Key points at a glance
For residents of Saint-Moritz (roughly 4’994 residents (postal code 7500)) (canton of Graubünden), this local guide sums up what matters for "Mortgage and financing": aligning contracts, taxes and pension planning sensibly under Swiss law. Our approach is explanatory and neutral — it complements personal professional or tax advice but does not replace it.
In Switzerland some rules are cantonal (tax rates, deductions, allowances), others federal (LAMal, federal law). In Saint-Moritz, your actual circumstances — renting or owning, employment status, household size, vehicles, cross-border income — therefore shape risk and priorities far more than the postal code. The nearest municipalities — Celerina/Schlarigna (2 km), Silvaplana (4 km), Pontresina (5 km) — each have their own local page as well. The sections below list the key points to check.

Mortgage and financing in Saint-Moritz: rate, affordability, protection
Anyone buying or renewing a mortgage in Saint-Moritz operates within the usual framework: equity (at least 20%, part of it "hard" equity), an affordability calculation with a notional rate and mandatory amortisation of the second mortgage. Whether a fixed-rate mortgage, SARON or a combination suits you better depends on rate expectations, risk capacity and planning horizon.
Financing goes hand in hand with protection: depending on the situation, lenders require or recommend building insurance, loss-of-earnings or death-risk cover. For tax, mortgage interest is generally deductible — and the trade-off between direct amortisation and indirect amortisation via pillar 3a should be worked out over ten to fifteen years.
