#9: St. Moritz

Well, you had to know we'd get to St. Moritz eventually! Switzerland's most famous ski resort isn't nearly as expensive as you might think (as long as you're willing to cut corners and not spend much once you get there!). It's definitely not for the hardcore ski enthusiast – the slopes are almost all intermediate, with a decent selection of beginner. But if you want a flashy, glamorous, and highly entertaining holiday with skiing thrown into the mix, St. Moritz is the place for you!

St. Moritz focuses on providing all-around winter fun, so in addition to skiing, they boast winter golf, polo, and cricket (yes, in the snow), as well as fantastic fireworks displays and family activities. The town site, while not particularly attractive, is comfortable with its status as a tourist magnet, and provides plenty to see and do. You're sure to find something to your taste in St. Moritz!

Furthermore, the resort's surroundings are some of the most breathtaking Switzerland has to offer. A family hike will lead to spellbound silence as you gaze at the snow-covered Alps in all their glory.

And there's certainly no shortage of sophisticated, luxurious places to stay and eat – after all, that's what St. Moritz is known for!
