Tours Skiing in St Moritz with Zurich - 8 Day Deluxe Independent Tour europe/switzerland-1217080780

The best known of the continents mountain ranges, the Alpine chain, runs through most of Switzerland and provides the majority of the countrys magnificent natural sights. A popular wintersport area, some of the Europes most fashionable and exclusive ski resorts are located high among the peaks. Many, such St Moritz attract Europes rich and famous, including the British Royal Family. In the summer, towns become green mountain centres for walking and mountaineering, and there are few places more naturally beautiful in the whole of Europe.

Host of two winter Olympics, St Moritz is a winter playground for the rich and famous. People come here to be seen and you can catch a glimpse of celebrities from sports stars to pop singers on the pistes around the resort.

The Cresta Run, the village toboggan run, is one of the towns biggest attractions – but you will need courage to hurl yourself down the superfast ice-chute. Taking a supplementary membership of the draconian St Moritz Tobogganing Club at CHF500 gives you five chances to risk life and limb on the skeleton sleds – but you have to attend practice sessions and not be female to join in. The adjacent bobsled run offers a more politically correct opportunity to break your neck.
