About the spa town of St. Moritz (source: wikipedia):
St. Moritz (Italian San Maurizio, French Saint-Moritz) is a municipality in the Engadine, in the Maloja region of the Swiss canton of Graubünden. The place is named after Saint Mauritius, who is also depicted in the coat of arms. The residents' local nickname is ils draguns 'the dragons'.
The municipality is one of the most famous health resorts and winter sports resorts in the world. The Winter Olympics were held here in 1928 and 1948.
Geography: The municipality of St. Moritz consists of the combined districts of St. Moritz-Dorf, St. Moritz-Bad, Suvretta and half of Champfèr, two kilometers away - the other half of Champfèr belongs to Silvaplana.
St. Moritz-Dorf (1822 m) is located on the steep northern shore of Lake St. Moritz, the St. Moritz-Bad (1774 m) and Champfèr (1825 m), through which the Inn flows, are each on a level southwest of Lake St. Moritz.
To the southwest between St. Moritz and Maloja lies the Engadine Lake District, which consists of Lake St. Moritz, Lake Champfèrer, Lake Silvaplana, Lake Hahnen and Lake Sils. The height difference from Lake St. Moritz to the Maloja Pass, 15 kilometers away, is just under 50 meters. To the east of St. Moritz are the Stazerwald and the Charnadüra Gorge, through which you can reach the next large level, 50 meters lower, which only has a 60-meter drop to S-chanf, 20 kilometers away.
The local mountain, on which the winter ski area with 23 facilities is located, is called Corviglia and Piz Nair (3057 m) and is located north of the village. A little less well-known and further west, but more impressive due to its height and shape, is the Piz Güglia/Julier (3380 m).
History and tourism: The dating of the larch wood of the prehistoric St. Mauritius spring showed that the healing springs were already known in the Bronze Age over 3,400 years ago. The presence of the Romans in antiquity is proven by finds. With the opening of the first hotel, the Kulm Hotel, in 1856, the development of tourism and winter sports began in the town.
Thanks to innovative locals and guests, St. Moritz was the first municipality in Switzerland to present technical innovations on several occasions, such as the first electric light (Christmas 1878), the first powered flight in Switzerland (1910) and the first ski lift (1935).
In 1930, St. Moritz was the first place to legally protect a symbol (“The Sun of St. Moritz”), and since 1986 the lettering and signet (St. Moritz, TOP OF THE WORLD) has been protected by trademark law. The latter was an initiative of Hans Peter Danuser, the long-time spa and transport director (from 1978 to 2008).
Since 1. January 2019, the singer and entertainer Christian Jott Jenny, who founded the Festival da Jazz in St. Moritz in 2008, is mayor.
