Curator’s statement
St. Moritz has a certain energy you won’t find anywhere else, largely thanks to its legendary "champagne climate" that keeps the town drenched in sunlight nearly all year long. It’s a place where the air feels sharper and the scenery looks more vivid, providing the perfect setting for what is arguably the most concentrated collection of world-class dining in the Alps. For me, the real draw is how the town manages to be both high-octane and incredibly refined; you can spend a morning out in the bright mountain sun and then spend the evening tucked away in a historic dining room enjoying a meal that is genuinely artful. It is a destination that feels like a celebration of the good life, where every detail—from the service to the scenery—is held to an impossibly high standard.
