St Moritz Ski Holidays
St Moritz needs no introduction. A world-renowned, exclusive resort attracting the international jet-set, this is where beautiful people congregate and it’s the place to be seen in the Alps. With a huge high-altitude ski area to explore and scenery that will make your jaw drop, St Moritz is a veritable Alpine playground.
Enjoy the Slopes
Sitting between 1800 and 3300m, the ski area in St Moritz offers snow sure, high-altitude skiing all winter long. With 350km of pistes to explore it’s also a huge ski area. Many visitors prefer to visit the designer shops or sample the fine restaurants rather than ski, so you’ll find wonderfully quiet pistes, perfect for cruising around.
The ski area is split into two distinct parts which are linked by shuttle bus. The area closest to the centre of St Moritz is Corviglia offering an excellent choice of blues and reds as well as some super dining options. The Corvatsch ski area, accessible from Surlej, opens up yet more skiing opportunities. The hardest part will be deciding where you want to ski each day!
If you are feeling particularly adventurous, there's even a third ski area which is accessible using the resort's fantastic public transport network. Take the train to Bernina Diavolezza (this train journey is incidentally the start of the stunning Bernina Express scenic train journey) and there's a cable car that will whisk you up to the Diavolezza glacier at 3000m with stunning scenery. There's a few excellent long red descents and it's a fun day out included on your lift pass.
Although there aren’t many pisted black runs, expert skiers shouldn’t be put off skiing in St Moritz. The resort boasts some incredible and varied off-piste skiing (to be explored with a guide) that is readily accessible and seldom skied. If you like eating up miles on the slopes, why not try the Snow Safari? You can ski from the furthest away point in Corvatsch at Furtschellas all the way over to Celerina in Corviglia with plenty of photo stops along the way.
Enjoy the Resort

Après-Ski in St Moritz
Known for its elegance and glamour, St. Moritz offers excellent restaurants, trendy bars and cosy cafes.
Guests at the Nira Alpina should stop off at the Hossa Bar on their last run down the mountain. Here you’ll find a fun and relaxed atmosphere with Friday being the biggest party night! The Hauer RooBar is a popular spot for meeting up right on the main square in St Moritz with a large drinks menu including some local beers.
For a bar with plenty of atmosphere, an excellent drinks menu and a touch of understated glamour, the No5 Bar at the Hotel Grace La Margna comes highly recommended. The Sky Bar at the Hotel Monopol is worth a visit for the views alone – the one and only rooftop bar in St Moritz, it offers stunning views over the town and down onto the lake in a refined setting. For an upmarket aperitif in a sophisticated setting the Renaissance Bar at Badrutt’s Palace is well worth a visit.
The Pavarotti Wine Bar is somewhere to check out for anyone who likes to make friends. With shared tables, a casual atmosphere and no WiFi, striking up conversation with strangers while enjoying a delicious glass of wine is positively encouraged. For something more akin to a pub, the Stübli bar at the Hotel Schweizerhof has a very down to earth atmosphere, often with live music where everyone is welcome. Think more pints of beer and less fancy cocktails!
The ultimate place to be seen is the King's Club in the Badrutt's Palace, known for its infamous party nights. It's the oldest nightclub in Switzerland and a must for any visitor to St Moritz.

Another cosy mountain hut is the Restaurant Trutz – a nice sun terrace, rustic interior and traditional food make this a welcoming option.
In the resort
You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining options in St Moritz. All three restaurants at the Hotel Grace La Margna are excellent: the Beefbar restaurant has an incredible atmosphere and definitely merits a visit (make sure to book in advance); for a cosy Swiss dinner Stüvetta is an absolute delight; and the panorama from The View is stunning. The Chesa Veglia has been attracting locals and visitors for decades and houses the Patrizier Stuben and Pizzeria Heuboden serving delicious food in cosy, intimate surroundings. There’s a strong Italian influence in the area with many excellent Italian restaurants including La Scarpetta among others. Look out for pizzoccheri on the menu – a typical dish from the neighbouring Valtellina region in Italy it’s hearty mountain food consisting of potato, buckwheat flour pasta, cabbage, cheese and garlic butter.
