Lake St. Moritz

Highlight • Lake

In summer, a clean mountain lake with a well-kept shoreline for relaxing after a mountain hike. In winter, the ice surface is the venue for horse racing and cross-country skiing in a very special way.

The story of St. Moritz begins in 1864

The story of St. Moritz, as we know it today, begins in 1864, when hotelier Johannes Badrutt made a bet with his guests from Great Britain. He promised that not only the summer, but also the St. Moritz winter would be so pleasant that on sunny days one could enjoy the sun on the terrace without a jacket. Should his promise prove false, the hotelier would pay for their travel and winter stay. Wrapped head to toe in furs, the group of men crossed the Julier Pass the following December. Upon arriving in St. Moritz, the sky was clear, the sun warm, and Badrutt stood before them to greet them without a jacket and with his shirtsleeves rolled up. Winter tourism was born.
