St. Moritz – the birthplace of alpine winter tourism
St. Moritz was the birthplace of alpine winter tourism (1864) and winter sports (1884), the site of two Olympic winter games (1928 and 1948) as well as many ski and bobsleigh world cups. The summer season might at first seem less glamorous, but it actually attracts more guests from around the world than the winter season. Throughout the whole year St. Moritz guarantees outstanding sports and leisure opportunities, cultural highlights, a variety of shopping opportunities, and world-class events. And on top of that: first-rate hotels and outstanding restaurants.The St. Moritz sun is more intense, the “Champagne climate” dryer, and the snow conditions more reliable than elsewhere. These elements, together with the lake region’s landscape and the valley’s cultural attraction, offer a range of attractions which are unique in their breadth and quality. Alpine and Nordic cross-country skiing, the Cresta run, a bobsleigh run, horse races on the frozen lake, polo, cricket, golf and curling tournaments, an Olympic ski jump, gourmet and music festivals in the winter, mountain biking, rollerblading, hiking, windsurfing, ice skating, golf, tennis, sailing, opera, art and culture, national parks in the summer—all within easy reach.
