A Graubünden ski week pairing St. Moritz with Davos-Klosters means a long arrival from Geneva, around 400 km and 5 h to St. Moritz, followed by a much shorter move between the two resorts mid-week. It suits travellers who want to explore eastern Switzerland in depth rather than ski close to the airport. AirportsTransfers.ch can drive the full journey from GVA in one comfortable leg, take you across to Davos-Klosters and bring you back.

Two classic eastern Swiss resorts
St. Moritz sits on a lake in the Upper Engadine, a high, wide valley known for dry, sunny weather. Its main ski areas are Corviglia above the town, Corvatsch across the valley with long runs and views over the Engadine lakes, and Diavolezza near the Bernina Pass, with glacier scenery and high-altitude snow. The town is famous for winter sport history, the Cresta Run and the frozen-lake events held in season.
Davos and Klosters share a large ski area in the neighbouring Prättigau and Landwasser valleys. Parsenn is the best-known sector, with long descents towards Klosters and down to several villages, while Jakobshorn, Pischa, Rinerhorn and Madrisa add variety. Davos is a sizeable town, known internationally for hosting the World Economic Forum's annual meeting, whereas Klosters is a quieter village with a traditional feel. The contrast with St. Moritz makes the week feel like two separate holidays.
The long journey from Geneva Airport
St. Moritz is the farthest point of this trip, about 400 km and 5 h by road from GVA. The usual route crosses the Swiss plateau towards Zurich and continues east to Chur before climbing into the mountains via the Julier Pass or the Albula region, depending on conditions. It is a long day, and a private transfer turns it into one continuous leg with stops when you want them, rather than several changes with skis. Many travellers break the trip with lunch along the way.
Alternatively, you can take the train from Geneva to St. Moritz, which involves changes, and use a chauffeur only for the final stretch, or vice versa. The car is clearly easier with skis, boot bags and children.
The move from St. Moritz to Davos-Klosters
There are two main ways across. The Flüela Pass road links the Lower Engadine with Davos and is generally kept open in winter, though it can close temporarily after heavy snowfall. The other route uses the Vereina tunnel, a car-carrying train between Sagliains in the Lower Engadine and Selfranga near Klosters, which runs year-round and avoids the pass. Either way, the journey is a couple of hours from St. Moritz in normal conditions, comfortably done in a morning or early afternoon.
- Check the Flüela Pass status on the day; your chauffeur will choose the best route.
- The Vereina option is reliable in bad weather and convenient for Klosters.
- Plan the move on a weekday to avoid weekend traffic.
Planning your passes and rest days
The two areas use separate lift passes, so buy each for your days there. Rest days are easy to fill: in the Engadine, cross-country skiing on the valley floor, walking on cleared winter paths and the frozen lakes; in Davos, toboggan runs, ice rinks and museums. The Rhaetian Railway, which crosses the region, offers scenic journeys if you want a day without driving.
A sensible split is four nights in St. Moritz, which justifies the long arrival, followed by three in Davos or Klosters. Choose Davos if you like a town with plenty of restaurants and evening activity, and Klosters if you prefer a village pace and direct access to Parsenn and Madrisa. Both areas are high enough to hold snow well through the main season, though conditions always vary, and sunny Engadine days can be very cold in the morning, so pack warm layers alongside sun protection.
