St Moritz

A snowHead

dear all

i will go to there early of janurary. i found a map http://www.myswitzerland.com/wispo_images/karten/793_KARTE.jpg and have no idea staying at which village.

i prefer to rent a chalet/appartment for 2 to 4 persons. i don't mind walking away from village in 10 to mins but make sure there are shuttle bus passes by.

thanks all

just visited many websites and found that appartment price is from chf 550 up per week, moreover, final cleaning, visitor tax, bed linen, and etc are extra costs. so, will be charged around chf 800 finally. i think that it is so expensive. do you guys know the cheaper places, e.g. outskirt of st moritz where ski shuttle bus also pass by?

i really need your help, please give me some info.

many thanks

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

ftkl, Cant help you I am afraid, spent most of my time there in Hospital Crying or Very sad

(kidney stones).

Why do you want to go to St. Moritz. It is over hyped and has passed it day, too many Russians that have bought hotels and use them for very short periods as a result local economy not like it used to be.

Whitegold will be along soon and give you a run down of its virtues! wink

Zermatt would be a better choice, however the train journey from Chur to St. Moritz is truly beautiful!

You need to Login to know who's really who.

Isn't it a bit like walking into a highend store and then complaining about everything being "so expensive"?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Roy Hockley I disagree. St. Moritz has some really nice if slightly disjoint skiing, especially if you take the time out to go up the Bernina pass and ski on Piz Lagalb or take in the Morteratsch glacier off the back of Diavolezza ( and take the schwitzer bähnli back up to Diavolezza, it's a different kind of skiing! ). If you manage to hit Piz Lagalb on a powder day it's simply fantastic

. I've also had great powder days on and around Piz Nair and on Corvatsch...

BUT yes, the Russians have moved in, and in standard Russian style are raping the place Evil or Very Mad

That also applies to places like Lech, St.Anton and Kitzbühel though...

You'll need to Register first of course.

Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

After all it is free

Steilhang, Sorry that I deflated your rubber ring! The town is not what it used to be, the clientele is not like it used to be, although in your defence I can say the same for Courchevel also! Over the years there I am sure you have noticed a difference! A good days skiing, is a good days skiing whether it be Switzerland or Andorra. I was just offering an opinion to the OP that after travelling all that distance from Hong Kong he may be dissapointed if he believed he was going to the mecca of skiing yesteryear!

Give ftkl a break, guys - he's asked some specific questions about St Moritz (to which I've never been, so can't answer) not whether he should be going there at all!

*Ski* the Net with snowHeads

Roy Hockley, I don't usually pick my ski resorts by what the town offers or by what the clientele are up to. I tend to concentrate more on what the mountain offers! I guess each of us has his own set of priorities!

snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

Steilhang, Thank God you are right, but I think anywhere up the mountain is preferable to the town. Hurtle, I did not think I was having a go at ftkl, for going to a specific resort, and ftkl, if it sounded that way I apologise. Stick around here and you will pick up more information on European resorts and may even look at going to resort X or La Ros!
