    St. Moritz is one of the most famous holiday destinations in the world and twice hosted the Winter Olympics, and is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.

    St. Moritz first became famous because of the mineral springs, which were discovered 3,000 years ago and established the town as a summer spa resort.

    St Moritz is a stronghold of European royalty, the wealthy and the famous who migrate here with the snow every winter to see and be seen in the pages of upmarket gossip magazines. The town is surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery and bordered by the sparkling waters of Lake Moritz.

    Famous across the globe as the world’s glitziest ski resort, St Moritz is the home of downhill ski-ing. In winter the lake freezes over and becomes a glamorous paradise for curling, ice skating, horse racing and polo, while the ski-ing is some of the best in the world.
