Engadine - St. Moritz

Exciting blend of nature, culture and sports

Three different cultural regions converge in St. Moritz thanks to the Romansch language, its proximity to Italy and the fact that the majority of the local population are German-speaking. The resort owes its original fame to its therapeutic springs, world-renowned for over 3,000 years now. As well as its superb location above and on the lakeshore, St. Moritz offers an attractive mixture of nature, culture, sport, activity and tranquillity.
