St Moritz, Switzerland St. Moritz was Switzerland’s glitziest resort before glitzy was even a word. St.-Moritz is not your average ski resort. It’s the kind of place where polo tournaments are played on a frozen lake and sponsored by Cartier. Where you need a letter of recommendation to sled with the tobogganing club. Where the gear on the slopes is Gucci, the fashion on the streets, Chanel.

Audrey Hepburn’s favourite Ski destination and you wouldn’t question the icon’s choice would you? However, everything in St.-Moritz—from hotel rooms to lift tickets to a cup of coffee—carries a high price tag. So if you’re looking for bargains, you’re probably better off choosing a different ski resort.
