Summary
The 52nd World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting will take place January 16-20 in Davos, Switzerland. The annual meeting draws between 2,000-3,000 participants from government, media, non-governmental organizations, business, and civil society to discuss current global challenges. OSAC is not aware of any specific threats to WEF events and participants. However, the event has historically attracted anti-globalization protesters to major Swiss cities; this year, there is a likelihood that there will be climate change protests as well as demonstrations related to Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. There is also a general risk of terrorism throughout Europe. The following assessment provides information on potential security concerns to the private sector during the event. It also includes an overview of security measures implemented in Davos during the meeting.
Logistics
While there are WEF-related events held around Davos and across the region, the main part of the annual meeting takes place at the Davos Congress Center, which is about three hours from Bern, in a small village with limited accommodations. Currently, there are no entry restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic – no proof of vaccination, recovery, or testing is required for entry into Switzerland.
Badges
Registered invitees and only an extremely limited number of personnel will be eligible to obtain a badge granting access to the Congress Center. Other accompanying personnel will be eligible to obtain a less restrictive badge granting access to most roads and hotels within Davos. Delegation hotel badges have been renamed to Affiliate Badges.

Figure 3. Security Zone Access Map with Badge Information (Source: World Economic Forum)
The Affiliate Badge is a World Economic Forum Annual Meeting badge and will grant access to all secured hotels during the week. The badges will cost approximately USD 100 each. All registrations must be fully complete in the system (no missing photos, date of birth, ID/passport information, etc.) by 1800 on January 12. Badges must be worn visibly around the neck at all times when entering and inside a security zone. The organizers have said that the loss of any World Economic Forum Annual Meeting badge is a serious incident and must be reported immediately to the Security Affairs team through the Forum Emergency Number +41 (0) 79 523 91 95, who will block the badge and advise on the next step. In case a hotel badge is lost, the attendee should immediately contact the hotel from which you have requested the badge.
There are Affiliate Badges quota for Forum business partners and Public Figures delegation.
- Public Figures delegations: 7 Affiliate Badges per public figure
- Strategic Partners: 25 Affiliate Badges
- Business Partners: 2 Affiliate Badges
Unless arranged to be collected by a delegation, everyone with an approved registration should come in person to the registration desk with the same ID/passport used to complete the online registration. Affiliate Badges can be picked up at the Registration located on the ground floor of the Media Village (on Kurgartenstrasse, opposite the Ice Stadium), during the following times:
- January 15-16: 0600-0000
- January 17-19: 0600-2100
- January 20: 0600-1400
Separately, the hotel badge will grant access to all secured hotels during the entire week, with the exception of the Kongress Hotel. To receive a hotel badge and a hotel car sticker, both driver and vehicle need to be registered via the secured hotels (AlpenGold Hotel Davos or Precise Tale Seehof Davos), which will then be issued by the police. New collection point for hotel badges and hotel car stickers at Altes Postzentrum, Bahnhofstrasse 3, 7270 Davos-Platz (Silvretta shopping center).
Access to some zones is restricted for vehicles with selected car stickers from 1800 on January 15 until 1800 on January 20. AlpenGold Hotel will already be restricted starting on January 14 at 1800. All vehicles entering a security zone are subject to be searched by the police. There are three car sticker types: Congress Center car stickers, hotel car stickers, and resident car stickers. For all stickers, the driver and passengers must have a badge with the relevant access rights. Hotel car stickers will be issued by the police and need to be requested directly through the secured hotels beforehand.
A car sticker can be issued for:
- Public figures
- Strategic partners
- Congress Center deliveries

Hotels
WEF controls most hotel rooms in Davos and the surrounding areas, and blocks them for the exclusive use of invitees. Non-invitees (support staff) should attempt to rent private apartments. Non-WEF assigned accommodations typically consist of ski apartments, houses, or similar accommodations. Expect high rental rates, with the cost of available rentals increasing as the event draws near. Also, due to heavy competition for space, the later reservation and payment is made, the further away the housing will be from the Davos Congress Center, which then means that cars and transfers will be necessary.
Those renting an apartment/meeting space in a zone secured by the police (e.g., Carlton Park on Promenade 95, Promenade 97, Promenade 107) will need to request a resident badge for non-Annual Meeting badge holders. Tenants must contact the owner/landlord who have received instructions from the police about how to apply and collect a resident badge. Wi-Fi with average surfing speeds is quite common, while high-data use connections and cabled/wired connections are less common/not readily available.
The security of secured hotels is the responsibility of the Swiss authorities (cantonal police Graubünden); the hotel management is responsible for safety inside the secured hotels. To access the secured hotels, the individual will need the Annual Meeting or the hotel badge; hotel or Congress Center sticker is needed for vehicle access. No car sticker is needed to access the Steigenberger Grandhotel Belvédère. This will be in effect from January 15 at 1800 to January 20 at 1800; at the AlpenGold Hotel, this will be in effect starting on January 14 at 1800.
Getting Around
Davos has two major roads, approximately one quarter kilometer apart – one goes north to south and a parallel road goes south to north. Once in Davos, most of the venues are accessible within a 15-minute walk from the Congress Center. There are snowy and slippery hills, and the sidewalks can be wet/icy, even in May when the average low temperature hovers near freezing. Winter boots are highly advised for safety when walking around town. There will be a shoe check counter at the official locations, where people change from boots to the indoor shoes they carry with them. While public transportation and WEF shuttle services (for invitees only) are the most common modes of transport, some participants will hire private vehicles. The shuttles are authorized to have direct access to all WEF venues, unlike privately rented vehicles. All World Economic Forum Annual Meeting badge holders may use the public transport (bus and train) in Davos and Klosters free of charge.
Expect significant traffic congestion in the town during WEF events. Participants should plan to walk or take shuttles. Even then, entering official WEF venues can take a long time. The security checks are as extensive as those at airports and, at peak times, security check lines can be very long. Arranging a vehicle pick up is also difficult, as chauffeurs cannot idle for long periods of time outside of a pickup point. Drivers may have to circle around again in traffic if security asks the car to move on from a pickup point.
Host Nation Security
During the Annual Meeting, Davos will be freely accessible but there will be some zones with restricted access. However, Davos will be under high security, especially near the WEF venues. Swiss police and security services are professional, well equipped, and reliable. In addition to thousands of police officers, as many as 5,000 members of the Swiss Army and Air Force as well as private security will most likely deploy to Davos during the WEF to ensure event security. While the police will be involved in maintaining public order, army personnel will most likely oversee surveillance of critical infrastructure in the area, ensure enforcement of air restrictions, and survey the area via aircraft. The army will also provide fencing equipment, monitoring devices, emergency lighting, sandbags, and first aid. The WEF’s Security Affairs team is responsible for the Forum’s safety and security activities. The team works in close collaboration with the local, cantonal, and federal authorities, and continually assesses the security environment, adapting the level of security as needed. The security and exclusivity zones will be under permanent video surveillance.
From 1800 on January 15 to 1800 on January 20 and starting at 1800 on January 14 at the AlpenGold Hotel, everyone, without exception, will require accreditation, including a security check by the police. Individuals may only access the security zone with a World Economic Forum Annual Meeting badge. Hotel badges grant access only to the Hilton Garden Inn as well as Promenade 101 and 95, as well as with a Congress Center car sticker.
The exclusivity zone includes the main venues of the Annual Meeting: Ice Village, Media Village, Kurpark, Congress Center, as well as @ the Museum and the Open Forum. Access to the Congress Center will be restricted from 0800 on January 2 to 1800 on January 23, and at the Kongress Hotel, access will be restricted from 1400 on January 15 to 1800 on January 20. Only those with the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting badge with relevant access rights will be allowed.
There is a restriction on liquids for anyone entering the Congress Center, Media Village, Kurpark, Ice Village, @ the Museum, Open Forum, Kongress Hotel, as well as Hilton Garden Inn and Promenade 101. Those entering the security zones can only bring containers that hold a maximum 100ml, though liquid medication can be transported in containers of more than 100ml (following a check). All containers must be carried in a transparent and resealable plastic bag, with a maximum capacity of 1 liter; the bag must be presented separately at the security check points.
People entering the control points will be asked to identify themselves as well as permit inspection of vehicles and transported objects. Meeting planners have not publicly disclosed security plans at the venues, but these are likely to include airport-style screening with X-ray equipment and metal detectors (wands and machines), as well as possible physical pat downs and bag searches for individuals entering secured areas. At peak times, these security checks could cause significant delays. Security forces will also most likely use closed-circuit television (CCTV), anti-ram/anti-intrusion systems, and perimeter fencing/barricades.
In addition to the security zones, authorities will enforce wider control and search zones around Davos. While access to the control and search zones will not be restricted as heavily as the security zones, those accessing these areas may be subject to checks, and should prepare to present identification. Additionally, personal belongings and vehicles will be subject to random checks by police in the control and search zones.
Secured Hotels
There are three secured hotels for the WEF: AlpenGold Hotel (former InterContinental), Precise Tale Hotel Seehof, and Hilton Garden Inn and Promenade 101. Their security is the responsibility of the Swiss authorities, while the hotel management is responsible for safety inside the hotels.
Traffic
Traffic and parking restrictions in parts of Davos will also go into effect for the WEF, increasing congestion and travel times.
Detailed information on traffic restrictions is found here.
Figure 6. Traffic Plan Davos WEF 2023 (Source: Grisons Canton)
Air-travel restrictions will be in place for the duration of the World Economic Forum. Various measures have been taken at the request of the Graubünden government in order to guarantee security. Civil aviation may continue to fly through the restricted airspace, with advance announcement and identification. The Air Force is responsible for the approval.
Restrictions may tighten for brief periods as warranted. The Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) usually publishes flight announcements, accreditation guidelines, and other information regarding air travel during WEF. A general aviation guide for charter aircraft operators planning to fly to Zurich (ZRH) or Bodensee/Friedrichshafen (FDH) during the WEF is available online.
Transportation
Davos is a small, remote, alpine ski resort, not located near any other major metropolitan areas. It is over two hours by car from Zurich, which has the closest major international commercial airport. Below are several ways to travel to Davos:
- By air: Zurch Airport (ZRH) is the primary arrival point for those traveling to WEF by plane. The smaller Friedrichshafen Airport (FDH), though located in Germany, is not much further from Davos than ZRH. Helicopter flight time to Davos runs 40-60 minutes from Zurich. If flying by private aircraft, note that landing and parking permissions can be challenging to secure due to the high volume of private and government aircraft landing during the week of the event. Aircraft parking is particularly limited. There are often fees associated with walk-throughs at the airport.
- By road: It takes approximately 2.5 hours to travel from Zurich to Davos by car. Participants can either hire a car and drive to and from ZRH, or rent a car to self-drive.
If self-driving, note that there are four official languages; prepare for the signage to change languages throughout the country. Swiss highways are toll roads; drivers must purchase a vignette sticker to affix to the inside of the windshield before using the highway system. Vignettes are available for purchase at gas stations, post offices, or any manned vehicle border crossing.
There is likely to be congestion on the roads, especially on the first day of WEF, due to the large number of official and VIP convoys; allow extra travel time. Delays on the narrow, one-way streets can be lengthy; it is often faster to walk short distances. Weather conditions are also unpredictable, and could impact travel time.
- By train: Switzerland is world renowned for its public transportation system, and Davos is accessible by train. Public transportation throughout Switzerland is safe and reliable. The train from Zurich Airport takes approximately two hours and 45 minutes, and costs approximately USD 25 each way for a standard second-class ticket. Choose Zürich Flughafen (airport) as the departure point, and Davos Platz or Davos Dorf as the destination, depending on whichever is closest to your hotel. The train requires two transfers – one at the main Zurich train station, and another at Landquart. Check the timetable and other information on the official Swiss Federal Railways website. As with road travel, the police will most likely have ID checks at the transfer station in Landquart. For more information on rail traffic, consult SBB and Rhaetian Railway.
Demonstrations
Usually, there is minimal risk from civil unrest in Davos. However, WEF has in the past sparked demonstrations not only in Davos but in other Swiss cities, which have sometimes resulted in violence. In 2022, dozens of anti-capitalist protesters clashed with the police in Zurich a few days prior to the start of the 2022 World Economic Forum. Swiss police reportedly used pepper spray and rubberized pellets to break up the march through the downtown district. The unauthorized “Smash WEF” demonstration has been a regular occurrence in Zurich before the Forum meets in Davos, and it is likely that they will protest this year as well. A group of climate change activists also protested in Davos.
In 2020 (during the last annual meeting prior to the COVID-19 pandemic), several hundred people marched in Zurich in a permitted demonstration, which turned violent when protesters ignited fireworks and threw bottles. Swiss police reportedly used water cannons, rubber bullets and tear gas, and arrested three people. One passerby was injured by fireworks and a policeman was hospitalized. It was not only anti-WEF protesters that demonstrated, but also climate change activists.
In 2019, an unauthorized gathering of autonomous left-wing groups burned a large symbolic house of cards, reportedly symbolizing the global capitalist system, though it did not result in wider destruction. Demonstrators directed anti-capitalism protests in part towards senior U.S. leadership, who the protesters viewed as representations of capitalism. Other protesters focused on climate change.
Since 2002, when anti-WEF protests and rioting peaked, the size and scope of the demonstrations in Switzerland have declined significantly. Violent clashes between protesters and police have occurred occasionally since then, including in 2004 and 2009. However, in recent years, protests associated with the WEF have largely been peaceful and manageable from a law enforcement perspective. Most demonstrations consist of chanting, sign waving, and street theater, which are non-violent in nature.
The dramatic decline in support for anti-WEF protests is in part due to effective policing tactics that have minimized threats stemming from demonstrations. The primary mode of transportation protesters use to travel into the city is the train; because it has a limited schedule, police can monitor arriving passengers and identify potential problems before they occur. For protesters using cars and buses, authorities can control the main access routes in and out of the city, capitalizing on Davos’s strategic and isolated location. As a result, protesters have targeted surrounding cities where security forces are less concentrated, such as Bern, Basel, Chur, Geneva, Winterthur, and Zurich. Protesters may also plan to congregate in nearby locations and march to Davos.
Anticipated Demonstrations in 2023
Protesters may promote activity on social media with the hashtags #SmashWEF, #NoWEF, #AntiWEF, or similar. Anti-capitalist, anti-WEF, as well as climate change and animal rights-related demonstrations are not likely to be the only ones taking place during the WEF. For instance, there could be protests and rallies related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, both pro-Ukraine and pro-Russia/anti-NATO as well as demonstrations related to rising cost of living across Europe. Protesters in the past have also demonstrated against COVID-19 measures such as lockdowns and vaccinations. The WEF offers a highly publicized avenue, giving groups greater publicity for their respective causes. Since even peaceful demonstrations have the potential to turn violent, generally avoid all protests and demonstrations, regardless of location.
A climate activist group known as “Climate strike Switzerland” has called for rallies across Switzerland. For instance, in December 2022, they organized a small rally in Zurich and Basel against the appointment of a car lobbyist to be the Minister of Environment. The police presence was relatively large compared to the small size of the gathering, with at least four emergency vehicles, which resulted in traffic disruptions. Even the most peaceful demonstrations are most likely to attract a large police presence and countermeasures that could result in increased traffic, road closures, and other disruptions.
Graubünden authorities said that they are willing to authorize protests; in order to hold a demonstration, detailed arrangements have to be made between the organizers and the authorities. If a demonstration is held without authorization, the authorities will take whatever measures are required to ensure security and freedom of movement of residents and guests. Those who commit criminal offences will be prosecuted. However, unauthorized protests related to various causes are likely to occur, as the Forum provides a well-publicized opportunity for groups and individuals to highlight their cause.
Threat of Violence
The WEF is a traditional rally point for left-wing extremists. While the risk of violent crime and violent protests is generally low in Switzerland, the activities of certain extremist anti-establishment groups may occasionally manifest in violent incidents. Actions of such groups have included graffiti/building defacement, arson, bomb threats, and attacks with rudimentary explosives.
The Swiss Federal Intelligence Service (FIS) assesses that violent left-wing and right-wing extremists remain the primary threat. In their annual security assessment, the FIS has said that social polarization and fragmentation bring with them the risk of violent extremism, citing violent COVID extremism as an example. As the pandemic and related restrictions remain abetted at the moment, associated extremism is expected to diminish. However, the FIS assesses that certain individuals or groups, who have been radicalized during the pandemic, will turn to new issues and continue their violent activities.
According to the 2022 FIS assessment, there were 202 recorded incidents linked to violent left-wing extremism and 38 linked to violent right-wing extremism. In 2021, the FIS’s remit was broadened to include violent COVID extremism, and since then it has identified 35 related incidents. While the number of incidents linked to right-wing extremism has increased compared to 2020, the number linked to left-wing extremism has remained stable at a high level.
Left-wing extremists have historically demonstrated a greater propensity toward violence in Switzerland, usually targeting organizations involved with globalization and law enforcement. The issues of greatest importance to left-wing extremist are anti-capitalism, migration and asylum, anti-fascism, anti-repression, and Kurdish interests. The modus operandi of violent left-wing extremists has remained similar to the one observed in previous years, including organizing demonstrations, causing damage to property through paint attacks or window smashing, and carrying out arson attacks. They also use improvised explosive devices and physical violence. According to the FIS, the targets of physical attacks were primarily individuals believed to be right-wing extremists or, at demonstrations, the security forces.
Both movements are also heavily influenced by current events. The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting refugees across Europe, high cost of living, rising energy costs, as well as the ongoing climate change crisis could potentially be triggers for individuals and groups associated with both left- and right-wing extremists.
The WEF provides extremists in Switzerland one of their main platforms for drawing attention to their cause. The police will deploy tear gas and water cannons to maintain order, if necessary. Review OSAC’s report, Surviving a Protest.

Terrorism
The U.S. Department of State assesses Bern being a low-threat level and Geneva as being medium-threat level location for terrorism. While there is a general threat of terrorism throughout Europe, Islamist extremists have not specifically targeted the WEF. At this time, OSAC is not aware of any specific, credible terrorist threats against WEF 2023. The WEF does not appear to be a priority target for Islamist extremist actors currently targeting Europe. Recent Islamist extremist attacks in the region have focused on generating civilian casualties in soft-target locations; they have also targeted police and military personnel.
The FIS assesses the terrorist threat in Switzerland to be elevated, emanating primarily from the jihadist movement, and in particular from individuals who have been inspired by jihadist propaganda. ISIS and al-Qa’ida pose the dominant threat in Europe, including in Switzerland. ISIS has reorganized and consolidated itself as an underground movement following the loss of its last territories in 2019; however, it continues to pursue an international agenda, increasingly acting opportunistically. Threat posed by al-Qa’ida persists, as it still has the intent to carry out attacks on Western targets.
Extremists have long viewed Switzerland as a place for planning, funding, and providing logistical support for terrorist operations, but the country had long avoided the terrorist attacks that affected other Western European nations. Terrorist actors could opportunistically attack Swiss or foreign interests in Switzerland, with jihadist-motivated lone actors with a very simple modus operandi as the most likely perpetrators. The war in Ukraine has not so far had any direct impact on the terrorist threat in Switzerland and across Europe.
Lone-actor attacks across Europe highlight a shifted paradigm of terrorist planning and attack execution. Self-radicalized, unaffiliated lone offenders and homegrown violent extremists, possibly aligned with transnational terrorist groups, still pose a serious risk due to their ability to remain undetected, at times, until operational; their willingness to attack civilians and soft targets; their ability to inflict significant casualties with weapons that do not require specialized knowledge, access, or training; and their unpredictability. Attacks on soft targets such as transport facilities or gatherings of people remain the most likely scenario. In recent years, it has been difficult to determine the motivation of the perpetrators in every case, because it is increasingly likely that individuals who perpetrate acts of violence, though inspired by jihadist ideology, will be led to do so because of psychological or other personal problems.
Terrorists have been known to target areas with large crowds in public gatherings where they are able to inflict the most damage, including tourist attractions, public transportation systems, airports, and large conferences. The WEF is a hardened target, and security measures implemented in Davos before and during the WEF should mitigate the risk of terrorist activity against the meeting. If a terrorism incident were to occur in Switzerland during the WEF, it would most likely be outside of Davos, in one of the larger Swiss cities such as Geneva, Bern, or Zürich.
In case the U.S. Mission in Switzerland becomes aware of an imminent and more specific threat that could impact U.S. citizens, it will release a Security Alert. Find any Consular alerts from the U.S. Embassy in Bern on OSAC’s Switzerland country page and on the U.S. Embassy website.
Crime
The U.S. Department of State assesses Bern as being a low-threat location and Geneva as a medium-threat location for crime. ​The cities of Switzerland are relatively safe. Bern has low crime rates, while the larger cities of Zürich, Geneva, and Basel have slightly higher crime rates. Regardless, the number of criminal incidents and violent crimes reported across Switzerland’s 26 cantons are low when compared to cities of similar size and demographics across Europe.
While violent crime against foreign visitors is rare, petty crime is more common. Most common types of criminal activity include shoplifting, pocket picking, petty theft, and larceny. These crimes are particularly prevalent in transportation hubs (e.g., train and tram stations, airports, bus stops) and tourist areas. Find complete 2021 crime statistics (most recent) on the Swiss Government’s Federal Statistical Office website. Exercise good situational awareness and take commonsense precautions with belongings when out in public, especially in larger cities, to mitigate the risk of becoming victims of crime. For more information on crime in Switzerland, see OSAC’s Switzerland Country Security Report.
Other Concerns
​Historically, Switzerland has always been a hub for foreign intelligence services, due to its neutrality and location in the center of Europe. This risk could potentially be higher in the context of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, which has prompted sanctions against Russia and pushed Finland and Sweden to apply to join NATO. Also, various European states have recently expelled Russian intelligence officers, which might lead the Russian services to deploy their forces in countries, like Switzerland, which have not carried out any expulsions.
The FIS assesses Geneva to be the geographical focus of illegal intelligence in Switzerland, though Bern and Zürich are also vulnerable for such activities. These locations are attractive operational bases due to their banking services, high-tech industry, NGOs, universities and private companies, as well as international organizational headquarters (e.g., UN, WTO, WHO, Red Cross). A major event like the WEF can be an attractive forum for intelligence collection activities.
While not confirmed, during the 2020 WEF, a Swiss newspaper reported that Swiss officials reportedly foiled an apparent spying operation by Russians posing as plumbers in Davos ahead of the WEF; the pair allegedly presented diplomatic passports and left the country. The FIS assesses that espionage by foreign intelligence services continues to affect Switzerland significantly; find more information can be found in the FIS annual report.
Individuals should practice good operational security, especially in hotels. This includes not leaving important or sensitive documents in hotel rooms or safes. The same is true for personal and company-owned electronics. Avoid using unsecured, public wi-fi and, when necessary, use a VPN. Generally, conducting sensitive business or transactions “over the air” as opposed to on wi-fi is more secure. When possible, avoid having sensitive conversations in public spaces.
