Switzerland's major events through the year: there and back with a chauffeur
Switzerland hosts world-class events all year round. Many are in the mountains or in towns where parking is scarce. Here is our calendar, with tips for getting there.
Winter: Davos, Wengen, St. Moritz
In January politics and business meet at the WEF in Davos, and around the same time the world's best skiers race the Lauberhorn in Wengen. February brings White Turf on the frozen Lake St. Moritz. For all three: book early and allow extra time for snow.
Spring and summer: Basel, Montreux, Lucerne
In June, Art Basel draws collectors from around the world. July brings the Montreux Jazz Festival on Lake Geneva, and from August to September the Lucerne Festival of classical music. For evening concerts, a chauffeur waiting right at the entrance afterwards is worth it.
Autumn and year end: Zurich and Davos
Late September and early October is the Zurich Film Festival, and between Christmas and New Year's Eve the Spengler Cup in Davos, one of the oldest ice hockey tournaments in the world.
Where we were in 2026
This year we were on duty at the WEF in Davos, in St. Moritz and at Art Basel, among others. For upcoming events our website has dedicated pages with dates and fixed prices, for example for the Spengler Cup and the Lauberhorn races.
