Save or splurge in star-studded St Moritz

23rd September 2008 Print
Save or splurge in star-studded St Moritz Star-studded St Moritz is made available to skiers at down to earth prices with specialist operator flexiski. But if you really want to match the style of top celebrities seen on the Swiss resort’s slopes, like Kate Moss, George Clooney, Hugh Grant and Rupert Everett, flexiski can also offer packages with an A-list price tag.

With a ‘save or splurge’ offer, flexiski is able to book trips to this most chic of winter destinations with a bill that will make your bank manager either smile or wince.

While the rich and famous are partying at the renowned Kings Club, flexiski clients can enjoy a four-night break at the three-star Hotel Hauser from just £380 per person, including breakfast (based on sharing a double room). The hotel is in the centre of St Moritz – home to a host of glamorous events, including the Cartier snow Polo World Cup and the White Turf Racing Festival – and many of the double rooms on the south side overlook the main square.

However, for those with taste for the high life, head for the exclusive Badrutt’s Palace for a no-expense spared five-star treat in March from £1,690 per person, based on two adults sharing a deluxe junior suite and including breakfast. Badrutt’s Palace offers spectacular views of the Alps and St Moritz Lake. A historic symbol of St Moritz, the palace has been a favourite with celebrities and royalty since it opened in 1896.

Eating out in St Moritz can also be a budget experience or you can opt for two-star Michelin restaurants. Among the restaurants offering outstanding cuisine with an appetising price tag is La Marmite. Located at the top of the funicular (Corviglia Bergstation) it’s a great lunch stop with prices from £15 or you can opt for the extensive selection of caviar available with canapés.

The Chesa Chantarella offers an exclusive mountain dining experience, serving excellent Swiss cuisine prepared from ingredients from the Upper Engadine’s top producers. A carriage ride from this characteristic restaurant down to the valley makes a romantic end to an evening. Alternatively, thrill-seekers can take a sleigh ride instead.
