About St. Moritz
St. Moritz sits at about 1,800 metres and has the feel of a small town, with around 5,000 residents and about 3,000 seasonal workers. The lake freezes each winter and hosts the White Turf horse race, plus Snow Polo every January. The Olympics came here in 1928 and 1948. In town you will find the Segantini Museum, Via Serlas for shopping and Norman Foster's Chesa Futura. Our homes are spread out around the town and its edges, not all in the middle. It is the highest town in Switzerland with a railway station, and the Glacier Express and Bernina Express both stop here. Summers are cool and the ice rink opens from mid-July to mid-April, so there is something on whatever the month.

per nightSt. Moritz villa holidays: questions answered
Can you ski from St. Moritz town?
Yes, in the sense that the St. Moritz-Corviglia funicular links the town with the ski area. The wider Engadine has four ski regions with about 350 km of prepared slopes, so a week rarely runs out of options.
Is the lake in St. Moritz frozen in winter?
Yes. Lake St. Moritz freezes each winter and hosts the White Turf horse race and Snow Polo, held every January since 1985. Both are spectator events on the ice.
St. Moritz or Pontresina for a holiday home?
St. Moritz is the larger town, with around 5,000 residents against Pontresina's roughly 2,200, so it has more shops and events. Pontresina suits walkers, as the Bernina line and Val Roseg start there.
When is the Engadin Skimarathon near St. Moritz?
It takes place on the second Sunday of March. The race has run for over 40 editions since 1969.
Is there an airport near St. Moritz?
Yes. Samedan airport is about 5 km away, roughly 20 minutes, with flights to Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Milan and Munich. Most UK visitors still fly to Zurich and continue by road or by train via Chur.
