. Check the app for the exact date and route.
Can I Use a WEF Shuttle Without Accreditation?
Do not assume unrestricted access. The eligibility rules for any WEF 2027 shuttle must be confirmed through the official event transportation information. A shuttle operating during WEF is not necessarily available to every visitor.
Is Klosters Suitable for a Delegation Attending Several WEF Events?
It can be, provided that the group’s movements are planned. If delegates have different schedules, late meetings or independent return times, the transport requirements may be more complicated than a single daily group transfer.
Final Advice: Book Your Accommodation and Plan Your Return Together
Staying in Klosters for WEF 2027 is not necessarily inconvenient. Arriving at the end of a late Davos event without a workable return plan is the real problem.
If your programme ends early, regular public transport may suit your needs.
If you expect to finish after midnight, investigate the regional night service and confirm its limitations.
If you are managing executive schedules, delegation movements or time-sensitive returns, arrange the private return before the event, not at the venue door.
