Private car transfer
from Milan to St. Moritz

St. Moritz is a very popular luxury ski resort town in the Upper Engadine, the long Alpine Valley region. And it doesn't shy away from the "luxurious" title. To start with, St. Moritz boasts one of Europe’s most expensive shopping streets, Via Serlas. Here, you’ll find world-famous brands like Versace, Cartier, Hermes, Bulgari, but also local Swiss craftsmen like Lamm Cashmere.

It's also home to some of the world's best upscale ski resorts, hotels, and restaurants. Treat yourself to a day at the spa before dining at two-Michelin-starred Da Vittorio St. Moritz. Before you go, load up on handmade chocolate, and teas from Glattfelder made from local mountain herbs and flowers.

Along with St Moritz’s snow, sun, and luxury, it also has a surprisingly robust art scene. Check St. Moritz’s official website for all the museums, galleries, and exhibitions you can enjoy between shopping and skiing.

Be prepared for the weather

Pack warm, comfortable, and waterproof clothing if you are traveling to St. Moritz in the winter. The skies may be sunny, but the snow on the ground is still cold and wet.

Stay up to date with the current climate conditions and check if the resort you are staying in announced any news regarding the weather. Check here to see how the weather will be during your stay.

Plan for cross-border travel requirements

Make sure you have all your documents, such as passports and any necessary visas for the international border crossing from Italy to Switzerland. Be aware of any customs regulations, especially if you're carrying significant amounts of cash or valuable items. Keep in mind the potential for mobile roaming charges and consider a travel SIM card or roaming plan to stay connected. Take a look here to choose the best option for you.

Your trip without the stops will take around three hours, but you'll be passing some of the prettiest views you’ll ever see, so will likely stop for a photo or two. And you’ll have the flexibility to stop by villages and towns to explore.

The downsides of a rental car are tolls on Italian motorways and a Swiss motorway vignette. And once you reach St. Moritz, you won't really need to drive!

Walk around Lake St. Moritz

Lake St. Moritz is one of the most “eventful” lakes in the world. Eventful, for in the winter when it freezes, which happens around January and February, horse races are held on the lake. Skijoring was also invented in this location so we can say that it is quite famous for unusual sports. If you are not into any, Lake St. Moritz is still a beauty to gaze at, walk around, or sail with a rental sailing, even to take sailing lessons at. Check here for your options.

Hike in the Engadin Valley

Summer in St. Moritz transforms the snow-covered slopes into lush, green landscapes, and has the perfect conditions for hiking. The Engadin Valley, with its network of well-marked trails, provides opportunities for all levels of hikers to explore the Alps. One of the most popular (and scenic) routes is the hike around the Muottas Muragl. The trails lead through alpine forests, past sparkling lakes, and up to vantage points. Along the way, you can stop at traditional Swiss mountain huts for refreshments and a taste of local cheese and charcuterie.
