Around 2 hours 20 minutes via the A1, fixed price from CHF 352.50 per vehicle, door to door into the UNESCO old town or the parliament district: how to plan the transfer to Bern.
Bern has no airport with significant scheduled traffic – anyone travelling to the federal city lands in Zurich or Geneva. From Zurich the journey is shorter, and with a private transfer it becomes the calmest leg of the trip: you get in at the arrivals hall and out in front of the hotel, the embassy or the company headquarters. Here is everything you should know about price, duration and procedure.
Price and driving time
The Zurich Airport–Bern transfer costs from CHF 352.50 per vehicle in the Business Class – for the 117 km route via the A1 with a driving time of around 141 minutes in normal traffic. Included: meet & greet, 60 minutes of waiting time after landing, flight tracking, child seats and VAT. Larger groups of up to 7 choose the Business & Family Class in the booking process; details of all classes are on the vehicles page.
Who benefits most from the transfer to Bern
Delegations and business travellers with appointments in the parliament district or in Ittigen, Köniz and Wankdorf, where the station is not the destination. Families on the way to the Bernese Oberland who plan Bern as a stopover – from there Thun and Interlaken are only a short drive. And anyone travelling with luggage for longer stays; our article How many suitcases really fit? helps with the vehicle choice.
Train or transfer?
The rail connection Zurich Airport–Bern is good, but involves a change or stop at Zurich main station, and in Bern the second leg begins at the station with tram or taxi. The transfer makes sense if you travel as two or more, have appointments outside the centre, land late or want to fix the price in advance. Our article Taxi or train from Zurich Airport? compares the options in general.
Practical
Bern's old town is largely traffic-calmed; the driver brings you as close as permitted to your destination and helps with the luggage. Book outbound and return together so the journey back to the airport is as predictable as the arrival – book here.
