international
health resort
Despite the VIP's that constantly come here, and in spite of
the high-society,
exclusive night-clubs, St. Moritz, host of the 1928 and 1948
Winter Olympics, has
managed to retain its sporty atmosphere. Her the winter sport
enthusiast can
find everything that his heart desires. Starting with plenty
of sunshine, enjoy
wide downhill slopes, "ski-ways" downhill racing,
excellent cross-country routes,
ice-skating rinks, the chance to play curling, olympic
tobbogan-runs, bobsled courses, and the foumous skeleton run "Cresta Run".
Something quite unusual
when the St. Moritz lake freezes over - two international
horse racing
competitions, Polo and Cricket tournaments take place on top
of the ice !
St Moritz is also a renowned health resort. This winter resort
is in the heart of
the Oberengadin, and here there are mineral springs that have
been used
sice the Bronze Age.
