St Moritz offers some of the most outstanding mountain views in Europe, with popular lookouts including Diavolezza, Muottas Muragl and Piz Nair, where you can catch incredible panoramic views of the beautiful Engadine Valley and the mountains, including the highest point in the Eastern Alps: Piz Bernina.

In the Valley itself, you will find the Engadine museum, which is well worth a look, as well as cafes and restaurants.

As a world class activity destination, you will find plenty to do in St Moritz if you are of a sporty persuasion.

In the evening, you can enjoy fine cuisine in a choice of restaurants, drink in elegant bars, or visit the St Moritz casino for a fun evening of gambling in glamorous and elegant surroundings.
