Nestled in the heart of the Engadin valley amidst the magnificent peaks of the Swiss Alps is the popular resort of Saint Moritz. With sunshine almost all year round, the resort has become a destination for the rich and famous.
St. Moritz has a multitude of activities that will keep any visitor occupied. It features miles of ski trails, winter walking paths, snowboarding sites and other fun snow-based activities. If you ever get tired of the white powder (snow), you can always take to the air and take in the beauty of St. Moritz by hang gliding or parasailing. When the cold climes get too much for you, you can head indoors for some tennis, squash or swimming. The resort also features casino, opulent accommodation and excellent restaurants to dine in.
The location is popular and well known, with its history of visitors stretching back as far as 3,000 years. The initial draw to the town was due to its healing springs, which contain mineral water that is strong in carbonated iron. Over the years, the attractions have slowly grown in size and variety. In addition to all the snow-based activities, St. Moritz also features a golf course, biking, rafting, horseback riding, polo and windsurfing among other activities.
With stunning scenery and a wide variety of activities to engage in, St. Moritz is a destination that you will have to spend more than a week in to fully enjoy and absorb. Nevertheless, even if it means staying only one day, it remains a place that you must visit at least once in your lifetime.
