Ski transfer Zurich Airport → Arosa Lenzerheide for skiers
You land at Zurich Airport (ZRH) and want to head straight to the Arosa Lenzerheide ski area with your skis, snowboard and the whole group – no changing trains in Chur, no dragging luggage along the platform and no connecting bus or postbus. SWIVON picks you up with all your equipment at the terminal and takes you door to door right up to your hotel, chalet or directly to the valley station in Arosa, Lenzerheide or Valbella. For ski equipment we use exclusively spacious vehicles: Mercedes Sprinter, Sprinter with trailer and coach.
Unlike a general city transfer, this journey is built entirely around winter sports – with room for every pair of skis and every board. Anyone looking for a prestigious limousine ride is in the wrong place: for a ski transfer, what counts is cargo space, not paintwork.
Our vehicles for the ski transfer to Arosa Lenzerheide
Skis and snowboards do not fit into an E-Class or S-Class. For winter sports we therefore rely exclusively on vans and buses with genuine cargo space.
Mercedes Sprinter – up to 20 people with equipment
The Mercedes Sprinter offers plenty of room for passengers, skis, boards and luggage in a single vehicle. Winter-ready with all-wheel drive and winter tyres – the first choice for families and smaller ski groups heading into Graubünden.
Sprinter with trailer – when the bus is fully occupied
If you travel at full capacity, we hitch up a trailer: this keeps all your ski equipment safely and dryly stowed, while every seat inside stays free for your group.
Coach with trailer – for large groups, ski schools & clubs
For large groups we organise coaches (up to 30 / up to 50 people): the luggage travels in the underfloor hold, and with plenty of equipment additionally in the trailer. If you would rather hire a coach with driver yourself, we provide the right vehicle. For medium-sized groups a Sprinter or minibus for up to 20 people is also suitable.
No limousines: for ski transfers we drive exclusively Sprinters, Sprinters with trailer and coaches – so that skis, boards and luggage are guaranteed to come along.
Ski luggage & equipment
We carry skis, snowboards, boots, helmets and poles free of charge. Simply tell us when you enquire how many pairs of skis or boards you are bringing and whether you have any bulky equipment with you – then we choose a Sprinter, Sprinter with trailer or coach so that everything is safely stowed. We are of course happy to help with loading at the terminal.
Groups, ski schools & clubs
Ski clubs, ski schools, company outings and large chalet parties are in good hands with us. From the Sprinter for the family to the coach for up to 50 people, your group stays together, the luggage travels in the same convoy, and you arrive at the ski area as one. Just give us the number of people, the equipment, the date and the pick-up points – and we will plan your ski transfer.
Winter roads, snow chains & safety
The mountain road from Chur up to Arosa is famous for its 365 bends, and the climb to Lenzerheide and Valbella also demands experience in winter. Our vehicles are winter-ready (all-wheel drive/4MATIC, winter tyres), with snow chains when needed, and our drivers know the route and the weather conditions. The agreed price stays fixed – even in snow, traffic or with a diversion there is no winter surcharge.
How your ski transfer works
- Send your enquiry: state the ski area, number of people, amount of equipment, date and addresses.
- You receive an offer with the right vehicle (Sprinter / Sprinter with trailer / coach) and your driver’s details.
- The driver meets you at the airport, helps load the equipment and takes you right up to your accommodation or to the valley station.
Route & travel time from Zurich Airport
To Lenzerheide the distance is around 145 km, with a pure travel time of about 1 hour 50 minutes. To Arosa it is around 155 km and a good 2 hours 20 minutes, because the winding mountain road from Chur with its 365 bends takes time. The route runs along the A3 past Lake Walensee, continues on the A13 through the Rhine Valley to Chur, and from there up the pass road to Lenzerheide or Arosa. In peak season and at weekends we build in a time buffer so that you reach the slopes on schedule.
Meet & Greet, flight tracking & waiting time – around the clock
We track your flight in real time and adjust the pick-up time automatically. On this longer route into the ski area the personal welcome is included: the driver awaits you with a name sign in the arrivals hall, helps with your luggage and equipment and accompanies you to the vehicle. A generous waiting time is included, and our service is available 24/7.
The Arosa Lenzerheide ski area
Arosa Lenzerheide is the largest connected ski area in Graubünden: since the opening of the Urdenbahn (the Hörnli–Urdenfürggli link), the resorts of Arosa and Lenzerheide/Valbella have merged into a single lift-connected area with around 225 kilometres of pistes and 43 lifts – for skiing and snowboarding, plus freeriding, cross-country skiing and winter hiking. The season runs roughly from late November to mid-April. We take you comfortably door to door: straight to your hotel, your chalet or the right valley station in Arosa, Lenzerheide or Valbella.
Return journey: Arosa Lenzerheide → Zurich Airport
We are your partner for the return trip too. We collect you with all your equipment outside your hotel, chalet or at the valley station and get you to Zurich Airport (ZRH) in good time. The return journey uses the same spacious type of vehicle – Sprinter, Sprinter with trailer or coach – with a time buffer for the winding mountain road, so that you catch your flight without stress.
