Normally guests should request a pick up with their train arrival information by e-mail though for some reason, I had forgotten to do until the day before my train journey and by then the hotel did not seem to receive it in time. While there is a shuttle van to ferry passengers to and from the hotel, the driver picked me up in a Range Rover Evoque . It was a 15 minute drive to the neighouring town of Surlej where Nira Alpina is located at. Nira Alpina hotel exterior That is right, Nira Alpina is not exactly located in St. Moritz proper.
