Nestled in Switzerland’s alpine Engadin Valley, St. Moritz stands on its own amidst a sea of celebrated ski resorts in that it has long maintained an elusive allure. The winter home of personalities from Gunter Sachs and Gianni Agnelli to Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, and Claudia Schiffer, there are few places in the world that manage to unite so many of the top names in cinema, art, and fashion all in one place, year after year. Author Dora Lardelli takes the reader on a journey through Chanel and Hitchcock’s favorite haunts and the hidden parties at Badrutt’s Palace where royalty goes to play, without 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 Winter Olympics to the annual Snow Polo World Cup, as well as the summertime Jazz Festival and the British Classic Car Meeting. In St. Moritz creatives and royals share skiwassers slope-side on the sheepskin benches of El Paradiso, pause to sip champagne on long strolls around its frozen, crystalline lake and enjoy coffee and confections at the centuries old Hanselmann. St. Moritz has never lost its inimitable appeal, and will continue to reign as an elegant hideaway for all those who have come to call it a home away from home.

Day Three: May 13, 2017 | Bernina Express Train Ride (2/2)

Part one here.

I can literally touch the snow from where I am. If only, the train would stop. I’d love to play with it. So much snow compared to the first time I experienced snow.

It looks unreal. Like it’s from a movie or so. The wind have started to become cool as well as we passed by this now filled mountains.

I’m pretty amazed with this lake that it didn’t froze. Well, to think that it is almost summer and they still have this much snow.

And btw, a fact, the only to get here is through this train or either you walk for miles away. The train tracks were man made and it was a pretty long train ride. I wonder how it took them to finish the train tracks.You can see no road from here and the road for the cars or on the other side of this photo. Really, really far. If you map where I am in this photo, and map where the road for the car is then it is far.

They have stops but we weren’t allowed to go down. I think this was one of the few stops until we reached our destination.

As we were riding the train, I saw someone skiing down this hill. Everyone noticed it on the train. I took a photo of it. I wonder how does it feel like skiing. After this photo, I felt tired and took a nap.

So I woke up to this. We were just only a few minuted to our last stop which is St. Moritz. 

Check it out here what we did in St. Moritz.
