That unbeatable combination, discovered by travelers in 1864, continues to draw discerning visitors by the thousands. Here’s where to start planning your trip:
What to See & Do in St Moritz, Switzerland
Skiing
This is why St. Moritz became a world-famous resort over a century and a half ago. With 400 km/250 miles total of downhill runs, some of them 1.6 km/1 mile long, 160 km/100 miles of cross-country trails, and an Olympic ski jump, it’s among the world’s ski capitals. It also hosts the world’s oldest ski school.
The resort’s well-maintained slopes offer breathtaking views of the snow-covered Swiss Alps, creating a truly magical experience. Imagine gliding down the slopes, surrounded by stunning mountain peaks and glistening white landscapes. It’s a sight that will leave you in awe and make you fall in love with the sport even more.

As you venture into the wilderness, you’ll be greeted by panoramic views that seem straight out of a postcard. The crisp mountain air fills your lungs, invigorating your senses and rejuvenating your soul. The snow-covered landscapes sparkle under the glistening sun, creating a magical ambiance that is hard to replicate elsewhere.

With the Swiss Alps, cerulean lakes, verdant forests, and traditional architecture all around you, beautiful photographs appear every few minutes, in every season, day and night, year-round.

Day Trips from St Moritz
Using St Moritz as your base you can easily visit the nearby Engadin Valley towns of Silvaplana, Pontresina, Diavolezza, the Swiss National Park, and more.
Off-Piste Adventures
Beyond the slopes, St. Moritz offers a range of off-piste activities that are worth exploring. Take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the picturesque Engadin Valley, enjoy ice skating on the frozen lakes, or embark on a thrilling snowshoeing expedition to discover the region’s natural beauty.
Engadin Valley
St Moritz is located in the broad, long Engadin Valley (map) extending from Bever and Samedan to St Moritz, then through Champfèr, Suvretta, Silvaplana, and Sils to the Maloja Pass (1786 m/5955 ft); and from Punt Muragl through Pontresina to Morteratsch and the Bernina Pass (2286 m/7621 ft). Every town in the valley has a special beauty or attraction.

Swiss National Park
A national treasure nature preserve is open from June through October.
When to Visit St Moritz
Spring and autumn are quiet in St Moritz because most visitors prefer the summer (mid-June through mid-October) and winter (December through March). Hotel rates are lower in April because the weather is in between cold and warm. It’s not far-fetched to claim that there are two St Moritzes:
Winter
Winter is its shining season, with clear, bright, cold days, lots and lots of fine powder snow, spectacular natural scenery everywhere, and everyone concentrating on skiing, skating, and other winter sports.
Summer
Summer is also a time for outdoor sports: hiking, biking, mountain climbing, sailing, and more. But there’s even more to do in St Moritz in the warmer months: more concerts, more culture, and more fun events like the British Classic Car Meeting.

Traditional St Moritz mountain specialties include paper-thin, translucent, flavorful air-dried beef; local cheeses from the milk of the cows that pasture in the surrounding mountains; and the modest cornmeal cakes called polenta, which aspire to high cuisine in the capable hands of local chefs.
Naturally, these traditional favorites are supplemented by dishes from the great cuisines of Europe and beyond. You can even find good Chinese and Thai meals in St Moritz, let alone French and Italian.

Whether you choose a cozy chalet-style room or a lavish suite, you can expect nothing short of perfection in every detail.
Some of the top hotels in St Moritz were literally fit for a king, having been built as holiday homes for royalty. Others are nearly as grand, and yet others offer full comfort at thriftier rates.
Top Deluxe Hotels
The top deluxe hotels in St Moritz offer some of the finest accommodations, facilities, and service in the world, at prices equal to these high standards. Expect to spend from €250 to €600 and up per night for a double room, depending upon which hotel and room or suite you choose, when you visit, and how long you stay.
Badrutt’s Palace Hotel
A landmark in the center of St Moritz with spectacular views and perfect service, it’s been a favorite of celebrities and royalty since 1896. Created over a century ago by Caspar Badrutt, a scion of the family that first brought upper-class British visitors to St Moritz, Badrutt’s Palace Hotel looks as much like a castle as a palace, and serves both functions to visiting celebrities and jet-setters who require the height of luxury and perfect service in an atmosphere of high style and honored tradition.
Badrutt’s first guests expected the best of everything, and their demanding tastes set the tone of this palatial lodging for the next century. A soaring Gothic Great Hall with baronial black marble fireplaces, fortress-like towers, and a situation right in the town, may have exceeded their expectations. The hotel’s 10 guestrooms and suites have every comfort, and Badrutt’s provides all expected luxury services, as well as breathtaking alpine and lake views.

Carlton Hotel
Can a grand hotel be cozy? With only 60 suites, St Moritz’s imposing Carlton Hotel feels like an elegant mountain inn. High on a sunny hill with spectacular views all around, this smaller hotel has the ambiance of a luxurious “grand inn.” A 60-suite summer/winter holiday chateau worthy of the Emperor of All the Russias, St Moritz’s Carlton Hotel was just that: built in 1913 for Czar Nicholas II, it has the ambiance of a sumptuous but tasteful family home rather than of a jet-set hotel.
High on a sunny hill with spectacular views, the Carlton is utterly luxurious, but also comfortable and congenial, and only a short walk from the center of activity in St Moritz. The hotel has recently been completely renovated and the guest rooms have been converted to 60 luxury suites—less than half the number of suites than it had guest rooms. All suites face the lake and the Alps. Spectacular!

Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains
Looking like an 18th-century Swiss Schloss, the Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains has the advantage of being modern, having recently been completely renovated. Originally built as a grand spa hotel in 1896, the Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains was virtually gutted and the interior was rebuilt in grand style with all the modern comforts, conveniences, and safety features in 2002. Its 184 guest rooms and suites are worthy of its grand century-old heritage, but there’s no hint of anything cracked or creaky. Guests enjoy all the style and status of a Victorian palace but without the old-style facilities.
The hotel’s spa and wellness center includes a fitness center, indoor swimming pool, and a large sauna. The St. Moritz Casino is right next door, and admission is free for hotel guests. Perhaps because of its up-to-date old-time elegance, the Kempinski draws a younger, more active, and up-to-date clientele than its more traditional, formal neighbors such as Badrutt’s Palace, the Kulm Hotel, and the Suvretta House.

Kulm Hotel
St. Moritz’s palatial Kulm Hotel has welcomed visitors since 1856. Enjoy its indoor swimming pool with panoramic views and its private 9-hole executive golf course. The first grand hostelry to be opened in St Moritz, the Kulm Hotel is the grande dame of St Moritz hostelries, with a loyal, faithful clientele that thrives on tranquillity, formality, and tradition. The oldest of the hotel’s three buildings dates from 1760. The legendary Johannes Badrutt converted it to a lodging for foreign guests in 1856, and in 1878 it became the first building in Switzerland to be lit by electricity.
In the Kulm’s 180 spacious guest rooms, you get the palatial ambiance and 19th-century refulgence of old St Moritz, and also the conveniences and comforts of a top-class, five-star luxury hotel, with a sedate, tasteful atmosphere. The Kulm’s location is excellent: right in the St Moritz-Dorf town center, yet high enough up on the mountain slope to enjoy spectacular views.

Suvretta House
Formal, understated elegance set apart from the bustle of the town, St Moritz’s Suvretta House Hotel has its own private ski lift. Set a mile (1.6 km) apart from the bustle of St Moritz, Suvretta House is a refuge of understated elegance and conservative luxury that attracts loyal guests year after year. If you’re used to the best, enjoy a formal atmosphere, and don’t care for glitz, this is a good place for you.
The hotel’s imposing Edwardian architecture shelters 210 spacious luxury rooms and suites, most of which have recently been renovated. The estate on which it is set occupies a plateau that boasts its own private ski lift.

Other Deluxe Hotels
Besides its top luxury hotels, St Moritz has numerous other deluxe hotels that have every possible comfort but not the exceeding grandeur of the top luxury hotels. Not quite as grand as the top hotels, but still with every comfort and the best Swiss service: €200 to €500 double.
All have restaurants and bars, fitness centers, and, in the rooms, minibars, hair dryers, and safes for your valuables. There will also be TVs and Internet connections.
Hotel Monopol
A newer 66-room hotel right in town with furnishings ranging from the old and elegant to sleek, modern Swiss. Built only a few decades ago, St Moritz’s Hotel Monopol gives you a selection of room styles, some 18th-century, some 20th and 21st, all luxurious and comfortable. Set on a busy street in the center of St Moritz-Dorf halfway between the Plazza da Scoula (Schulhausplatz) and the palatial Kulm Hotel, the Monopol is convenient to shops, cafes, good strolling streets, and local transport.

Though sleekly modern on the outside, the knotty-pine alpine interior decor at the modern Hotel Crystal puts you in the proper St Moritz mood. The Hotel Crystal has 73 medium-sized guest rooms, each of which has a TV, minibar, hair dryer, safe, and an Internet connection. There’s a large fitness center, sauna, Turkish bath, restaurant and bar.

Hotel Schweizerhof
The feeling of a bygone era—and a Kaiser’s birthday! You get the feeling that little has changed—at least in spirit—at St Moritz’s Hotel Schweitzerhof since it opened in 1896. The “Swiss Palace,” as its name translates, is grand in a traditional way. It’s still owned and operated by the same family, who passed down the story of Kaiser Wilhelm II celebrating his 48th birthday here in 1906.
Kaiser Bill may have been a dope, but he knew how to choose a good hotel. The Schweitzerhof’s 84 guest rooms vary in size, bathroom amenities, and view, the less expensive ones being on the north side, the best rooms facing south. Two restaurants and four bars provide plenty of opportunities for relaxing and socializing in the formal ambiance of a bygone era. The location is excellent, just up the street from Badrutt’s Palace, with fine views of the lake and mountains from many rooms.

Moderately-Priced Hotels
Moderate hotel prices in St Moritz are not low, and the accommodations are not super-luxurious, but plenteous Swiss comfort, charm and service abound in these well-located hostelries. All the necessary comforts and conveniences, but without the grandeur and lofty prices: €150 to €250 double. Buffet breakfast is included in the rates.
Hotel Eden
A family-run 36-room Italianate villa in the midst of palatial hotels. A simple modern structure with hints of an Italianate villa, located right in St Moritz-Dorf between the extravagant Kulm Hotel and Badrutt’s Palace Hotel, the Hotel Eden has been family-owned and -operated for decades. The 36 pine-panelled rooms are simply but appealingly furnished with Swiss antiques, and each has its own private bathroom. The location is central and quiet, off the main street, and easy walk to everything.

Hotel Languard
In St Moritz-Dorf right next to the posh Kulm Hotel, a family-run, Swiss-pristine hotel with fine views. If the neighboring Kulm Hotel is the cathedral, the Hotel Languard is its rectory. The Languard was built a century ago to be the family quarters of the owner of the grand Kulm, and is now a family-run hostelry of 22 rooms in an excellent location right between the Kulm and the Hotel Eden, with the fabulous Badrutt’s Palace Hotel just below. The breakfast room of the Hotel Languard shares spectacular views of the lake and mountains with all the guest rooms on the south side of the hotel. Rooms on the north side have no views to speak of but are still pleasant, tidy, comfortable, and quiet. All the rooms at the Languard have a private bath. Service is traditional Swiss and familial. Like its neighbor the Hotel Eden, the Languard is a hotel Garni, meaning that it serves breakfast, but no other meals. There is limited parking next to the hotel.

You’ve seen it in those idyllic photos of St Moritz: the very Swiss-looking inn by the late. Once a tavern, now a 54-room hotel, the “Forest Home on the Lake” is known for its views and dining as well as its comfy rooms.

Budget Hotels
Let’s face it, St. Moritz began as a resort for the rich and famous, and it still is. But there are places to stay that do not require the income of an oil sheik or a dot-com billionaire. In fact, you can sleep comfortably in St Moritz for as little as €35 per night. Expect a small but adequately comfortable, Swiss-clean room, and perhaps a few other services.
Transport to & in St Moritz, Switzerland
Town buses, Swiss trains, the Glacier Express, all about the Swiss Travel System for St Moritz and beyond.
St Moritz is linked to the rest of Switzerland by train via the Swiss town of Chur (a two-hour ride: map). From Chur, you can board trains for Basel, Geneva, Zurich, and other Swiss destinations.
St Moritz is also linked by train to Milan and Munich.
Swiss Travel System
The Swiss Travel System, as it is aptly termed, includes trains, buses, boats, ferries, funiculars, and other means of moving you around. They’re all linked, they’re all superbly organized, and they all run on time, as you might expect.
Go to the Swiss Travel System website and you’ll discover that the heart of the system is the Swiss Federal Railways, known by its initials SBB (German), CFF (French) and FFS (Italian). Buy a Swiss Pass to take advantage of this superb system at a value-for-money price.
The system is better organized than any other travel system I’ve ever seen. You can get timetables for any route on any combination of cities, print them out or download them to your PDA… It’s simply incredible.
Trains, buses, and boats are frequent, comfortable, punctual, and safe.
Why is it so good? Well, it’s not just the Swiss talent for organization and punctuality. Switzerland is a small, mountainous country that came of age well before the advent of the automobile. Its mountainous topography dictates that many of its travel routes must go along river valleys, so when railroads were all the rage in the 19th century, the Swiss built railroads all along these valleys. They even tackled the mountains, taking the trains around, up, down, and even right through the rock!
Soon the entire country was knitted together by good trains. When the internal combustion engine became all the rage in the 20th century, the Swiss added post buses—fast public buses that also carried the mail—following routes that were better served by road than the train.
Travel by Car
All that having been said, only a car gives you complete freedom of mobility. You can easily rent one at a Swiss airport (Basel, Geneva, or Zurich) and drive through the Alps to St Moritz (230km/143 miles, 3 hours; map).
Glacier Express & Buses
The famous Glacier Express excursion train runs between St Moritz and Zermatt. Buses also connect St Moritz with Chur, Lugano, and Pontresina.
Travel Zürich <-> St Moritz, Switzerland
If you arrive at Zürich International Airport (Flughafen), take the train (zug) from beneath the airport terminal building to Zürich Hauptbahnhof (“Zürich HB,” Zürich’s Main Railway Terminal), a 12- to 15-minute ride.
From Zürich HB, trains depart for all points in Switzerland and beyond on the Swiss National Railways (SBB/CFF/FFS) network.
Trains from Zürich to St Moritz run several times each day. Here’s an example: map. The exact trains and routes you take depend on the date and time you travel. Check the Swiss National Railways website for schedules.
The trip usually takes between 3-1/2 and 4 hours, and you may pass through, or change trains in the town of Chur, a major railway junction in eastern Switzerland.
The train brings you to St Moritz Bahnhof, the main station at the bottom of the hillside from the town. You can walk up the hill to your hotel, or take a town bus.
