Flying in from overseas

What travelers from the US, Canada, Australia and Asia need to sort out before a long-haul trip to St. Moritz.

Flight time & jet lag: Most long-haul flights land in Europe early morning. Plan a light first day — a walk and an outdoor lunch beat a museum. This 3-day plan keeps day 1 gentle so you can push through to a local bedtime.
Entry requirements: US, Canadian, Australian, Japanese, Korean and Singaporean passport holders enter the Schengen Area visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180, but must register for ETIAS online before departure. Passport should be valid 3+ months past your return date.
Phone & data (eSIM): Skip roaming charges: install a Europe-wide eSIM (Airalo, Holafly or your carrier's international day pass) before you leave home. One eSIM covers the whole trip, including day trips across borders.
Power adapters: Type J outlets — a standard EU adapter is a loose fit. Bring a Type J or universal adapter.
Money & cards: Tap-to-pay works nearly everywhere in St. Moritz. Use a card with no foreign transaction fee, always choose to be charged in the local currency, and carry about 20 in small bills for markets and restrooms.
Airport to city: Book nothing in advance for the airport run — St. Moritz has a train or express bus that beats a taxi on both price and time. The transport section below has the official operator and ticket app.
