For the lifestyle: St Moritz

It goes without saying that St Moritz is one of the most famous and highly regarded ski resorts in the world. This glamorous destination has been a regular haunt for the rich and famous for over a hundred years. From A-list film stars to royalty, anyone who is anyone has been photographed going down the slopes or sipping champagne here.

However, the decadence and exclusivity shows just one side of St Moritz, as it is also a fantastic place to ski. There are around 354km of pistes divided between four ski sectors, and lots of lifts to take you to the top. There is plenty for both beginners and experts alike, but it is worth noting that the huge range of long, gradual slopes are perfect for intermediate skiers.

St Moritz is also the home of some historic winter sports landmarks. The St Moritz-Celerina Olympic Bobrun is the world’s only natural ice-track and the oldest bob run in history. Only for the brave, thrill seekers get to ride between the pilot and brakeman, reaching speeds of up to 135 km/h. The track is open for guest trips* from late December to early March.

*Note that this activity is at additional cost and there is a minimum age restriction of 16 years
