St Moritz Switzerland

" "

St Moritz, nestled between some the highest peaks of the Swiss Alps, is a chic, four-season destination. Located in the Canton of Grisons, the setting for Swiss holidays is surrounded by a lovely outdoor scene including mountain lakes and an average of 322 days of sunshine every year.

When you arrive in St Moritz in Switzerland and the beautiful Engadin Valley, you'll be surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere and an upscale array of visitor amenities. The German- and Romansh-speaking resort town has been mentioned in James Bond movies, hosts major international sports competitions, and attracts a cosmopolitan mix of visitors in winter and beyond.

When enjoying your St Moritz vacation in the winter, you'll find a wide array of outdoor experiences. With more than 200 miles of marked ski runs, steep slopes, and a natural ice bob run, there's no surprise that the St Moritz resort has twice hosted the winter Olympics. Today's visitors also thrill to toboggan rides, a permanent half-pipe, and tandem parachute jumps. Cross-country skiing and winter walking trails are scattered throughout the valley, presenting a challenging workout, a chance to clear your mind, and the opportunity to breathe in plenty of fresh mountain air.

During the warmer months of the year, St Moritz visitors still have plenty of ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Summer travelers enjoy hiking, climbing, tennis, golfing, windsurfing, and horseback riding, whether they're seasoned experts or trying something new on their vacations to the St Moritz resort.

While St Moritz in Switzerland is primarily known for its scenic setting and outdoor recreation, there's more than the scenery here. You can add wellness treatments, museum visits, art galleries, and shopping to your vacation packages. Museums throughout the Engadin Valley preserve and share the work of contemporary artists, the home once rented by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, the painter Giovanni Segantini, coffee, historic houses, and winter sports. With plentiful options for shopping and dining, visitors will turn a day of exploring into well-rounded vacations after the slopes, museums, and other attractions have closed for the day.
