Graceful and sophisticated, St. Moritz sets the standard for luxury ski resorts. Start the day with breakfast overlooking the Alps. Slip into your skis and glide the runs at Corviglia and Piz Nair. And, as the sun dips behind the peaks, indulge in a spot of pampering at your spa retreat.
SKI
Seasoned skiers and novices will be at home in St. Moritz. But if you have an adventurous spirit, try the Cresta Run challenge or head off in search of a glacier route with a private guide. You’ll find black runs aplenty here. Or, when others have retreated for some après ski, enjoy the piste by starlight at enchanting Upper Engadine.
SPORT
For a different perspective on the mountains, take to the skies and leap from the tip of Corviglia on a hang-glider. The views as you soar are breathtaking. For something a touch more romantic, charter a horse-drawn sleigh – gliding across icy Lake St. Moritz into the forest is a magical, not to mention exhilarating, experience.
FOOD & DRINK
Here, the luxury hotels and exclusive restaurants serve serious haute cuisine, accompanied by sweeping alpine views. Enjoy Michelin starred fine dining slope-side, or get dressed up and head to the St. Moritz casino for a cocktail. If you’re after warm and friendly, there are wood-panelled bistros serving pots of meltingly rich fondue, too.
St. Moritz is renowned for its spas, as well as slopes – perfect for resting weary limbs. Treatments here often make use of local, alpine herbs and the natural springs.
