Where the year is worth flying for.
St Moritz is an Alpine destination defined by crystalline light, the Piz Nair, frozen lake vistas, Corviglia descents, mid-century glamour, and a social calendar that establishes cultural authority without apology.

1 destinationHow the map is drawn.
- i.
The shortlist
A place earns a pin only after a member, scout or editor has spent a long weekend there in the last twelve months. Press trips do not count.
- ii.
The visit
Editors return in season, and out of it. The same harbour in August and in January is, often, two different places.
- iii.
The notes
When, why, what to wear, where to eat, who to ask. House notes get checked twice and rewritten until they sound like a friend, not a brochure.
- iv.
The cull
Destinations that have softened, scaled or simply stopped being themselves come off the map. We add slowly. We remove without sentiment.
From the desk
“The map is short on purpose. Two hundred good places matter less than thirty right ones: the village in May, the harbour in September, the moor in October. We add slowly. We remove without drama. We never accept a flight.”
