Taxi from Lech to Davos: the price, the car and the pickup
Lech to Davos: 148 km, around 2 hours 10 minutes.
Need a transfer from Lech am Arlberg to Davos? We collect you at your hotel, chalet or apartment and drive you there without changes and without stops on the way — one vehicle, your group, nobody else — no shared shuttle and no waiting for strangers to be collected first.
Our vehicles are winter-ready 4x4s with ski racks and plenty of space for up to 8 passengers with luggage, driven by experienced local drivers who are on these roads every day of the season. Skis and snowboards travel at no extra charge, and child seats are fitted free.
We give you the fixed price on request — per vehicle and one way, not per person.
Leaving Lech means the Flexenstraße first
Every drive out of Lech begins the same way, wherever it is going: over Zürs and along the Flexenstraße to the Alpe Rauz, then down to Stuben and Langen. About twenty kilometres, and they are the part a distance calculator underestimates — galleries, bends and speed limits, not fast road.
When there is avalanche risk the Flexenstraße is closed, and then there is no way round. It is the only road out of Lech in that direction. Guests stay the night in Stuben, Langen or St. Anton and travel on the next morning, usually after eight, once the road opens.
That is not small print, it is the reason we set off earlier than the arithmetic needs on a long drive. We can see in the morning how the road is, and we would rather tell you the evening before to start half an hour earlier than promise an arrival time that depends on a barrier. Getting you there on time is what the margin is for, and it is the one thing a reliable transfer has to get right.
Where we pick you up in Lech
The transfer starts at your door. Where a vehicle can reach it we collect there; where it cannot, at an agreed point nearby.
- Lech village
No restricted streets here — we pull up at the hotel door like anywhere else.
- Oberlech
Three ways in, depending on the building: the Oberlechbahn valley station, the Umschlaghalle and your hotel’s own tunnel, or the whole way up by road. Reception knows which is yours.
- Zug near Lech
Reached directly, a few minutes up the valley beyond Lech.
- Zürs am Arlberg
On the road out in any case — a pickup there costs no detour.
The road on to Davos
From Langen the road runs down the Klostertal to Bludenz and on past Feldkirch into Switzerland, through Sargans to Landquart. There it turns south up the Prättigau, through Klosters, and crosses the Wolfgangpass at about 1,630 metres into Davos.
The Wolfgangpass is kept open all year and never steeper than about ten per cent, so it is not a dramatic road — but it is a pass, and a serious blizzard can shut it for a few hours. Our cars carry chains through the winter and the drivers fit them; that is ordinary here rather than an extra.
Klosters is on the same road, roughly ten minutes before Davos, and it is the same run — say which of the two when you book. Davos and Klosters are one ski area with their own lift pass, separate from Ski Arlberg, so check before you buy anything.
The Lech to Davos route on the map
The route from Lech to Davos, stop by stop
Read the drawing from the top down and the first thing it tells you is the direction. Davos goes west, down the Klostertal and out through Feldkirch — the opposite way from St. Moritz, which turns back east over the Arlberg. Two drives from the same village with almost nothing in common after the first twenty kilometres.
The middle of it is the easy part: motorway from Bludenz, across the Rhine past Buchs, then south along the valley through Sargans and Landquart. That stretch moves.
The last part does not. From Landquart the road climbs the Prättigau to Klosters and then over the Wolfgangpass at about 1,630 metres into Davos. That pass is the difference between this drive and the one to St. Moritz, which crosses none at all.
Davos Platz or Davos Dorf? It decides your morning
Davos is not one place but two, strung along the valley about two kilometres apart, each with its own railway station. Guests book a hotel without noticing which half it is in, and then find out on the first morning.
It matters because the lifts are split between them. The Parsenn railway goes up from Davos Dorf; the Jakobshorn cable car leaves from Davos Platz. Whichever half you are staying in is the one whose lift is on your doorstep, and the other is a bus ride or a walk along the valley.
For us it changes nothing but the address, and we drive to the door either way. But tell us the hotel rather than just "Davos" when you ask for a price — and if you are still choosing, it is worth knowing before you book the room rather than after.
Two places that can hold this drive up in winter
The first is twenty kilometres from the start. The Flexenstraße out of Lech closes for avalanche risk and has no alternative — it is the only road out in that direction.
The second is at the very end. The Wolfgangpass above Klosters is kept open all year and never steeper than about ten per cent, so it is not a dramatic road — but it is a pass, and a serious blizzard can shut it for a few hours. When that happens, Klosters is still reachable and Davos is not, which is the one practical reason to know the difference between them.
Our cars carry chains through the winter and the drivers fit them at the roadside. What matters more is the hour we set off: we check both ends before leaving and, on a bad morning, we say so rather than promise a time that depends on a barrier.
Klosters, ten minutes before Davos
Klosters sits on the same road, before the pass rather than after it, and it is the same run for us — say which of the two when you ask for a price and we quote it as one journey.
Klosters is also the northern end of the Vereina car train, which carries vehicles through the tunnel to Sagliains in the Lower Engadin. Guests occasionally ask to be set down at the loading station rather than in the village; we do, at the same fixed price.
Davos and Klosters are one ski area on one lift pass, and it has nothing to do with Ski Arlberg — worth checking before you buy anything, because the two are not interchangeable.
Taxi or train from Lech to Davos?
The train reaches Davos perfectly well — Landquart, then the Rhaetian Railway up the Prättigau through Klosters. For one or two people travelling light it is a good journey and we would take it ourselves.
What it cannot do is start where you are. Lech has no station, so a rail journey begins with a road transfer down the Flexenstraße whatever you do, and it ends at one of the two Davos stations rather than at your hotel — which, in a town two kilometres long, is not the same thing. With four people and ski equipment, those two ends are the whole argument.
| Private transfer | Train | |
|---|---|---|
| Starts at | Your door in Lech | Langen or St. Anton — Lech has no station |
| Getting to the train | Not needed | A transfer down the Flexenstraße first |
| Changes | None | Connections along the way, ending on the Rhaetian Railway |
| Skis and cases | Loaded once, stay with you | You carry them at every change |
| Arrives at | Your hotel in Platz or Dorf | One of the two Davos stations |
| Best for | Groups, families, ski equipment | One or two travelling light |
And back again: from Davos to Lech
We drive the transfer in both directions, at the same fixed price. Give us the time and the address in Davos when you ask, and a car is there for it — late at night and early in the morning included.
If you already know you are coming back, ask for both directions at once: the car is then allocated to both, and booking early costs you nothing extra.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer from Lech to Davos?
We give you the fixed price on request — per vehicle for up to 8 passengers, not per person. Send us the pickup address, the date, the time and how many of you there are, and you get the binding price back before you commit to anything.
How do I pay for the ride?
You pay the driver directly, in cash or by card — Visa and Mastercard are accepted. The price is fixed per vehicle and confirmed when you book, so you know the full amount before the journey starts.
Do you collect from Oberlech and Zug as well?
Yes. In Oberlech the meeting point depends on how your building is reached: at the Oberlechbahn valley station, at the Umschlaghalle if your hotel has a tunnel of its own, or the whole way up if the road goes there. Tell us what reception told you. Zug we reach directly.
Do you drive at night and early in the morning?
Yes, around the clock. For a departure before six in the morning, book the day before so the driver and the vehicle are already allocated.
Can the road from Lech to Davos close in winter?
Two places can hold you up. The Flexenstraße out of Lech closes for avalanche risk and has no way round; the Wolfgangpass above Klosters can shut for a few hours in a blizzard. Both are cleared as a priority, and we check them before setting off rather than after.
Do you drive from Lech to Klosters as well?
Yes — Klosters is on the same road about ten minutes before Davos, and we quote it as one journey. Tell us which of the two when you ask for a price.
