About St Moritz

St Moritz is a high Alpine resort in the Engadin valley of eastern Switzerland, with a lake, ski slopes and a long record as a winter-sports host.

St Moritz stands at 1,822 metres above the lake of the same name in the Upper Engadin, in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. Its mineral springs drew visitors for centuries, and in the nineteenth century it became a winter-sports centre, hosting the Winter Olympics in 1928 and 1948. The Cresta Run, a natural ice track for headfirst skeleton racing, has been used since the 1880s. The Segantini Museum, in a domed building, shows the Alpine light paintings of Giovanni Segantini.
