Bern is the Swiss federal capital, and its old town, wrapped by the River Aare, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is 126 km from Zurich Airport on the A1. A Zonetransfers driver meets you in the Airport Center arrivals hall and drives you to Bern from €315 per vehicle.
The road distance from ZRH to Bern is about 126 km, roughly 1 h 30 min by private car. With Zonetransfers the fare starts at €315 for the whole vehicle (one to four passengers), fixed when you book.
