St. Moritz

Jet-setters head to the world-famous ski resort for Christmas holidays and to experience probably the highest density of sheer wealth and luxury you can find in one place. Aside from its worldly appeal, the scenery of the Engadine valley with its frozen lakes and imposing Alps is stunning. It’s an ideal setting to pursue one of many sporting activities, to recharge or simply enjoy the nightlife.

Essentials

01 Before you arrive, be sure to book a table and take in the scene at Hanselmann.
02 Order your bedlinen in advance from Ebneter & Biel.
03 For a movie with an old-fashioned boozy interval, book a seat  at Kino Scala.
04 Work up an appetite with a walk to Pontresina. It takes about 90 minutes.
05 Your first night in town wouldn’t be complete without pulling up a chair under one of the stag’s heads and sipping a glass of champagne in the Badrutt’s Palace bar.
