Suvretta House - A Dream Vacation in The Engadine
Location Transportation Traveling by air Traveling by train Zurich Airport has its own train station with regular connections to the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) in Zurich. From Zurich HB, take the SBB Intercity train to Chur. In Chur, you need to change onto the Rhätische Bahn to St. Moritz. This Alpine train journey with its famous switchback tunnels and bridges is an incredible experience and for sure an ideal introduction for your stay in the Upper Engadine. Travel time from Zurich Airport to St. Moritz approximately is 3 hours and 45 minutes. Traveling by car The Swiss roads and highways are of very good quality and well maintained. However, not everybody is comfortable driving over mountain passes, especially in the wintertime. In addition, construction sites on Swiss highways and roads slow traffic down. It takes about 21/2 to 3 hours from Zurich Airport, 3 hours from Milan, Italy and 31/2 hours from Munich, Germany to St. Moritz.

Situated in a unique location, the Suvretta House is 2 km to the west of St. Moritz with magnificent views to the Suvretta-Corviglia winter sport and hiking region. From the front door of the hotel, you have direct access to the Corviglia ski slopes and their own private ski school. The hotel reflects a certain old-world charm of its heritage but with the most modern amenities and is a perfect place for relaxation. The hotel's trademark is the Edwardian facade with its two-neomedieval towers and a baroque central gable. The large guest rooms in traditional alpine style are luxurious and the bathrooms are tiled. Some of the areas are richly grained in Engadine oak paneling. It is since May 1st 1989, that Suvretta House is under management of Helen and Vic Jacob, who run the hotel in accordance with the philosophy of the "Bon family". Helen and Vic greet their guests personally when they arrive and depart and are "on call" around the clock. The three hundred-member work force at the hotel makes sure that guests always have everything they need. Their motto: nothing is impossible. Although up to four hundred guests reside at the hotel in peak periods, there is never a feeling of being a part of a crowd. On the contrary, being at the Suvretta House is most stimulating!
