An Airbnb pricing strategy is the set of rules that decide what each night is worth: base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events, minimum stays, gap nights, last-minute pricing, length-of-stay discounts and channel markups. The tool applies the rules; the strategy is what makes the tool worth having. Smart Pricing is not a strategy, because it optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate and knows nothing about your events or other channels.
What I plan around in St. Moritz: White Turf horse racing on the frozen lake each February; snow polo and the historic Cresta Run toboggan track; the Engadin Skimarathon and the Corvatsch slopes each March; the Bernina Express and high-altitude Engadin summer hiking. Guests I price for: Affluent international skiers and long-stay chalet parties in winter, plus summer hikers and wellness guests around St. Moritz, Pontresina and Celerina. Where I start: Pricing a premium luxury market where winter and marquee events command the highest rates, sustaining a real summer season, and observing Lex Koller ownership limits and local tourist tax.
I configure PriceLabs or Wheelhouse for St. Moritz hosts with White Turf, Snow Polo, the Gourmet Festival and the Skimarathon as events, weekly stays at Christmas and summer family rules. Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia show the same total, including tourist tax.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in St. Moritz.
I set the base from a real comp set, a minimum that protects your margin and a maximum that stops you underselling a peak night, listing by listing.
I build seasonal profiles and event premiums from the local calendar, so rates move before demand does and not after.
Minimum stays, gap and orphan nights and length-of-stay discounts are set to fill the calendar without discounting the whole month.
I configure OTA markups so your net rate is the same on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and leave time to ask anything about pricing.
“St. Moritz is a luxury winter market with marquee events: White Turf on the frozen lake in February, snow polo and the Engadin Skimarathon. Affluent guests book long chalet stays, and summer is a real second season. Pricing has to match the luxury positioning.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The holiday fortnight sells first and at the highest rate. I hold weekly stays for chalets and stop any discounting, even if dates look open in early December.
Snow Polo, the Gourmet Festival and the three White Turf Sundays keep weekends strong; I price each event weekend individually and keep midweek nights firm for longer ski stays.
The Engadin Skimarathon weekend and spring skiing on Corvatsch bring long stays. I price the marathon weekend above the rest of March and ease rates after Easter.
Many hotels and shops close, so I keep a dignified floor, accept longer stays and avoid heavy discounts that clash with luxury positioning.
Hiking, kitesurfing at Silvaplana and the jazz festival make a real summer season. I sell weekly stays for families and price lake and mountain views well.
The valley shuts down, so I keep floors steady and focus on long stays and repeat guests rather than chasing short bookings.

Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For Airbnb pricing strategy, the first changes are base and minimum prices and the seasonal profile, since those drive most of the revenue in St. Moritz. Include local tourist tax. Next: price Christmas to New Year as the top band.
Busiest in St. Moritz: December to March for luxury skiing and the frozen-lake events, with a July and August alpine summer second season. March to Easter: The Engadin Skimarathon weekend and spring skiing on Corvatsch bring long stays. I price the marathon weekend above the rest of March and ease rates after Easter. July to September: Hiking, kitesurfing at Silvaplana and the jazz festival make a real summer season. I sell weekly stays for families and price lake and mountain views well. For Airbnb pricing strategy, the strategy I build sets seasonal profiles, event premiums and minimum-stay rules around these windows before they open for booking.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, for the quiet months I set the minimum price, last-minute and gap-night rules and length-of-stay discounts so nights fill without dropping below your floor. Quietest in St. Moritz: May and November. October to November: The valley shuts down, so I keep floors steady and focus on long stays and repeat guests rather than chasing short bookings. April to June: Many hotels and shops close, so I keep a dignified floor, accept longer stays and avoid heavy discounts that clash with luxury positioning.
Luxury chalets discounted like standard flats and events ignored. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in St. Moritz, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, i set base prices and comp sets per area, with a separate profile where two parts of St. Moritz behave differently. Pontresina: Quieter and close to the Diavolezza and Bernina Express, so I price it for families and hikers with strong summer stays. St. Moritz Dorf and Celerina and Samedan get their own treatment.
the Engadin Skimarathon and the Corvatsch slopes each March, the Bernina Express and high-altitude Engadin summer hiking and White Turf horse racing on the frozen lake each February are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in St. Moritz. July to September: Hiking, kitesurfing at Silvaplana and the jazz festival make a real summer season. I sell weekly stays for families and price lake and mountain views well.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in St. Moritz, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. St. Moritz sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. July to September: Hiking, kitesurfing at Silvaplana and the jazz festival make a real summer season. I sell weekly stays for families and price lake and mountain views well.
How the listing presents service: ski room, transfers from Samedan airport and concierge help, since St. Moritz guests often value those more than an extra bedroom. For Airbnb pricing strategy, i check this before touching a single rate, because a base price built on the wrong assumption makes every rule worse.
PriceLabs and Wheelhouse strategy sessions are one-time and priced by listing count: $125 for up to 2 listings, $250 for 3 to 6, $370 for 7 to 10 and $480 for 11 to 15, with larger portfolios priced per listing. Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing software is from $17.99 per listing per month. The scope of Airbnb pricing strategy is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in St. Moritz I would start from March to Easter: The Engadin Skimarathon weekend and spring skiing on Corvatsch bring long stays. I price the marathon weekend above the rest of March and ease rates after Easter. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in St. Moritz.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In St. Moritz the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: include local tourist tax.
