Overview
St. Moritz is not a cruise port but rather a globally renowned luxury alpine resort town located in the Engadine valley in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. Nestled amidst breathtaking mountain scenery and beside the picturesque Lake St. Moritz, it is synonymous with exclusive tourism, winter sports, and high-end lifestyle.
Famous for its "champagne climate" with over 300 sunny days a year, St. Moritz has twice hosted the Winter Olympics and is a magnet for international travelers seeking world-class skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and a vibrant social scene. While it doesn't feature on any cruise itinerary, its iconic status and stunning natural beauty make it a bucket-list destination for land-based travelers exploring the Swiss Alps.
Experience one of the world’s most spectacular train journeys on the Bernina Express. This panoramic railway is a UNESCO World Heritage site that takes you through breathtaking Alpine scenery, past glaciers, and over dramatic viaducts and bridges.
Tip: Booking tickets for the panoramic cars in advance is essential to guarantee a window seat with unobstructed views of the magnificent landscape.
Take a leisurely walk along the promenade of Lake St. Moritz. In the summer, you can enjoy the peaceful ambiance and admire the beautiful surroundings. In the winter, the frozen lake becomes a stage for world-class events, from horse races to polo tournaments.
Tip: For a different perspective, consider a short, scenic boat cruise on the lake during the summer months.
For a glimpse into the town's winter sports legacy, visit the St. Moritz-Celerina Olympic Bob Run. It is the only natural-ice bobsleigh track in the world and has been in operation since 1904. The famous Cresta Run for skeleton sleds is another incredible sight to see.
Tip: Check the schedule to see if you can watch a training session or a race. You can sometimes book a "guest ride" for a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime experience with an experienced driver.
St. Moritz is renowned for its luxury. Explore the famous Via Serlas, often called the "Swiss answer to the Fifth Avenue," for high-end boutiques and exquisite jewelry stores. The town is also filled with elegant cafes and chocolate shops perfect for a delightful break.
Tip: Don't miss the local pastry shops, which are famous for their delectable cakes and Engadin Nusstorte (nut tart).
Utilize the excellent network of funiculars and cable cars to ascend to one of the surrounding mountain peaks, such as Piz Nair. From the top, you are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Engadin Valley, the famous lakes, and the majestic Bernina massif.
Tip: The St. Moritz-Corviglia funicular is easily accessible from town and offers stunning views even on a short trip.
For an artistic and cultural diversion, visit the Segantini Museum. Dedicated to the painter Giovanni Segantini, a master of realism, the museum showcases his life and work. The building itself is designed to evoke his paintings and provides a beautiful backdrop for his art.
Tip: The museum's circular rotunda, with its powerful triptych "Life – Nature – Death," is a highlight and a must-see for art lovers
