St. Moritz

St. Moritz, nestling at over 1850 m above sea level, in the middle of the lovely lakeland landscape of the Upper Engadine, is one of the world’s most famous holiday resorts. Its dry, sparkling “champagne climate” is legendary, as is its sunshine, reputed to beam down on 322 days a year. St. Moritz is synonymous with chic, elegance, exclusivity and a sophisticated cosmopolitan ambiance.
The resort’s initial fame was due to its therapeutic springs, famous for over 3000 years. Today’s glitz and glamour stems from its role as the birthplace of Alpine winter tourism, which took off in the mid- 1860s, and as a venue for two winter Olympic Games (1928 and 1948), not to mention numerous skiing and bob World Championships. But winter or summer, St. Moritz guarantees exceptional leisure and sporting attractions, cultural highlights, world-class events, excellent restaurants and top-class hotels. One of its must-see attractions is the White Turf, an international horse racing event held on the frozen lake. Definitely a time to see and be seen!
The resort’s fame is now so exceptional that the name St. Moritz has been registered as an internationally protected trade mark – an international symbol of quality.
