Morning Walk on Staz Lake in Autumn
Walk early in the morning (8:00 AM) along the tree-lined path from St. Moritz Dorf towards Lake Lej da Staz to admire the morning vapors on the water and the reflection of the golden larch trees without crossing paths with anyone.
Sunset at Muottas Muragl
Ride the Muottas Muragl funicular before sunset to enjoy a drink on the terrace while the Alpine sky turns violet over the Engadine lake line.
'Smart Casual' and Gala Dress Code
During the day, high-end mountain sports clothing rules. At night, the restaurants of the large palace hotels and events require a formal jacket or elegant dress for dinner.
Swiss Punctuality
Public transport, scenic trains and restaurant reservations are governed by exact minute punctuality.
Extreme Altitude Sun Protection
At almost 2,000 meters of altitude and with the reflection of the snow, ultraviolet radiation is extremely intense; Wear category 3 or 4 polarized sunglasses and SPF 50+ sunscreen even on cloudy days.
Pure Spring Water
Tap water and all public fountains come from alpine glacial springs of the highest quality and pure mineralization.
Caution with Ice and Snow on Sidewalks
In winter, despite the constant sweeping, the night cold generates transparent sheets of ice ('black ice') on the steep streets; Use shoes with non-slip rubber soles.
Safety on the slopes and off the slopes
Never leave the marked slopes of Corviglia, Diavolezza or Corvatsch without avalanche rescue equipment (DVA, shovel, probe) and a certified guide.
