The next suggestion is a town whose nearby attraction is known by many of us from the Heidi movie. Do you remember that girl who was living in a wonderful, small chalet in the heart of the mountains? Well, you have the chance of seeing that place right in front of your eyes! Heidi’s hut is the most famous spot in this area.
Located in the Upper Engadine Valley, in the Swiss canton Graubünden, St. Moritz is the cradle of Alpine tourism. This winter resort has attracted the world’s rich and famous since the mid 19th century, with its clear lake, imposing mountains and high forests. But hey, nowadays, not only these people come to enjoy the town, but everyone with an interest in jaw-dropping sights and winter sports.
The highest peak in the Eastern Alps, Bernina Piz, is just a few kilometers away from the resort: a great advantage for hikers, sport enthusiasts and those who, like me, are seeking breathtaking mountain sceneries.
Moreover, St. Moritz is the oldest winter resort in the world. Perched at an altitude of 1856 meters, the town offers its visitors a breath of fresh and clean air and some unforgettable panoramic views to stare at.
