ST MORITZ, SWITZERLAND

St. Moritz is a chic and vibrant town. It has a high quality ski area with extensive skiing. Corviglia is best for beginners with some good easy runs, but it is the intermediate skiiers who will be able to take full advantage of the ski area, Corviglia and Corvatsch. They offer plenty of red runs and there are plenty of black runs on Diavolezza and Lagalb. For non skiiers there is a wide array of activites including cross country, toboganning and winter walks. There is a frozen lake which hosts many sporting and social events, including the Cartier Polo on snow and 'White Turf' horse racing. The restaurants in St. Moritz are excellent and if you like dacing there is one of the best clubs I have ever been to in a ski resort. 'Dracular Club'! There is something for eveyone.

If your looking for a resort with a touch of class then St Moritz should be on your wish list. From the start of your holiday if you take the train from Chur it is one of the worlds best train journeys this will give you an idea of what to expect. The skiing matches the scenary with the frozen lake providing an impressive back drop to your skiing. The town itself has some grand buildings with most shops not having prices for their merchandise showing in their windows. St Moritz is one of the best places to do cross country skiing if you fancy a change from downhill. Plus the frozen lake also holds the famous White Turf horse race meeting once a year. There are plenty of opportunities in St Moritz for all ages. There is a great night skiing once a week if you still have the energy in Corvatsch Nightlife there are plenty of bars with live bands to choose from to with music to suit all taste & some really great restaurants. The skiing will has something for everyone as the town stands at 1800 metres which means you can normally ski back into town most of the year.
