Nestled in Switzerland's alpine Engadine valley, St. Moritz stands alone amidst a sea of famous ski resorts, having long retained an elusive allure. As the winter home of celebrities such as Gunter Sachs and Gianni Agnelli, Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon and Claudia Schiffer, there are few places in the world that bring together so many of the biggest names in film, art and fashion in one place year after year. Author Dora Lardelli takes the reader on a journey to the favorite haunts of Chanel and Hitchcock and to the hidden parties at Badrutt's Palace, where the royals hang out, without forgetting the natural beauty, village charm and architectural masterpieces that define the place. St. Moritz also takes readers on a majestic tour of its special events, from the Winter Olympics to the annual Snow Polo World Cup, as well as the summer Jazz Festival and the British Classic Car Meeting. In St. Moritz, creatives and royals share a ski soak on the sheepskin benches of El Paradiso, sip champagne on long walks around the frozen, crystal-clear lake and enjoy coffee and pastries in the centuries-old Hanselmann.
