What is the complimentary cable car and bus pass?
The complimentary cable car and bus pass is a summer perk for guests of Hotel Schweizerhof St. Moritz staying at least two consecutive nights. It gives you access to cable cars and regional buses so you can reach high-altitude viewpoints, hiking starts, and lakeside promenades without additional ticket purchases for those services.
Why it matters: in the Alps, efficient public transport and mountain lifts can transform your itinerary—cutting approach times, expanding the range of trails you can consider in a single day, and letting you focus on the experience rather than logistics.
