ST. MORITZ

THE RESORT
St. Moritz is more than just a holiday resort. It was also the birthplace of Alpine winter tourism and has twice hosted the Winter Olympics.
It has acquired a glamorous reputation with the world famous Cresta Run and winter polo events among other things. Jet set night life and Michelin star restaurants can be found but it also has something to offer most discerning skiers if you delve further.. Guests from all over the world appreciate the modern Alpine lifestyle, characterised by top-class restaurants that can satisfy gourmet demands even by the side of the slopes, hotels that set standards in every category, and events of international calibre. The Via Serlas guarantees great shopping in a small space, though you can also find local specialities like the famous Engadine nut tart just around the corner.
