About Flights to St Moritz

By Tom Martens

St. Moritz is the epitome of a traditional ski resort city. Skiers flock there by the thousands to savor the glitz and glamour which is as important as the skiing. Flights from the UK and Ireland hover in the 200-300 with Swiss International Airlines offering the best prices. You can also check with Lufthansa, but their rates are usually higher. Flights depart from London, Heathrow, Manchester, Gatwick, Birmingham and Glascow.

International Travelers travel to St. Moritz via Zurich, which is located about 150 miles from the resort. From there, catch a train from the airport to Church and then transfer for train to St. Moritz. Those, who have money to spare, can chose to take a plane from Zurich to Samden, a local airport near St. Moritz.

From November through April, St. Moritz is one of the best times for skiing. This place is considered the best in winter resorts in the world. Youll find the best snow around Christmas, but even better, the sun shines on St. Moritz all year, making for a more pleasant winter holiday. St. Moritz has also been known as a traditional spa town since the Middle Ages.

St. Moritz has 80 kilometers of piste length, or 88 slopes, for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. About 40 percent of the slopes are categorized for advanced skiers. The remaining slopes are for beginners and intermediates. St. Moritz is linked to two other ski areas in the region, so it has access to an additional 270 kilometers of slope area outside the resort area. The slopes are all connected by 56 lifts. In addition to the slopes, youll find cross-country routes and a snowboard park. There is also the Crest Run, a sled racing run more than 1,200 meters long

St. Moritz offers the board skier many different options . You have mountian climbing, bob sleding or paragliding. At night you can also have a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride to end your night.

A train ride on the high end Glacier Express or Berninina Express allows you to sit back and enjoy the scenery.
