Nestled in Switzerland's Engadine Alpine valley, St. Moritz stands alone amid a sea of renowned ski resorts, for it has long retained an elusive allure.
Author Dora Lardelli takes the reader on a journey through Chanel and Hitchcock's favorite haunts and the hidden parties of Badrutt Palace, where royalty goes to play, not forgetting the natural beauty, village charm and architectural mastery that define it.
St. Moritz also takes readers on a majestic tour of its special events, from the Winter Olympics to the annual Snow Polo World Bowl, the Summer Jazz Festival and the British Classic Car Meeting. In St. Moritz, creatives and royalty share the ski slopes on El Paradiso's Sheepskin Benches, stop to sip Champagne on long walks around its crystal-clear frozen lake, and enjoy coffee and confectionery at old Hanselmann's.
Dora Lardelli is an art director, art historian and writer. She studied art, classical archaeology, Italian literature and linguistics at the University of Basel. Gold helped found the Upper Engadine Cultural Archives and worked at the Segantini Museum in St. Moritz. She has also been an active member of the Swiss UNESCO Cultural Commission. She currently lives in her home town of Bregaglia, a valley between St. Moritz and Lake Como.
