About the Work

Located in Switzerland's alpine Engadin Valley, St. Moritz stands out among other renowned ski resorts due to its enduring appeal. It has been the winter home of celebrities such as Gunter Sachs, Gianni Agnelli, Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, and Claudia Schiffer, making it a gathering place for the most prominent names in cinema, art, and fashion year after year. Dora Lardelli takes readers on a journey through the favorite haunts of Chanel and Hitchcock, the exclusive parties at Badrutt's Palace where royalty goes to play, and the natural beauty, village charm, and architectural mastery that define it. St. Moritz is also a majestic destination for special events such as the Winter Olympics, the annual Snow Polo World Cup, the summertime Jazz Festival, and the British Classic Car Meeting. Creatives and royals come together in St. Moritz to share skiwassers on the sheepskin benches of El Paradiso, enjoy champagne on long walks around the frozen, crystalline lake, and indulge in coffee and confections at the centuries-old Hanselmann. With its inimitable appeal, St. Moritz will continue to reign as an elegant hideaway and a home away from home.
