Holidays to St Moritz are all about mixing classic alpine charm with a dash glamour and glitz.

Style among the summits

Nicknamed ‘Europe’s highest luxury mile’, Via Serlas is the fashionable heart of town, and the street ticks off all the biggest names in Italian fashion. Window-shop the latest looks, then keep the stylish theme going with coffee or cocktails at the bar in the 5-star Kulm Hotel, which has been high society’s go-to hang out in St Moritz for over 150 years.

Spas and swim spots

From natural springs to glacial lakes, water’s front and centre here. Ovaverva Spa is in the centre of town and has front-row views of peaks from its outdoor pool. Or for a swim surrounded by nature, take a stroll to nearby Lake Staz where there’s a little beach, jetty and a restaurant – spot on for a leisurely afternoon in the sun.

Snap-worthy scenery

With a lake on the doorstep and the Engadin mountains all around, St Moritz serves up enough photo opps to fill an album. And there’s no shortage of ways to take it all in. Go viewpoint to viewpoint on an e-bike tour, sit back on a horse-drawn carriage ride, cast off in a rowing boat or hop on a lift up to a summit lookout.
