Info about Samedan LSZS traffic

Hi

Sorry for writing in English.

Which is the best period to come over and have a lot of biz traffic to spot?

Is it better Saturday or Sunday?

 

Thanks.

Stefan

Nobody knows the answer ... , as it allways differ. You should see a lot more traffic on the weekend than on weekdays.

The white turf weekends (7.2/14.2 and 21.2) are exremly busy and around new year it gets pretty crowdy ...

Hi Stefano,

 

although I've only been up there once so far, I seem to recall that the period between Christmas and New Year is quite good, since all the VIPs seem to like spending New Year up there.

 

I imagine that Sat, Dec 26 might be quite good. After all, Saturday still is the main travelling day for holidays/hotel guests, and maybe even some of the rich people follow these itineraries. So maybe the guests who spent Christmas in St. Moritz are leaving on that date, while the New Year guests are arriving.

 

But no-one can tell really. Maybe Sunday is even better :)

Then again, with the fantastic backdrop and the good photo spots, you'll get great shots anyway :)

 

I guess you know the online timetable? Won't help you much, but it might give an impression on when traffic numbers are picking up (maybe they are already :p)

And be sure to check the weather, too. Low clouds will cause diversions (and bad photos :p)

 

Best regards,

 

Tis

 

P.S. These were the movements on Dec 22, 2007, the Saturday before Christmas:
