⛷️St. Moritz, Switzerland 🇨🇭
A classic Swiss ski town with lake and Alps views ❄️🏔️
If you want a ski trip that feels luxurious, beautiful, and romantic, St. Moritz is a must-visit. 🤍 Located in the Engadin Valley, the town offers stunning views of snow-capped mountains, lakes, and the town itself. The atmosphere is especially beautiful during winter.
⛷️ Skiing at Corviglia
One of St. Moritz's main ski areas, it boasts various slopes and the highlight is the expansive view of the Engadin Valley. On clear days, you'll see a beautiful combination of white snow and a clear blue sky.
🚡 Take the cable car to Piz Nair
Up on the mountain at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountain peaks and lakes. Even if you don't ski, the view is worth the trip. 📸
❄️ Stroll along Lake St. Moritz
During winter, the lake often transforms into a white frozen landscape, surrounded by mountains, creating a unique atmosphere compared to other ski towns. And it's another incredibly beautiful photo spot.
🏘️ Stroll around St. Moritz Town
The town has hotels, beautiful buildings, cafes, restaurants, and shops, perfect for a stroll after a day of skiing. It's especially cozy in the evening when the lights are on ✨
🚞 Take a scenic train ride around Engadin
If you have extra time, consider taking a scenic train ride through the snow. The route features mountains, pine forests, and small villages – a great way to relax after skiing.
🫕 End with Swiss Fondue
After a day in the snow, enjoying hot cheese fondue with bread and a warm drink is the perfect way to spend the day. 🧀
🌅 Don't miss the Golden Hour
The evening light reflecting off the mountains and lake is one of the most beautiful times to visit St. Moritz. If the weather is good, you'll get stunning photos with a beautiful pinkish-orange hue.
St. Moritz is perfect for those who want to combine skiing, Alpine views, a lake, a beautiful town, and classic Swiss atmosphere all in one trip 🇨🇭❄️

🚂 EP.2 | Glacier Express — Switzerland 🇨🇭
A scenic train ride that takes you across the Alps for a full day 🏔️🚆
If the Bernina Express is your closest mountain adventure, another route you shouldn't miss is the Glacier Express, a panoramic train connecting Zermatt and St. Moritz. The journey takes approximately 8 hours 🌿
Along the approximately 291 km route, the train crosses 291 bridges and passes through 91 tunnels. The scenery changes constantly, from mountain villages and deep valleys to rivers and Alpine landscapes 🏔️❄️
One of the most beautiful sections is the Oberalp Pass, the highest point on the route at 2,033 meters. Another highlight is the Rhine Gorge, a massive rock canyon often called the "Swiss Grand Canyon" because of its white cliffs and the turquoise Rhine River flowing below 💙
Along the way, you'll also pass the Landwasser Viaduct, a 65-meter-high stone bridge spanning the valley. Before continuing on to the Engadin area and finally to St. Moritz.
What I liked most was that the view wasn't just beautiful at one point, but gradually changed throughout the journey, like watching a long nature movie through the train window 🎞️🚆
