Switzerland Hotels

We expect most attendees will book a Sunday morning flight (6/15/25) to return to the US unless adding extra time in Europe.

Most return flights to the US are in the morning, meaning that for most, one night in a Zurich hotel is needed.
* If you NEED to catch a flight home on Saturday morning, there is a Friday night train leaving Pontresina at 7:02pm - arriving to Zurich Airport station at 10:44pm. (you would miss the last dinner).  

For most of us, we recommend the train departing on Saturday on the Bernina Express at 10:27am  for arrival at the airport / airport hotels at 2:12 pm.
Note: The earliest possible departure from Pontresina on Saturday is at 5:42am and 7:02am arriving at Zurich airport at 9:44am and 10:44am. (only suggested for airplane departures from 1pm onward).

There are several very good hotels right near the Zurich airport with direct transfers to the airport and a 10-minute train ride into the center of Zurich. 

Our hosts recommend these hotels for ANY added time in Zurich.  Pictures and website Links are shared below.
