Zurich to Baden Transfer

The Zurich to Baden transfer takes you to a town that has been known for its thermal springs since Roman times. Today the FORTYSEVEN thermal bath, built to plans by Mario Botta, is the best-known example. Baden is also an industrial town with a long history: Brown, Boveri & Cie., the company that later became part of ABB, was founded here in 1891.

At only around 28 km from Zurich Airport, Baden is one of our closest destinations. Many guests come for a conference at Trafo Baden, a meeting at one of the industrial companies or a few days at the thermal bath.

Why choose a private transfer from Zurich Airport to Baden?

The train to Baden is quick, but from the airport it usually means a change at Zurich HB or Oerlikon. With suitcases, a conference bag or a hotel outside the old town, a car gets you to the door in about half an hour. Our private transfer from Zurich Airport to Baden offers you:

• Straight to the venue or hotel: Trafo Baden, the FORTYSEVEN thermal bath and company sites in Baden and Dättwil
• Wettingen and Ennetbaden too: the neighbouring towns are part of the same short transfer
• Flight tracking: your driver adjusts to delays at no extra cost
• Fixed price: agreed before you get in, handy for expense claims
• Available around the clock: early departures and late arrivals alike

For groups of more than 6 people we arrange coordinated group transfers with several vehicles.

How much does a transfer from Zurich Airport to Baden cost?

How the airport pick-up works

Your driver waits for you in the arrivals hall at Zurich Airport with a name sign. Your flight is tracked in real time, a delayed landing costs you nothing and you do not need to call when you land. The process:

1. Arrive at ZRH Terminal 1 or 2 and collect your luggage
2. Walk to the arrivals hall, where your driver waits with your name
3. Luggage loaded, departure via the A51 and the A1 into the Limmat valley
4. Arrive at your hotel, office or private address in Baden

The same process applies to our entire Zurich airport transfer service to every destination.

Return: From Baden to Zurich Airport

Because the route is short, many guests only book their return at the end of the conference. For a 07:00 flight a pick-up in Baden at around 04:15 is enough. In the late afternoon we expect more traffic in the Limmat valley and pick you up earlier. We plan the pick-up so that you reach the terminal about two hours before departure.

• The same fixed price in both directions: the return costs the same as the outward trip
• No night surcharge: a 03:00 pick-up is charged at the normal rate
• Luggage loaded at your door: no platform, no second taxi
• Flight changes absorbed: tell us the new departure time and the pick-up moves with it

Book both directions together and the vehicle is also reserved for your departure date. For regular or recurring trips, contact us directly.

The route: Zurich Airport to Baden

From the airport the route takes the A51 onto the A1, through the Gubrist tunnel and the Limmat valley to the Baden exit. The drive usually takes 25 to 35 minutes. During the morning and evening rush hours traffic can slow down before the Gubrist tunnel and near Neuenhof.

Baden is compact: the station, the old town, the spa quarter and Trafo are only a few minutes apart on foot. Information about the town is available from the town of Baden.
