Why ski St Moritz?

St Moritz invented the concept of the winter sports holiday in the 1860s and it hasn't stopped being extraordinary since. This is where royalty, oligarchs and celebrities come to ski — and the infrastructure matches the clientele. The skiing itself covers 350km across four mountains and is excellent for intermediates, but it's the combination of world-class cuisine, the legendary Cresta Run toboggan course, and the Engadin Valley setting that makes St Moritz unique.
