St. Moritz might just be the world’s most stylish winter destination – but it’s also much more than that. It is the host of two Winter Olympics, a place that captured the imaginations of Giovanni Segantini, Friedrich Nietzsche and Hermann Hesse, and a meeting place for the international art and culture scene. Let us help you discover St. Moritz in all its facets.
It was as the result of a bet that the foundation stone was laid for winter tourism in St. Moritz over 150 years ago. Today, the town is one of the largest and most varied snow sports resorts in the Alpine region, with 87 World Cup-standard pistes and downhill runs. St. Moritz offers endless skiing fun for all ages and stages across the four ski areas of Corviglia/Piz Nair, Corvatsch/Furtschellas, Diavolezza and Lagalb.
Our partner Ski Service Corvatsch offers everything you need for the slopes from our on-site ski shop. Choose from modern equipment for hire and sale with the professional guidance of the Ski Service Corvatsch experts. Once in the mountains, the Red Legends ski school is on hand for whenever you need it – for private lessons, group lessons, snowboard lessons or one-on-one cross-country tuition. Their talented teachers will help you make a success of your first hours and days on the slopes.
The Upper Engadin is a treasure chest of natural wonders just waiting to be discovered. Whatever activity you’re craving – whether snow hiking, ski touring, or ice skating on Lake St. Moritz and Lake Staz – our Outdoor Butler will be pleased to help you make the most of it. And speaking of ice: why not take the plunge this winter with a spot of ice bathing in Lake St. Moritz? We can promise that the adrenaline rush is truly invigorating.
St. Moritz is home to the largest art gallery in the Alps as well as to the Segantini Museum, Green Art, the Mili Weber Haus and numerous other private art collections and galleries. In addition, it hosts a prestigious calendar of annul events including the St. Moritz Gourmet Festival (with guest chefs from all over the world), the Snow Polo World Cup, the Cresta Run and, of course, White Turf, the famous horse race on the frozen Lake St. Moritz.
We believe that people should never stop playing. To celebrate this philosophy, we've curated a special selection of activities aimed at experiencing the Engadin winter through play. Learn new skills and crafts, listen to fascinating stories and find out more about centuries-old traditions as part of our Moving Mountains holiday programme.
After an adrenaline-packed day in the mountains, nothing beats a spot of relaxation – and where better to do it than over the three floors of the Carlton Spa? Float in the pool as you soak up views of the spectacular snow-covered mountains, then select an individually tailored treatment from our holistic spa menu to soothe weary muscles and prepare you for the next day’s action.
