How you arrive
- Samedan, St. Moritz●SMV · LSZS
- LuganoLUG · LSZA
- ZurichZRH · LSZH
Samedan sits at 1,707 metres, making it the highest airport in Europe, and its mountain approach demands specific crew training, with winter slots filling early. It is just ten minutes from St. Moritz itself, making it the natural choice for most private arrivals. If Samedan is closed by weather, or if the aircraft is too large for its runway, travellers divert to Lugano or Zurich, then complete the journey by helicopter, around 30 to 40 minutes, or by car, about three hours.
When to go
The main season runs from December to March, for skiing and the winter events on the frozen lake, with a second window in July and August for the Engadin summer. Because Samedan's winter slots fill early, booking well ahead matters most for the December to March period.
