Close Protection · Swiss Alps / Engadine

Bodyguard in Saint Moritz

Discreet alpine & winter-season protection.

The original alpine resort

Discretion at altitude.

Saint Moritz and the wider Engadine draw royalty, financiers and entertainers to their chalets, grand hotels and winter events. Concentrated wealth, a short intense season and alpine logistics create a distinctive protection profile.

From Suvretta and Badrutt's Palace to Corviglia and the events of the winter season, Algoz arranges protection that lets clients move freely between chalet, slope and town while remaining entirely at ease.

Swiss Licensing (Cantonal Authorisation)

Why protection in Saint-Moritz must be licensed.

In Switzerland, private security is regulated at cantonal level - through the Concordat on private security companies in the French-speaking cantons and equivalent cantonal authorisations elsewhere - requiring company authorisation and vetted personnel.

Algoz coordinates protection in Saint-Moritz exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative cantonally authorised, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across Zurich and Courchevel.

Indicative Investment

What protection in Saint-Moritz costs.

As a guide, professional close protection in Switzerland is, in 2026, typically EUR 650–900 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover, with the final rate confirmed on enquiry and no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.

All operational execution is performed exclusively by licensed third-party partners holding the necessary local permits (e.g. the applicable Swiss cantonal private-security concordat for Graubünden and the Engadine).

Armed services require a minimum 30-day lead time for authorisation, which may be refused. All activities comply with UAE laws and RAKEZ regulations.

Bodyguard in Saint Moritz - Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Algoz rather than hiring a local security agency in Saint Moritz directly?

Because vetting an unknown local security agency in Saint Moritz yourself is where the real risk lies. Standards, licensing and discipline vary widely between firms, and a principal cannot tell a properly licensed, reliable operator from an underqualified one until something goes wrong in the field, when it is already too late. Algoz knows the Saint Moritz market in Switzerland: we have already worked with these providers, vetted them and kept only the best. Engage us and we select the right team for your profile, brief them under NDA and supervise them closely against our own standard throughout - so you gain genuine local knowledge and full licensing without gambling on an untested agency. One accountable point of contact owns the outcome, and you are never left managing an unfamiliar vendor in a foreign city.

Is it legal to hire a bodyguard in Switzerland?

Yes. Private security in Switzerland is authorised at cantonal level (the Concordat in French-speaking cantons and equivalent rules elsewhere). Algoz coordinates only authorised Swiss operatives, discreetly and under NDA.

Do you protect families during the Saint Moritz winter season?

Yes. Licensed officers and secure transport cover chalets, slopes, events and travel for visiting principals and families, with multilingual coordination and discreet, low-profile delivery.

Do you cover private chalets and grand hotels?

Yes. We provide residential security for chalets and coverage at grand hotels across Saint Moritz and the Engadine, including access control and overnight presence.

Can you secure season events?

Yes. We provide discreet protection and access management for polo, racing, galas and private celebrations through the winter season.

Can you provide family and ski-day protection?

Yes. We provide low-profile cover for families on and off the slopes, shaped around daily routines.

Are your operatives licensed in Switzerland?

Yes. All operational execution is carried out by partners holding the required Swiss cantonal private-security authorisation, fluent in English, German and Italian with further languages on request.

Can the client choose the bodyguard they prefer?

In many cases, yes. Given sufficient notice, and provided the request can be accommodated without compromising safety, the client may select the profile of the operative, and in most engagements is offered this choice. It cannot, however, override our professional security assessment, which always takes precedence.
