Eruv

No eruv

Starguest states there is no eruv in St. Moritz. None found online as of Nov 2026 for Davos, Arosa, Pontresina or Klosters-Serneus (not listed in the Chabad Switzerland Summer 2026 guide or the SIG guide, and searches on 1 Nov 2026 found none), so treat all as no eruv and carry nothing outside. Ask the Davos shuls to confirm.

Where to stay

About 0.3 km to the Mosbacher minyan and 0.4 km to Etania (map estimate). Guests report: one undated Google review says doors do not lock automatically and you must carry 'a key' (type not stated: ask for a metal key); no air conditioning.

What locals would tell you

  • Seasons: this is a seasonal scene. Summer (after Tisha B'Av to Elul) is the big one. Winter 2026-27 as of 1 Nov 2026: Kempinski St. Moritz (Starguest) Chanukah 4-20 Dec 2026 only; Levin's Metropol Arosa 20 Dec-28 Mar per its page (year not stated: confirm). No kosher hotel or minyan dates found for Davos or the Engadin this winter; Davos Etania runs Pesach to Sukkot. Starguest lists no January, Purim or Pesach 2027 week yet (earlier winters had both). Outside these dates call before you go; I found no year-round synagogue in St. Moritz.
  • Book months ahead. Hotel Cresta (Davos) +41 81 511 22 90, Starguest +44 20 8458 7708, Levin's Metropol +41 81 378 81 81. Davos apartments with kitchens: Solaria, Cresta apartments (+41 81 511 51 18), Mrs. Schmid +41 81 416 12 66. The weekly-updated minyan list is at switzerlandchabad.com/media/pdf/1378/HDQC13780566.pdf.
  • Which village: the Etania, Hotel Cresta and Mosbacher sites in Davos sit within about 0.5 km of each other, midway between Davos Platz station and Davos Dorf (roughly 1-1.5 km each way, map estimate). In St. Moritz, Dorf (shops) and Bad (Kempinski, Via Ludains minyan) are about 1 km apart. Pontresina, Maloja, Arosa and Klosters-Serneus (Hotel Bad Serneus, 26 Jul-16 Aug 2026, +32 33 011 600) are separate resorts.
  • Shabbat meals: Zurich caterers deliver on request (Chabad Zurich page: anywhere in Switzerland, please inquire). Oineg Schabes lists Davos and St. Moritz (Shabbes package for 2 CHF 180; dinners for 2 CHF 70; +41 78 745 89 07 per its own site), plus Schalom Catering +41 44 810 40 00 (a reviewer used it for an Alps Shabbos), Cohen +41 78 880 19 29, Fein & Schein +41 76 340 74 10, Tasty Delights +41 76 735 41 58. None names a hechsher or delivery terms online: ask for the certificate and the Friday delivery time before paying.
  • Shabbat gear: Davos hotplates can be rented locally (SIG guide). Shabbat fridge sensor kits: order ahead from benjamin.halonbrenner@gmail.com. At the Kempinski, ask before Shabbat for the magnetic door-lock override and Shabbat toilet paper. Starguest states there is no eruv in St. Moritz, and none was found online for Davos.
  • Shops close Sunday (Coop and Migros Davos, Coop St. Moritz). Davos Coop closes 20:00 Friday and 18:00 Saturday, SPAR Davos-Dorf 19:00 Friday. Kosher items on shelves are mostly summer stock. Buy bread, wine and basics in Zurich before the train (see Zurich listings; shops there close early Friday).
  • Travel: ZRH to St. Moritz is about 2 h 45 min by car or 3 h 40 min by train (Starguest). Do not plan Bernina or Glacier Express rides or any transfer on Shabbat; arrive Thursday or early Friday in winter. Rhaetian Railway +41 81 288 65 65; tourist offices St. Moritz +41 81 837 33 33, Davos +41 81 415 21 21.
  • Altitude: Davos is about 1,560 m and St. Moritz about 1,800 m. Allow a day to adjust before long Shabbat walks. Local guidance: SIG Likrat Public mediators work in Davos and the Engadin in summer (+41 43 305 07 65); follow house rules on waste, dogs and flat handover.
  • Winter food and Chabad: the St. Moritz-Bad bakery (Via dal Bagn 4) stocks IGfKL pareve kosher bread by default 15 Dec-15 Jan and 1 Jul-15 Sep, otherwise on advance order; Davos SPAR and Coop kosher shelves are July-August stock. I found no Chabad centre in Graubünden on the Chabad Switzerland list (not found online as of Nov 2026); the nearest listed is Chabad Zurich, +41 44 201 0770.
  • Kempinski winter weeks: TripAdvisor reviews of the Starguest programme date from Dec 2022, Jan 2023, Mar 2023 and Jan 2025, so winter weeks usually run even though none is listed for 2027 on 1 Nov 2026. Ask Starguest +44 20 8458 7708 before booking a flight.
  • Levin's Metropol Arosa has no on-site parking: a Google reviewer (undated) says the paid car park is about a 7-minute walk away and the drive up is long, so arrive and park well before Shabbat, or take the train from Chur.

Seen in older guides, checked Nov 2026: Hotel Edelweiss, St. Moritz (founded 1883, 'world's oldest kosher hotel', shul and mikveh, Dec-Mar): closed per New York Jewish Travel Guide (Feb 2026) and Juedische Allgemeine. Not the non-kosher Hotel Edelweiss in Sils Maria. · Etania as a kosher hotel: the former sanatorium closed in 2000. The building now holds the Etania shul, the mikveh and the Haus Zentrum hostel. · Chabad house in St. Moritz, Davos or anywhere in Graubünden: not found online as of Nov 2026 (checked the Chabad Switzerland centre list - Zurich, Basel, Bern/Biel, Lucerne, Zug, Geneva, Lugano - the Summer 2026 guide, Google and winter searches); ask Chabad Zurich on +41 44 201 07 70 · Year-round or public mikveh in St. Moritz: not found online as of Nov 2026 (the only one found was at the closed Hotel Edelweiss). Starguest's programme page lists a men's mikvah 7:30-8:00 daily during its weeks but does not state where (see mikvaos); ask Starguest on +44 20 8458 7708 · Levin's Kosher Derby Davos (Promenade 139): unconfirmed, not known to be closed. Hotel site shows only 4 Jul-4 Sep 2024 dates (supervision Agudas Achim Zurich) and it is not on the Chabad Summer 2026 list; no later dates found online as of Nov 2026. Ask Levin's (+41 81 378 81 81) · Kempinski Purim week: switzerlanding (2023) listed 25 Feb-5 Mar, and a 2021 report says a January week and a Purim week usually run; Starguest lists neither for 2027 on 1 Nov 2026 (not found online; ask Starguest on +44 20 8458 7708)
