The birthplace of winter tourism in the Alps, St. Moritz has
been seducing celebrities and aristocrats ever since 1864. Nowadays, this
winter wonderland in the sun-drenched Engadine valley is as famous for its
luxury designer boutiques and top-class restaurants as it is for its excellent
skiing and privileged “champagne climate”.
As one of the world’s top winter destinations, the resort is
a frequent host to all kinds of prestigious sporting events, including the
Winter Olympics, the Alpine Skiing World Championship, St. Moritz Polo World
Cup on Snow, or the distinguished White Turf horse races.
The wonderful frozen lakescape and snowy mountain backdrops
surrounding St. Moritz are a huge part of its allure, but this Upper Engadine
town could never have become the glamorous playground that it is today without
its sumptuous 5-star hotels, magnificent spas, and upscale cosmopolitan
atmosphere.
