What to See & Do in St Moritz, Switzerland
The altitude of St Moritz (1786 m, 5955 ft) gives it a "champagne climate"—temperate and sunny in summer, chill and dry in winter—excellent for both summer and winter sports.
 

 

 

Skiing

With 400 km/250 miles total of downhill runs, some of them 1.6 km/1 mile long, 160 km/100 miles of cross-country trails, and and an Olympic ski jump, it's among the world's ski capitals. It also hosts the world's oldest ski school.
