Your Transfer: What to Expect

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




The Route: This epic transfer connects two of Switzerland's most legendary alpine resorts. Since Zermatt is car-free, your driver meets you at the Matterhorn Terminal in Täsch. The route descends the Matter valley to Visp, crosses the Rhône valley, then climbs over the Simplon Pass or follows the A9/A13 through the central Alps via the Furka and Oberalp region. The drive passes through some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Europe, with glacier-capped peaks, deep valleys, and hairpin roads. The final descent into the Engadin valley brings you to St. Moritz at 1,822 metres.

Duration & Traffic: Under normal conditions the drive takes approximately 4h 20m. This is a long mountain drive. Winter conditions may require chains on some pass roads. Some passes close in winter, requiring alternative routing via the A9/A13 valley roads. Your driver selects the optimal route for the season. Allow 4–5 hours depending on conditions.

St. Moritz: What Awaits You

St. Moritz is the birthplace of winter tourism — the resort that invented the concept of an alpine holiday in 1864, hosted two Winter Olympics (1928 and 1948), and continues to define luxury mountain living. The town sits beside a frozen lake at 1,822 metres in the Engadin valley, surrounded by peaks exceeding 4,000 metres. The Corviglia, Corvatsch, and Diavolezza ski areas offer 350 kilometres of slopes across varied terrain. The legendary Cresta Run — a natural ice toboggan track dating to 1885 — remains exclusive and thrilling. St. Moritz averages 322 days of sunshine per year, giving rise to its trademark Champagne climate. The Badrutt's Palace Hotel, a landmark since 1896, anchors Via Serlas — the highest luxury shopping street in Europe.
