I was just at the Kempinski Grand Hôtel des Bains in St. Moritz and enjoyed my stay there very much.
There is a lot to do in and near St. Moritz in terms of winter sports and here is a short look at some options:
What’s Doing in St. Moritz
St. Moritz is a small city, neatly nestled in the Swiss Alps, which lays claim to both culture and nature. It spans approximately 11.1 square miles (28.7 square kilometers), and is home to a population of just over 5,000. About two thirds of the inhabitants speak German, and, due to its close geographic location to Italy, about a quarter use Italian.
Its location in the mountains graces St. Moritz with over 300 days of sunlight a year. The temperature, however, remains cool all year, with below freezing average temperatures in the winter and highs of 60° F (15.6° C) in July, its hottest month.
St. Moritz is best known for having hosted the winter Olympics on two separate occasions, in 1928 and 1948, although the city continues to host bobsled competitions.
But St. Moritz wasn’t always a winter playground,…
