St. Moritz is one of the most famous holiday resorts in the world.
The elegant and exclusive resort with its cosmopolitan flair is located at an altitude of 1856 m in the heart of the Upper Engadine lake district.
St. Moritz – the cradle of alpine winter tourism
St. Moritz is considered the cradle of alpine winter tourism (1864) and winter sports (1884) and has hosted two Winter Olympic Games (1928 and 1948) as well as numerous Ski and Bob World Cups and World Championships.
The summer season may seem less glamorous at first glance, but it actually attracts more guests from all over the world than the winter season. St. Moritz offers excellent sports and leisure activities, cultural highlights, diverse shopping opportunities, and world-class events year-round. In addition, it boasts first-class hotels and excellent restaurants.
The sun in St. Moritz is more intense, the climate drier, and the snow cover more reliable than elsewhere. These factors, together with the scenery of the lake region and the cultural attractions of the valley, result in a unique range of attractions in terms of variety and quality.
Alpine and cross-country skiing, the Cresta slope, a bobsleigh track, horse racing on the frozen lake, polo, cricket, golf and curling tournaments, an Olympic ski jump, gourmet and music festivals in winter, mountain biking, inline skating, hiking, windsurfing, ice skating, golf, tennis, sailing, opera, art and culture, national parks in summer – all this is easily accessible.
