The journey follows scenic mountain routes through the Alps and along lakes. Travel time may vary depending on weather conditions, border crossing, and any stops you choose to make.

With Daytrip, you can make your private transfer and add a sightseeing stop for the same amount of time it would take on a bus.
Do I need different currencies for this trip?
Yes, you'll need both Swiss Francs (CHF) for Switzerland and Euros (€) for Italy. While credit cards are widely accepted in both countries, it's advisable to have some cash in both currencies for smaller establishments, especially in rural areas. ATMs are readily available in towns along the route if needed.
What are the must-see stops between St. Moritz and Como City?
Key stops between St. Moritz and Como include the charming town of Corenno Plinio, the medieval Monastery on a tiny finger of land jutting into Lake Como, the scenic Horror Gorge (named for the howling water sounds), and the picturesque village of Varenna on Lake Como's eastern shore.
Are there any border control procedures when traveling from Switzerland to Italy?
Yes, there are border control points between Switzerland and Italy, as Switzerland is not part of the European Union, though it is part of the Schengen Area. EU citizens can travel with just an ID card, while non-EU travelers need a valid passport. Border crossings are generally efficient but can experience longer waits during peak tourist seasons.
What is St. Moritz known for?
St. Moritz is a luxurious alpine resort town in the Engadine Valley of Switzerland, known for its exclusive atmosphere, winter sports (including two Winter Olympics), and stunning mountain scenery. The town features elegant hotels, high-end shopping, thermal springs, and the frozen lake that hosts the famous "White Turf" horse races in winter.
What should I know about Como City before arriving?
Como City sits on the southwestern shore of Lake Como, blending historic charm with modern amenities. The city features impressive Gothic-Renaissance architecture, a stunning cathedral (Duomo), vibrant piazzas, and a scenic waterfront promenade. Don't miss the funicular to Brunate for panoramic views, and explore Como's renowned silk production heritage in local museums and shops.
What's the best time of year to travel from St. Moritz to Como?
The best time to travel from St. Moritz to Como is during late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) when temperatures are pleasant, mountain passes are clear of snow, and tourist crowds are smaller. Summer (July-August) offers warm weather but brings more tourists, while winter (November-March) can bring snow in mountain areas, requiring winter driving precautions.
