High above Lake St. Moritz, the snow-covered peaks of Switzerland’s Engadine Valley set the scene for a festive season defined by alpine elegance, exceptional dining, and winter adventure. At the five-star, all-suite Carlton Hotel St. Moritz, December brings a celebration of the season that pairs Michelin-starred gastronomy with the glamour of one of Switzerland’s most storied winter destinations. Highlights include a collaborative four-hands dinner with the Cerea Brothers of Da Vittorio and Swiss chef Andreas Caminada, the excitement of the FIS Ski World Cup on Corviglia, and two distinctive New Year’s Eve celebrations. Beyond the table, a dedicated Outdoor Butler can arrange bespoke ski tours, snow treks, horse-drawn carriage rides, husky sledding, and ice skating, while the designer boutiques of St. Moritz offer a different kind of winter indulgence.
