Zurich to Fribourg Transfer

The Zurich to Fribourg transfer takes you to the language border between German- and French-speaking Switzerland. The town on the river Sarine has one of the largest medieval old towns in Switzerland, crowned by St. Nicholas Cathedral, and a bilingual university.

At around 159 km from Zurich Airport, you reach Fribourg in about an hour and three quarters. We drive students and professors, business travellers and guests continuing to Murten or the Gruyère region.

Why choose a private transfer from Zurich Airport to Fribourg?

By train, the journey from the airport to Fribourg involves at least one change. With suitcases, accommodation in the lower town or a destination such as Gruyères, a direct car is much simpler. Our private transfer from Zurich Airport to Fribourg offers you:

• Into the old town: including the lower town by the Sarine, which is hard to reach by train
• On into the canton: Murten, Gruyères, Bulle and Schwarzsee at a fixed price
• 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 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 on the A1 towards Bern and onto the A12 from Bern
4. Arrive at your hotel, office or private address in Fribourg

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

Return: From Fribourg to Zurich Airport

For a 09:00 flight we pick you up in Fribourg at around 04:45. For pick-ups on Friday afternoons we allow more time around Bern, when many students and commuters are on the road. 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 Fribourg

The drive takes the A51 and the A1 west past Aarau and Olten to Bern, then the A12 towards Vevey to the Fribourg exit. The drive usually takes 1 hour 45 to 2 hours 15. The Bern area is the stretch that can cost the most time at rush hour.
