Your Transfer: What to Expect

Pickup: Your driver collects you from your hotel, apartment, or any address in Lugano at the time you specify. No need to drag luggage to a train station or navigate public transport.

The Route: Your driver heads north from Lugano on the A2/A13 toward the Maloja Pass — or the Julier route via Chur — climbing from the Mediterranean-tinged Ticino through dramatic alpine terrain into the Upper Engadin valley. The approach to St. Moritz reveals the frozen lake and surrounding peaks in a panorama that justifies the resort's legendary reputation.

Duration & Traffic: Under normal conditions the drive takes approximately 2h 5m. The Maloja or Julier route is scenic but winding with significant altitude gain. Winter conditions may require chains. Allow 2–2.5 hours depending on pass conditions.

St. Moritz: What Awaits You

St. Moritz invented winter tourism in 1864 when hotelier Johannes Badrutt made a famous bet with British summer guests — if they returned for winter and weren't satisfied, he'd pay their travel costs. They stayed until spring. Since then, St. Moritz has hosted two Winter Olympics (1928 and 1948) and defined luxury alpine living. The town sits beside a frozen lake at 1,822 metres in the Engadin valley, surrounded by peaks exceeding 4,000 metres. With 350 km of slopes, the legendary Cresta Run ice toboggan (since 1885), and Champagne climate averaging 322 sunny days per year, St. Moritz is unmatched in prestige. The Badrutt's Palace Hotel has anchored Via Serlas — Europe's highest luxury shopping street — since 1896. The Segantini Museum houses masterworks capturing the Engadin's extraordinary light.
