- Many municipalities in Switzerland levy a visitor's tax on their guests.
- There is great inconsistency among the municipalities with the highest visitor numbers.
- The most expensive are Saas Fee VS and Montreux.
There is no consensus on visitor taxes in the 80 municipalities with the highest visitor numbers in Switzerland. Arosa GR does not levy a tax, while Saas Fee VS and Montreux charge their guests up to seven francs per night per person. They therefore charge the highest visitor's tax in the country.
Gradations within a resort
In addition to Arosa, Andermatt UR, Celerina/Schlarigna GR, Engelberg OW, Sils im Engadin GR and Spreitenbach AG do not charge guest taxes or charge them at a flat rate, as the online comparison service Comparis.ch announced in a press release on Tuesday.
It is not only the visitor's tax that differs depending on the location. There can be gradations within a location, so that a higher visitor's tax is payable for an overnight stay in a four-star hotel than in a vacation apartment. According to Comparis.ch, the taxes can also vary considerably depending on the canton or region.
