Finding a hotel near St. Moritz train station
Blingraham is planning a trip starting with the Glacier Express from St. Moritz and asks about the train station location and nearby hotel options. They want to ensure they have a comfortable place to stay close to the train station.
- St. Moritz and Graubünden refer to the same place; the train station is at Plazza de la Staziun, 7500 St. Moritz.
- The Hotel Waldhaus am See is a good option near the station, but book early due to high season.
- For train travel from Zermatt to Vienna, using Zurich is more direct than going via Geneva.

I’m beginning the Glacier Express in St Moritz but I’m not sure where the train station is? Is St Moritz Graubuenden the same as St Moritz? I want to find a hotel near the train station. Thank you for your help!

Hello BLINGRAHAM,
Yes, St. Moritz, is the same as St. Moritz, Graubünden. Graubünden is the canton where St.Moritz lies. There is only one train station in St.Moritz and its physical address is Plazza de la Staziun, 7500 St. Moritz.

Thank you so much!
Hi BLINGRAHAM,
There are all sorts of hotels in St Moritz, ranging from very high priced to, well, just high priced. I stayed at a three star hotel just outside the station. About a hundred, (maybe a bit more) meters from the station. It’s perched upon a hill, on the lake front, and it overlooks both the lake and the village. It’s called Hotel Waldhaus am See. Just walk across the street and a little road across the water and it’s right there up the hill. (The entrance is on the left up that hill, then bear right into what would seem to be the back door.) The only problem you may run into is that it is right smack dab, in the middle high season now and you may have trouble booking.
I looked at Booking. com and found two hotels under $1000.00 (US) for 20/Feb/23. One is the one I mentioned and the other is the Soldanella. A bit further into town. As I previously mentioned, it’s both high season And you have a third person. Most hotels will charge for two rooms in that case, unless you find a suite (more expensive) or a chalet. You can look through Trip Advisor, Booking. com, Expedia, etc. Or browse through the link Yolanda attached for this site. I hope this helps, and best of luck with your search and trip.

Thanks for your input Danielsan!
Bless you for your help! I booked the hotel you recommended – Waldhaus am See – so we are good there. It looks like since I’m hoping to take a night train from Prague and then return via Vienna/Prague that a Eurail Global Pass makes the most sense and covers the Glacier Express. I found a few overnight trains that go from Prague to Switzerland but I’m not sure the best route to St Moritz. Thank you for your guidance!
Also getting from Zermatt to Vienna? Is Geneva the best route, maybe staying overnight in a Geneva so we aren’t on a train so long? Or some other fun connecting area where we can get an overnight to Vienna?
I just learned we are booking overnight train travel too late because they require a paper ticket to be mailed. Hopefully they don’t sell out? I can buy tickets when we get to Prague…
Hello BLINGRAHAM,
For a train journey from Zermatt to Vienna, via Geneva is not the most direct route, you would be adding additional time and a few more train changes. Via Zurich to Vienna would be the more direct route, all up approximately 14 hours 15 minutes. A good idea is use the timetable link and key your locations of choice and this will give you an idea of the routes and timings . This can also help plan your train route, from Prague to St.Moritz.
Of course should you wish to visit Geneva, there is lots to do here, likewise if you opt with the via Zurich route.
Kind regards,
Yolana
Hi BLINGRAHAM,
You’re welcome, I’m glad you were able to book something. It’s a beautiful hotel. (You can see it from almost anywhere in town.) Again, when you leave the station, over the water, bear left up the hill. (The hotel should be straight ahead.) I went right up the hill and to the right, and it’s actually the back of it. (Some nice sitting areas there with a great view of the lake and town.) So bear left and the entrance will be on the right.
As far as you question about Prague, I shall defer to Yolanda’s post. Thank you Yolanda. Only that, yes, Geneva is in the opposite direction from Prague. Again, I hope you have a nice journey through Europe.

Thanks, I was looking for a hotel near Moritz
Hi Kiebry96,
St Moritz is a fairly small resort. Most hotels are easily accessible from the train station. You can find a list here: http://www.myswissalps.com/stmoritz/hotels
