OVERNIGHT STAYS & CAMPERVANS

For St. Moritz, compare a booked room or rental around St. Moritz with a designated campsite that accepts your vehicle and winter dates. Choose your base around the daily mountain journey and the power, water and indoor facilities you need.

Compare lodging options ↗

Book a designated overnight place for your vehicle and dates. Day parking does not provide permission to camp.

🐕 PET POLICY

Historical pet-policy guidance.

Dogs not permitted on ski slopes or most lift facilities. The frozen lake and village welcome leashed dogs. Many hotels accept dogs with advance notice—the grand hotels have long histories of accommodating guests' pets. Dog-friendly cross-country trails available.

Confirm rooms, fees and access rules with the property or resort before you travel. A pet-friendly area does not mean pets can use ski slopes or lifts.
