Every January, the Forum brings 3,000 of the world's most security-sensitive individuals into a town built for 11,000. The result is the most demanding ground operation in the European calendar.
The Forum begins on a Monday. The real operation starts ten days earlier, when the Swiss federal protection unit closes the perimeter, when the Klosters and Arosa hotels lock their last rooms, and when the Samedan heliport reaches saturation.
Why the Davos week breaks most operators
Operators arriving for the first time discover that there is no parking, no last-minute rooms, and no margin for error. The Promenade is one-way, the federal checkpoints are non-negotiable, and a missed pickup at the Belvédère is a story that travels.
The clients who matter most do not need to hear about logistics. They need their car at the right curb, at the right minute, in any weather, with the same chauffeur all week.
How FFGR Swiss prepares the week
We pre-allocate parking by August. We block heliport slots at Samedan and Zurich Kloten by September. We hold rooms in Davos, Klosters, and Arosa for our chauffeurs from October — non-cancellable, because their absence breaks the operation.
Every principal is matched with a single chauffeur for the full week, supported by a senior coordinator who is the only point of contact for the cabinet, the security detail, and the hotel concierge.
The Inner Circle
The Quiet Letter
Once a month, a short letter from our concierge: new destinations, off-season opportunities, and itineraries we'd otherwise reserve for repeat clients. No marketing, no noise, ever.
What we recommend, in order
Book by November. Confirm the helicopter relay from Zurich for the Monday morning arrival window. Specify the principal's vehicle preference and any dietary or temperature requirements at the chauffeur briefing. Plan exits a full day before the closing plenary.
Above all: choose an operator that has done this before. Davos rewards experience, and the cost of a mistake is not measured in francs.
