"As the mountain playground for the uber-rich, we're all about luxury skiing, luxury dining and the most fashionable freeze-wear fashion."

but more realistically

There is a still a definite whiff of wealth to this Swiss Alp resort, but an increase in accessible tourist options means that although it still looks a million dollars you don't necessarily need to be a millionaire to enjoy it.

the vibe

Having been touted as the elite Swiss resort for decades, the ambience here is distinctly cool. This is snow sophistication at its best.

the natives

As a definitive resort town, which boasts far more renters than full time residents, expect to find an eclectic mix of local aristocracy, hard-core snow bunnies, outdoor enthusiasts and the odd celebrity.

the weather

Despite being one of Switzerland's most prolific ski resorts, St Moritz averages 322 days of sunshine each year, making it a perfect all-year round getaway.

the local speciality

One word: Fondue. You really can't visit the Swiss Alps without sampling this mouthwateringly good national dish. You simply won't find it done better anywhere else in the world.

the celebrity

A home-from-home for many a celebrity. Tennis ace Boris Becker opted to use the breathtaking scenery as the backdrop for his wedding to Dutch model Lilly Karssenberg.
