Car Hire St. Moritz - Mini guide to St. Moritz

This city in Switzerland is one of the premiere winter resorts of the world. Yearly it attracts lovers of skiing as well as those who just enjoy the winter chateau atmosphere. Glamorous and beautiful, here you will find famous actors, politicians, musicians as well as tourists enjoying the slopes.

The world's oldest ski school is at Moritz-Dorf, and was founded in 1927. Five ski complexes encircle St. Moritz, the nearest being Corviglia-Piz Nair, which has some challenging, mile-long runs back to the base. There's an abundance of snow in winter on 250 miles of downhill ski runs, 100 miles of cross-country ski trails, and the Olympic ski-jumping hill.

If you are looking for some culture to supplement your skiing, the Engadine Museum offers a history of the area from the Stone Age to the present. Also in St. Moritz is the Segantini Museum which features work by Giovanni Segantini, a famous artist who made this area his home during the last years of his life.

In addition to all of the slopes, St. Moritz offers great gourmet restaurants, hotels, clubs and pubs. In the spa section of this resort town, called St. Moritz-Bad, you can take mud and carbon-dioxide mineral-water baths, or have physical therapy and physiotherapy while you enjoy the stimulating alpine climate.

St. Moritz is linked by rail to major Swiss population centres and other major cities such as Munich and Milan. From these cities flights can be had to cities around the world.
