St Moritz is the original Swiss winter resort, an extravagantly fashionable mountain resort world famous for its skiing, fantastic scenery, the curative waters of its Health Spa and the social life. Although not the classic image of a Swiss mountain resort, the setting and spectacular scenery more than makes up for its lack of charm. Consisting of two villages, St Moritz-Bad on the lake and St Moritz-Dorf on the hillside above, its romantic setting in the wildly beautiful corner of the southeastern Swiss Alps is a combination of forests, mountain and lake. St Moritz boasts some of the most reliable and abundant winter snowfall in the country and the miles of downhill runs offer some of the finest intermediate skiing anywhere. The area also encompasses a network of cross-country ski trails, legendary toboggan and bobsled courses and an Olympic ski-jump. The spa section of this exclusive and exciting town, St Moritz-Bad, offers the long-time tradition of mineral baths, mud baths and spa therapies for a relaxing spa vacation. The nightlife at St Moritz is renowned as the most energetic and expensive of all the alpine ski resorts.
