Look what we found in our basement: hotel posters from around 1900! 🗝️ Around 1900, the Schweizerhof, also known as Hotel Suisse, advertised itself as the newest first-class hotel in St. Moritz, with an international clientele and a reputation as a house “favoured by royalty”. What guests could expect back then: → 140 rooms and salons, 175 beds → central heating, electric ventilation and an Otis elevator from New York → reading, ladies’, music, library and billiard salons → daily concerts by an orchestra from La Scala → the only house in town with a direct south front A heated underground passage led to the Villa du Château, formerly Villa Flugi, where families could rent entire apartments: “all the advantages of a villa without the drawbacks of your own household”. Today, it’s our staff house. The hotel also owned around 40,000 m² of land down to the lake, with two ice rinks, two tennis courts and private paths to the water. ⛸️🎾 More than a century later: same place, same view. Which detail surprised you most? 🤔 #schweizerhofstmoritz #stmoritz #hotelhistory #engadin #thenandnow -

🏂🔥 Young, fearless, on the rise. Meet Niklas Huber, slopestyle and big air rider with the Snowboard Germany Freestyle Team, and the newest athlete we’re proud to sponsor. Last winter, the 22-year-old won the overall European Cup title in Slopestyle & Big Air. One of the podiums that got him there happened right on our doorstep: 2nd place at the European Cup Premium on Corvatsch, on 17 April. Off the snow, you’ll find him windsurfing or exploring the mountains. If there’s a board involved, he’s probably on it. Now the next level is calling. Bigger stages, bigger tricks, bigger goals. We’re proud to be part of the journey. Follow along. 👉 @niklas_h_u_b_e_r 📸 @snowboardgermany #niklashuber #sponsorship #snowboarding #snowboardgermany #schweizerhofstmoritz -

We’re not quite ready to say goodbye to summer. ☀️ But there’s something we’re already looking forward to… The Engadin is about to change its colours. 🍂 Green forests will turn into shades of yellow, orange and red, the light will become softer, the mountains quieter – and the whole landscape will feel like a completely different world. October & November are coming. And they’re worth planning for. This spectacular season only lasts for a short while. So if you’ve been dreaming of seeing the Engadin dressed in its autumn colours, don’t wait until it’s here. Choose your dates. Book ahead. And come see it for yourself. 🏔️🍂 🎥 @paulmichael #stmoritz #indiansummer #colorsoftheengadin #swissalps #engadinstmoritz -
MEET DIMI. 🎾⚡️ Fast, focused, relentless. We’ve been supporting Swiss squash pro Dimitri “Dimi” Steinmann for some time now – usually from the sidelines, sharing his biggest moments. Today, it’s time to introduce the man behind the racket. Currently ranked Switzerland’s No. 1 and World No. 20, Dimi has reached a career-high World No. 16, won multiple PSA titles and became part of Swiss squash history this year as the Swiss men’s team claimed their first-ever European Team Championship silver medal. 🇨🇭 But the biggest goal is still ahead: LA28. 🏆 Squash will make its Olympic debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Games – and Dimi is already training for his shot at making history. We’re proud to be part of the journey. Keep watching. This one is just getting started. #dimisteinmann #sponsorship #squash #roadtola28 #schweizerhofstmoritz
Why a summer vacation in St. Moritz in July is an excellent idea
When you think of St. Moritz, you often picture snow-covered slopes, crackling fireplaces, and crystal-clear winter days. But those in the know understand: summer in St. Moritz is a well-kept secret. Especially in July, the Engadin reveals its most beautiful side – bathed in sunlight, full of life, and at the same time touched by soothing calm.
Alpine Light & Crystal-Clear Mountain Air
In July, the mountains come alive. The sky is clear, the lakes shine in emerald and blue tones, and the air – always fresh – carries the scent of wildflowers and Swiss pine wood. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, St. Moritz shows its brightest side in July.
Whether on a leisurely walk along Lake St. Moritz, a panoramic hike on Muottas Muragl, or a quiet coffee on the hotel terrace – nature invites you to breathe deeply, switch off, and be fully present.
Active through the Engadin Summer
In July, the possibilities for outdoor adventures are nearly limitless. Hiking trails are accessible, mountain lifts are running, and nature is in full bloom. Look forward to:
- Hikes for every fitness level
- Mountain bike trails with breathtaking views
- Stand-up paddling or sailing on Lake St. Moritz
- And for the brave: a dive into the cold, clear water of Lej da Staz
Our concierge team is happy to organize e-bikes, picnic baskets, or guided tours for you.
Culture & Joy of Life in Summer
St. Moritz is more than just nature. In July, the town awakens with cultural highlights, local events, and an atmosphere that is both relaxed and cosmopolitan.
Whether concerts at the Festival da Jazz, BCCM for vintage car lovers, outdoor art exhibitions, or summer markets – there is always something to discover. In the evenings, the village invites you to stroll, enjoy, and linger – best of all on our terrace at sunset with a glass of wine.
