St. Moritz

St. Moritz sits at 1,800 metres in the Engadin, a high valley with a dry, bright climate that is closer to the Alps' southern side than to the rest of Switzerland. It averages over 300 sunny days a year, and the light at that altitude in February is the reason people keep coming back.

It is the birthplace of alpine winter tourism and it shows: the cross-country network across the frozen lake is among the best in Europe, and the resort supports everything from gentle to serious. Summer brings hiking, riding and one of the highest golf courses in the Alps.
