St Moritz

St Moritz is a very trendy, top end ski resort. We stayed over following our trip on the Glacier Express. We walked around the town and lake in the afternoon. Lots of fashion label shops and wonderful views of the lake.



                                 Gail on the hotel balcony. It is a beautiful town.


                                                        Even better...the two of us.


                                                            View of the town.


                                       The lake reminded us of Lake Louise. Good reflections

The next day we were not leaving till afternoon so walked through the town and took the trip up the mountain. The Corviglia complex comprises two legs of a funicular style  cabin and a cable car to the top. Great views in every direction.


             As we climbed up in the first funicular, the views of the town and lake were great.


                                           The cable car passing the other way on final leg.


                                                      We are glad we didn't walk!


                                                   We miss the scenery in half our selfies!




                                           Robert on the top of the mountain.


                                       Three photos from almost the one spot. The mountains.


                                               Next shot: The Glacier.


                                            And the lake.


                              We needed to take the 40 minute trip back down so retraced our steps.


                                 The destination of the World Ski Championships in 2003 and 2017.


                                                   View from the cable car.



                                                  And the town comes back into view.


By the time we arrived back to the hotel, we had 20 minutes before check out.  We still managed a quick cup of tea before we left.  Just as well we did not know what the rest of the day had on offer!!

Shame the ski slopes weren't open. You would both look wonderful on skis.
