Nestled in Switzerland's Engadine Alpine valley, St. Moritz stands out among a host of celebrated ski resorts for having long maintained an elusive charm. The winter home of the likes of Gunter Sachs and Gianni Agnelli to Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, and Claudia Schiffer, there are few places in the world that manage to bring so many major names from film, art, and fashion together in one place, year after year. Author Dora Lardelli takes readers on a journey through the haunts of Chanel and Hitchcock and the hidden parties at Badrutt Palace where royalty plays, not forgetting the natural beauty, local charm, and architectural mastery that define it. 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, designers and royalty share ski wassers beside the slopes, sit on sheepskin benches at El Paradiso, pause for champagne on long walks along its crystal-clear, ice-cold lake, and enjoy coffee and pastries at the century-old Hanselmann. St. Moritz has never lost its inimitable appeal and will continue to reign as an elegant hideaway for all those who have come to call it home away from home.
