St. Moritz Travel Journal

Relaxation, pampering, and adventure merge in Switzerland’s uber-expensive winter playland.

If you’re wondering where to go for breakfast (or for a meal that doesn’t cost 3x the price of other cities), there’s a great spot called Hauser in the center of town. It’s a lively restaurant with a great scene that often has live music. It’s also got a large outdoor seating area and bar. They’ve got a huge menu full of fantastic, healthy dishes, and their mulled wine is ohhhh soooo yummy. Definitely check it out when you’re in town.

And if you’re looking for some skiing action, The Carlton can hook you up. They have a ski/snowboard shop where you can get rentals, ski passes, etc. right in the hotel. My hubby (who is an expert boarder) went snowboarding and said the slopes were world-class, easily rivaling Chamonix and much better than any American slopes.

So there you have it. Go visit the St Moritz when you get the chance, stay in the breathtaking Carlton Hotel, and be sure to let them know you’re a fellow Urbanette. When you go, you’ll enter a winter wonderland that will spoil, enchant, and dazzle you, and leave you both satisfied and wanting more and more. Get ready!

    I really agree. The mountain ranges here looks really stunning and quite a rare sight in a world full of skyscrapers.

    This is the type of vacation people need when they’re really stressed and just want to get away from the city life.

    The views here are really priceless. I was really stunned by how the mountains look and even the rivers are just so clean.

    I’m stunned by the look of this place in St. Moritz. I’m going to show this to my hubby and ask if he wants to go here.

    Been there to Carlton hotel a couple of years ago and it’s very worth the money. I had so much fun just by staying at the hotel, even if I didn’t want to participate in outdoor activities because I was just too cold and I wanted to be wrapped up in blankets. The place was really good and service was amazing, I was fine with ordering room service, feeling like a princess in the process. It wasn’t all that bad, I felt at home but just something more luxurious and better. But the Carlton in St. Moritz is the place to be.

      It actually sounded like she was so disappointed with the food.

    The interior designers of most of the places here are really talented. Everything looks good in that hotel. The bed is just…. I dunno I’m speechless!

    Hikes usually give me vertigo too. I thought that was just me, but that hike view is so beautiful and breathtaking. I haven’t been there but I’ve fallen in love with the place almost immediately.

    100% going to book a flight here. I think it’s a really lovely place and whatever money you’re going to spend here will be worth it. It may be a lot of money but with all the positive and good reviews about this place, I think it’s really worth it and just enjoy the place as it is. I also think that vacations are good because it’s all about the experience. Money can’t buy happiness but this is definitely something that money can buy but leads to GREAT happiness! Put this on your bucketlist and tell yourself that it’s a once in a lifetime thing! ❤️
