Is St. Moritz very expensive?+
It is one of the most luxurious and expensive resorts in Switzerland, especially in peak winter, but summer prices are more affordable, and it is still worthwhile for the world-class scenic railways that start here.
What season should I visit St. Moritz?+
Winter (Dec – Mar) is best for skiing and the events on the frozen lake, while summer (Jun – Sep) is best for hiking, cycling around the lakes and riding the Bernina Express through the lush green scenery.
How are the Glacier Express and Bernina Express different?+
The Glacier Express runs from St. Moritz to Zermatt in about 8 hours through the heart of the Alps, while the Bernina Express crosses the Alps south to Tirano, Italy, passing glaciers and the Brusio spiral viaduct. Both are World Heritage routes.
