St. Moritz, Switzerland

St. Moritz may be known for its winter glamour, but summer brings its own kind of magic, long sunny days, crystal-clear lakes, and alpine adventures at every turn. Here’s how to make the most of it.

WHERE TO STAY

Suvretta House or Badrutts Palace – Grand, historic, and perfectly placed for both adventure and indulgence. Whether you're heading out early or easing into the day, a spa session here is always a good idea.

WHAT TO DO IN THE MORNING

Start with a hike or rent an e-bike to explore the valley’s trail network. For lunch, head to Trutz — a mountain restaurant with panoramic views and hearty Engadin dishes. Sit back, soak up the sun, and stay a while.

WHAT TO DO IN AFTERNOON

Ease into the afternoon with an aperitif on the Suvretta House Terrace. Still have energy? A match on the tennis courts or a few spa hours at Kulm, Badrutt’s, or Suvretta will round things off beautifully.

DAY TWO: ON THE WATER

Lake Silvaplana is summer’s answer to the slopes. Try kite or windsurfing — the breeze here makes it a favourite for thrill-seekers. Afterwards, lunch at Bellavista with views up to Piz La Margna.

WHERE TO GO FOR DINNER

Chesa Veglia – For cosy, classic wood-fired pizzas in a charming alpine setting.

Mario’s – A lively dining room and refined menu in the heart of Badrutt’s Palace.

Val Fex Fondue Walk – Hike through the romantic Val Fex and enjoy a fondue feast under the stars at Sonne or Crasta.

CULTURE

St. Moritz is more than mountains. Discover the Segantini Museum, Stalla Madulain, Monica De Cardenas, and seasonal favourite The Stable — where art meets alpine charm.
