Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in St. Moritz?

An Airbnb revenue forecast is a month-by-month projection of occupancy, ADR and revenue for one property, set beside comparable listings. Buyers use it to test a purchase, operators use it to check an arbitrage lease, and hosts use it to set targets for a live listing.

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 revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in St. Moritz.

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on St. Moritz

“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.”

How I price it

My St. Moritz calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. Late December to early JanuaryPeak

    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.

  2. Mid-January to FebruaryPeak

    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.

  3. March to EasterHigh

    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.

  4. April to JuneLow

    Many hotels and shops close, so I keep a dignified floor, accept longer stays and avoid heavy discounts that clash with luxury positioning.

  5. July to SeptemberHigh

    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.

  6. October to NovemberLow

    The valley shuts down, so I keep floors steady and focus on long stays and repeat guests rather than chasing short bookings.

Where I price differently in St. Moritz

St. Moritz Dorf
Close to the shops, Badrutt's Palace and the lake events, so I price event weekends highest here and hold firm holiday weekly stays.
Pontresina
Quieter and close to the Diavolezza and Bernina Express, so I price it for families and hikers with strong summer stays.
Celerina and Samedan
Near the Cresta Run, the airport and the Inn valley, I price slightly below the centre and sell longer stays for winter and summer.

What I check first in St. Moritz

  • Whether the property is a permitted holiday rental under the second-home rules and the commune's regulations, because Lex Weber and local restrictions change what a property can do.
  • 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.
  • Whether the event weekends are loaded with the right dates each year, because White Turf, Snow Polo and the Skimarathon move slightly and the premium is lost if missed.
