A Guide to a Kosher Summer in St. Moritz and Maloja
St. Moritz, the famous luxury destination in the Swiss Alps, is known among observant travelers thanks to Maloja Palace - a fully kosher hotel in the nearby village of Maloja, operating in summer only.
Seasonality - the most important thing to know
Maloja Palace does not operate year-round - the kosher season is typically summer (July-August). It's essential to confirm exact dates with the hotel before booking flights.
What the hotel offers
A historic luxury hotel on the shore of a clear lake, with daily gourmet meals, a beit midrash and minyanim - stunning Alpine scenery alongside strict religious observance.
If your timing lines up with the operating season, this is a rare chance to experience Alpine Switzerland without any compromise on kashrut.
Stay in the kosher area of St. Moritz
St. Moritz does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Maloja Palace (the seasonal kosher hotel listed on the site) is the anchor - book somewhere near it rather than picking a random part of the area.
