The Ultimate Luxury on the Snow: Mountain Chalets
Chill & Stay
Thanks to a minimal design and the warmth of the wood, modern luxury chalets share traditional materials, exclusive comfort, and a breathtaking landscape.
A new year has come, and it is natural to think about mountain destinations as places to unwind and relax after a period of intense work.

Some chalets allow their guests to live in a natural environment with all of the excellent services and comfort offered by metropolitan hotels. In addition to a beautiful view, a week in the mountains always requires an exceptional location. Originally built as a shelter for shepards and their livestock, mountain chalets are now the ultimate winter luxury. Five-star lodges and high-quality modern chalets are both options that offer an exclusive mountain holiday experience where one can relax and ski on the most exciting slopes of Europe. All of these environmentally friendly accommodations provide luxury services and total privacy.

St. Moritz, originally born as a summer destination, is today the meeting point for personalities from the international scene who show off the latest clothing and accessories on the snow. Known as one of the most famous and luxurious ski resorts in the world, St. Moritz is an exclusive destination constantly frequented by royal families from all over Europe and by celebrities from the Hollywood star system.
Proof of this are the thousands of private jet flights that land each year at the nearby airport and the luxury shops of Chanel, Bulgari, Gucci and many other successful brands. VIP guests often arrive downtown in a carriage, but at the same time even non-famous tourists can enjoy the beauty of the relaxing environment and the architectural elegance of the Swiss town.
Hundreds of kilometres of ski slopes and a frozen lake will give you the opportunity to enjoy the most popular winter sports, whereas all the mineral springs of the town will give you the chance to relax and improve your well-being. Attending the bars where famous people socialize or the restaurants where actors and singers are photographed is not impossible. For example, one of the most famous ski bars in Europe, the King's Club of the Badrutt's Palace hotel, asks for "Dress To Impress" as the only requirement for entrance clothing. However, many come to St. Moritz not for the fashion, but for the top-notch quality of its ski resort.
Before St. Moritz was one of the largest ski resorts in the Swiss Alps, it was just a small town in the Upper Engadine valley, revered more for its summer activities than anything else. Its seasonal transition took place through the Kulm Hotel, the first in St. Moritz, and above all thanks to the foresight of its owner, the hotelier and pioneer Johannes Badrutt. The future of the Alpine city as a symbol of maximum luxury and winter tourism was further consolidated in 1928, when it hosted the first official Winter Olympics. Ladies dressed in silk and sequins, covered in furs and men in three-piece suits strolled along the Kulm Pavilion and Country Club, an extension of the Kulm Hotel built in 1905 and the unofficial headquarters of the 1928 and 1948 Olympic Games. early 2017 Lord Norman Foster faithfully restored the interiors of the Kulm Hotel using spruce wood and imagining a space that once again framed the spectacular panoramic view of the mountains, allowing sunlight to filter through a series of large windows.
Hotel Kulm is the great lady of St. Moritz. Its magnificent interior is still in step with modern luxury. In the lobby, gilded and decorated with an elegance typical of the early 1900s, guests gather, sipping wine by the fire. Its spa still resplendent thanks to a recent $ 10 million renovation, features a Finnish sauna, steam room, full gym, saltwater grotto, multi-lane heated pool, heated outdoor pool overlooking the frozen lake of St Moritz. In addition, the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz hosts seven restaurants led by celebrity chefs such as the Peruvian Claudia Canessa. In this historic resort there is only one watchword: elegance.
