Situated in the heart of the picturesque Upper Engadine valley at approximately 1,856 meters above sea level, St. Moritz is one of Switzerland's most sought-after international tourist destinations. Elegance, refinement, and opulence distinguish this spectacular town, bathed in sunshine for approximately 322 days a year. Situated on the shores of Lake St. Moritz , St. Moritz enchants its visitors with its surrounding landscape, where the white of the snow-capped mountains and the blue of the sky are reflected in the gentle waters of the lake. The town's fame dates back to 1864, when hotelier Johannes Badrutt made a bet with some of his British guests who frequented the resort during the summer season. Badrutt invited them to spend their winter holidays in St. Moritz as well, promising them clear, sunny days , blue skies, and breathtaking scenery. Guests fell in love with the town even during the cold season, and from that moment on, the town became one of the most famous winter resorts in the world.
