Good Value Hotels in Saint Moritz City Centre

St Moritz is one of the world’s best winter sports destinations. About 130 years ago, Britain’s bad weather escapees preferred St Moritz, a summer holiday spot, mainly reserved for the rich and famous. The town gets 320 days of sunshine throughout the year, and the cold is ‘dry.’ At the time, the visitors liked the city, but still, it was a bore. So, they introduced Cresta, a dare-devil one-person sled run.

Nowadays, St. Moritz offers various ice sports such as horseracing, polo, greyhound racing, skiing, cricket, skating, hockey, and a cross-country marathon for skiers. St Moritz town also has some sites and sights worth seeing, like ‘the Heidi hut,’ and Engadiner art museum. St. Moritz is just as beautiful in summer, an alpine wonderland for walkers and mountain bikers. The gorgeous exploration scenery like the Engadin Valley, numerous sailing and windsurfing lakes, and the rushing Inn River are stunning.

One way to reach St. Moritz is by taking the Glacier Express. It takes seven and a half-hour ride from the highest peaks of the eastern Alps to those of the western Alps around Zermatt. Alternatively, you can take the Bernina Express – two hours ride, starts in Chur, passing through St. Moritz on its way to Milan, Italy.

Besides traveling, sports is one of my favorite hobbies. Running in particular is one of these activities. I have already run marathons and know better than anyone that it is important to choose the right accommodation.
