Travel to St. Moritz

The Top of the World

By Hilary Rowland

      If you belong to the Jet-Set millionaire clique then you've probably already been to St. Moritz--or at least heard a lot about it from your Jet-Set friends. If not, I can tell you that, in a nutshell, St. Moritz is the most glamorous, posh, exclusive and expensive winter resort town in the world. If you can manage to get there, expect to pay four times as much as you would anywhere else - and that's if you don't go shopping!

Arriving into St. Moritz, nestled on the sunny side of the Swiss Alps, is challenging--to say the least. On a typical snowy winter night it's not uncommon to be saddled with a fog of snow so thick that it prevents you from seeing further than a meter in front of your car (just to make the trip a bit more interesting). The mountain road you take to St. Moritz is unusually windy and often terrifying narrow--not a single mile of it is straight (or easy to drive on, for that matter). If you manage to climb up safely with the right car and tires, the reward is well worth it the next morning.
