Private Transfer from Milan
& Malpensa to St. Moritz
Door-to-door Mercedes with an English-speaking driver from Malpensa, Linate or Bergamo arrivals, or your Milan hotel, to your hotel or chalet in St. Moritz. About 3 hours over the Maloja Pass, open all winter, from €575 per car.
Malpensa or Milan to St. Moritz by Private Car: About 3 Hours
A private transfer from Milan to St. Moritz covers about 180 km and takes around 3 hours from central Milan or Linate, about 3 h 15 from Malpensa and about 2 h 45 from Bergamo. Many of our winter guests never go into Milan at all: the driver meets them inside arrivals at the airport and drives straight along Lake Como, through Chiavenna and over the Maloja Pass to the door of their hotel. The price is for the whole car, not per person, and includes fuel, motorway tolls, the Swiss vignette and parking.
By train the trip from Malpensa means a Malpensa Express into Milan, a regional train to Tirano and the Bernina Express to St. Moritz: beautiful, but around six hours with three changes and your ski bags on every platform. By car it is three hours with no changes, and in winter our drivers know when the Maloja and the Bernina are open and how long the snow makes each road.
Badrutt’s Palace, the Kulm, the Carlton, Suvretta House and most hotels in St. Moritz, Celerina and Pontresina have a drive-up entrance, so we drop you at the door and the hotel takes care of the luggage. Check your price and book online →

Which Airport for St. Moritz: Malpensa, Linate, Bergamo or Zurich?
The closest international airports to St. Moritz are the three Milan airports, all about 2 h 45 to 3 h 15 by car, and Zurich, about 3 h 15. Malpensa has the most long-haul and international flights, Linate the most connections within Europe, and Bergamo the low-cost flights and the shortest drive. Engadin Airport in Samedan, five minutes from St. Moritz, takes only private jets and helicopters. For most guests flying in from abroad, Malpensa with a private car straight to the hotel is the simplest option.
The Maloja, the Bernina and the Swiss Border in Winter
The Maloja Pass is open all year and is the usual winter route from Milan; after heavy snowfall the canton may require chains for a few hours, and our cars are equipped for it. The Bernina Pass via Tirano is the alternative. The route crosses into Switzerland at Castasegna: Switzerland is in the Schengen area but not in the EU, so customs checks can happen and every passenger needs a valid passport or national ID card. Goods above the Swiss duty-free allowance must be declared.
Practical Tips: High Season, Ski Bags and the Drive Back
Between Christmas and New Year and on February weekends the Engadin is at its busiest, so book early and tell us how many ski bags you travel with. For an afternoon flight from Malpensa we usually suggest leaving St. Moritz about six hours before take-off, and about five and a half hours for Linate or Bergamo.
