St. Moritz
St. Moritz, in the Upper Engadine, is one of the long-distance transfers from Geneva, and the train journey involves several changes across Switzerland. A private car turns the trip into one continuous ride: your chauffeur meets you in arrivals and drives you to your hotel, with stops whenever you need them, which is ideal for families, groups and guests with heavy luggage.

Chauffeur's tipOn a five-hour drive, tell your chauffeur when you would like a break; a short stop on the motorway near Zurich or at Chur is easy to arrange.
The route from Geneva Airport to St. Moritz
The journey crosses much of Switzerland. Your chauffeur takes the A1 across the Swiss Plateau via Lausanne and Bern towards Zurich, then the A3 along the shore of the Walensee towards Chur. From Chur, the road climbs through Lenzerheide and over the Julier Pass, which is usually kept open in winter, before descending into the Engadine valley and St. Moritz. When the pass is difficult, your chauffeur can choose another approach, for example through the Prättigau and the Vereina car-carrying train, so you still arrive in comfort.
Arriving in St. Moritz
St. Moritz is open to cars, so you are dropped at the door of your hotel or residence, whether in St. Moritz Dorf, St. Moritz Bad by the lake or a neighbouring Engadine village such as Celerina, Pontresina or Silvaplana. The ski areas of Corviglia and Corvatsch are both a short ride from town, and the frozen lake hosts many winter events.
Practical advice for your transfer
- On such a long drive, the Mercedes S-Class (First Class) or V-Class van offers extra comfort.
- Mountain pass conditions can change in winter; your chauffeur adapts the route if needed.
- Declare skis and the number of bags at booking.
A long transfer is also a good occasion to book your return with AirportsTransfers.ch in advance, so that the five-hour ride back to Geneva Airport fits your flight schedule with a comfortable margin.
