St.Moritz
ST.MORITZ - BEST RESTAURANTS
Introduction
St.Moritz is located in the Engadine Valley and is known as the Monte Carlo of the Alps or the Aspen of Europe. Very popular with bluebloods and socialistes due its unique location at altitude 1800 above sea level. The mountain village is right at the foot of the cable car to the Corviglia mountain and has over 300 days of sunshine a year. Are you a sportsfreak? St.Moritz is more than a high-society hangout, it is a sporty place with superb downhill skiing, hiking, an annual horse race (White turf) on the frozen lake St.Moritz or a rollercoaster ride on the nearby and world famous Cresta Run. After having a powernap, get dressed up, have a pizza at the restaurant Chiesa Veglia before dancing in the private member club Dracula. At the end of your stay take the Glacier Express, the slowest express train in the world and ride through the Swiss Alps, passing 291 bridges and 91 tunnels towards Zermatt.
