"One aspect that is especially fascinating is the light. It is crystal clear, making it look like the horizon has been cut out with scissors."
- Rolf Sachs
Nestled in Switzerland’s alpine Engadin Valley, St. Moritz stands on its own amidst a sea of celebrated ski resorts in that it has long maintained an elusive allure. The winter home of personalities from Gunter Sachs and Gianni Agnelli to Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, and Claudia Schiffer, there are few places in the world that manage to unite so many of the top names in cinema, art, and fashion all in one place, year after year. Author Dora Lardelli takes the reader on a journey through Chanel and Hitchcock’s favorite haunts and the hidden parties at Badrutt’s Palace where royalty goes to play, without forgetting the natural beauty, village charm and architectural mastery that define it. St. Moritzalso takes readers on a majestic tour of its special events, from Winter Olympics to the annual Snow Polo World Cup, as well as the summer time Jazz Festival and the British Classic Car Meeting. In St. Moritz creatives and royals share skiwassers slope-side on the sheepskin benches of El Paradiso, pause to sip champagne on long strolls around its frozen, crystalline lake and enjoy coffee and confections at the centuries old Hanselmann. St. Moritz has never lost its inimitable appeal, and will continue to reign as an elegant hideaway for all those who have come to call it a home away from home.
Dora Lardelli is an art director, art historian and writer. She attended the University of Basel, where she studied art, classic archaeology, Italian literature and linguistics. Dora helped cofound the Upper Engadin Cultural Archive and worked at the Segantini Museum in St. Moritz, and she was an active member in the cultural commission of the Swiss UNESCO. She currently continues to live in her hometown of Bregaglia, a valley between St. Moritz and Lake Como.
