Ski St Moritz

St Moritz is Switzerland's most famous 'exclusive' ski resort: glitzy, pricey, fashionable and, above all, the place to be seen. But, rather like Aspen in the US, St Moritz is not as snooty as its popular image might lead you to expect. They have even opened a half-pipe track for snow-boarders on Corviglia. What's more, the skiing - again, rather like Aspen - is superb, with something for everybody. The town of St Moritz itself is surprisingly modern. It seems far removed from the chocolate box image of the Swiss mountain resort, all wooden huts and cows with bells round their necks. St Moritz itself may be modern to look at, but its setting, beside the lowest in a long chain of lakes at the foot of the Piz Bernina, is spectacular. This is one of those areas where our progress on skis is regularly interrupted by the need to stand and gaze. It may not have quite the drama of the Jungfrau massif, or the Matterhorn, or the Dolomites, but its wide and glorious mountain landscapes make skiing here a special experience.
