Your Travel Options to Buchinger Wilhelmi

1. Flying – Zurich Airport (ZRH) or Friedrichshafen (FDH)

Most international guests arrive via Zurich Airport, Switzerland’s largest and best-connected international gateway.

From Zurich, the drive to Buchinger Wilhelmi takes around 1 hour 20 minutes.

Friedrichshafen Airport is closer (approx. 35 minutes), but offers significantly fewer international connections.

For long-distance travellers, Zurich Airport is the most convenient entry point.

2. By Train

Train connections from Zurich Airport or Zürich HB to Überlingen take 2–2.5 hours and require 1–2 transfers.

While the journey is scenic, it may be less ideal for wellness guests due to luggage handling, walking between platforms, and longer travel time.

3. Private Chauffeur (Most Recommended for Clinic Guests)

For guests seeking comfort, privacy, and a smooth start to their programme,

a private chauffeur service is undeniably the most comfortable and stress-free choice.

A chauffeur offers:

• Direct pickup from Zurich Airport or your hotel

• No transfers or waiting

• Assistance with luggage

• Quiet, comfortable environment — ideal before starting a fasting programme

• Premium vehicles such as Mercedes S-Class, Maybach, BMW X7, and V-Class

Most Buchinger Wilhelmi guests choose this option because it creates a calm transition into the clinic experience.
