Zurich to Solothurn Transfer

The Zurich to Solothurn transfer takes you to the town regarded as the most beautiful baroque town in Switzerland. St. Ursus Cathedral dominates the old town, and the number eleven runs through the town, from fountains to bells. In January film people come for the Solothurn Film Festival, and in May writers come for the literature festival.

At around 98 km from Zurich Airport, you are in Solothurn in about an hour and ten minutes. We drive festival guests, business travellers and visitors continuing to Grenchen or up the Weissenstein.

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 towards Bern
4. Arrive at your hotel, office or private address in Solothurn

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

Return: From Solothurn to Zurich Airport

For an 08:00 flight we pick you up in Solothurn at around 04:30. At the end of the film festival many guests leave on the same day, so it pays to book your return together with your arrival. 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.
