St. Moritz, the birthplace of Alpine winter tourism is a holiday resort town in Switzerland and seems like a well kept secret.  It has hosted the Winter Olympics twice and guests from all over the world appreciate the modern Alpine lifestyle and winter sporting opportunities the area provides but you don’t hear much about this picturesque alpine town.  We are loved spending a few days at Badrutts Palace Hotel in St.Moritz<\/a> during our summer Alps road trip.  Here are some of our top favorite summer things to do in St. Moritz<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St.Moritz is a glamorous mountain resort synonymous with privilege and old money.  These days it is a popular stop on the Bernina express<\/strong> – St. Moritz is a mid-way point on a train journey from Chur down to Tirano, considered one of the most scenic in the world. Saint Moritz first became famous thanks to its mineral springs.  The springs were discovered 3,000 years ago and established the town as a summer spa resort early on.  St. Moritz was always ahead of the times – the first electric light went on at Christmas time in 1878, the first golf tournament in the Alps took place here, in 1889 and one of the first ski lifts in Switzerland began running in 1935. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
