At 1,800 metres above sea level, the lake forms the centre of St. Moritz. In winter, it is covered by a clear sheet of ice, surrounded by snowy slopes and light – a place for sport, tradition, and encounter. In summer, the landscape is reflected in still waters; sailboats and walking paths lend the place a sense of lightness. A lake that radiates permanence and shapes life in the Engadin.
Since 1896, Badrutt’s Palace has embodied the beginning of the elegant winter season in St. Moritz. Its rooms tell stories of art, music, and encounters that have become part of the town’s culture. Fine cuisine, renowned boutiques, and the discreet grandeur of the house continue to define the style of St. Moritz to this day.
Above the rooftops of St. Moritz rises the church tower – a quiet landmark of the town. Along the Via Serlas and throughout the area unfolds a remarkable cultural density: internationally acclaimed galleries, museums such as the Segantini Museum, and seasonal exhibitions shape the rhythm of the year. Architecture, art, and design engage in a natural dialogue.
In winter, legendary slopes – Corviglia and Corvatsch – and extensive cross-country trails await; in summer, panoramic hiking paths, challenging mountain-bike routes, and golf against an alpine backdrop. Watersports on the deep-blue Lake St. Moritz complete the experience.
