Destination Info
St Moritz is located in the southern part of the Swiss Alps, near the Italian border, in the heart of the Engadine valley. It is the only town of Switzerland to have hosted the Winter Olympics and it is recognized as the birthplace of winter tourism and modern Alpine sports. The overall ski area is divided into three separate sectors, Corviglia at 3057m, Corvatsch at 3300m and Diavolezza-Lagalb at 2978m. All three areas are connected between themselves by bus and train, but not by lift or pistes, and each has their own charm and offers a completely different ski experience.
In comparison to other winter destinations, St Moritz has a more prestige vibe to it and it is no wonder why some say it is ‘the winter playground of the wealthy’. In the town center, you will find the picturesque lanes boasting with a diverse array of fashion stores and boutiques, showcasing some of the world’s best brands of clothes, jewelry etc.
Many don’t know that before St Moritz rose up to be an exclusive ski resort, it was primarily known for its healing mineral springs. The towns spa traditions have been practiced for centuries and your winter experience would not be complete without a day of pampering and relaxation at one of the many wellness establishments.

Arguably one of the most famous nightclubs in town, Kings Club gives you the opportunity to dance the night away, listening to world class DJ sets and socializing with international jet setters.
