Audio Guide of St. Moritz Station

St. Moritz is accessible year-round, with the village open 24 hours a day, although attractions such as cable cars operate from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM in season. You can arrive by train from Zurich via the Glacier Express line or by car along the Engadin road; for more details, visit the official website stmoritz.com.

Entry to the village is free, but activities such as the Corviglia cable car cost around CHF 40 per adult. There are seasonal passes to save money, such as the Swiss Travel Pass; check updated prices at stmoritz.com.

For a basic visit, spend at least one full day exploring the village and the lake, but ideally 2 to 3 days if you plan to ski or hike. This gives you time to enjoy the alpine views and activities without rushing.

St. Moritz became a tourist destination in 1864 as a summer spa resort and hosted two Winter Olympics in 1928 and 1948, highlighting its role in elite sport. Its Engadin culture blends Romansh and Swiss traditions, with a heritage that includes Romanesque churches and local festivals.

Winter from December to March is ideal for skiing and snow, while summer from June to September offers hiking and crystal-clear lakes with fewer crowds. Avoid July and August if you are looking for snow; sunrise or sunset provides the best photos.

The village center is mostly accessible with paved paths, and there are elevators in hotels and adapted cable cars, but mountain trails can be challenging. Contact +41 81 837 33 33 for specific options or visit stmoritz.com for accessibility guides.

Nearby you will find Lake St. Moritz for boat rides, the Engadin Valley with villages such as Samedan, and the Swiss National Park, a 30-minute drive away. Do not miss the Bernina Express, a UNESCO route; more info at rhb.ch.
