St. Moritz is so much more than the famous ski resort in the Swiss Alps where the international jet set strolls along Via Serlas in the village centre, enjoys the fun and excitement on perfectly prepared slopes and is entertained during the Snow Polo World Cup on the frozen lake, hosted here since 1985. St. Moritz is a way of life. Some places on earth are simply unique and therefore possess this irresistible appeal to the happy few. They who can afford to only settle for the best, the lifestyle Oscar Wilde so passionately embraced. St. Moritz has everything a place needs to be desired.

The wealthy tourists were already there and the stunning mountain landscape of Graubünden did the rest. Visitors wanted to be active and discover the mountains so it is not surprising that, by the late nineteenth century, St. Moritz was the place where winter tourism was developed into luxurious winter entertainment and a new source of revenue.
