A short stop in La Punt is worthwhile. This is mainly due to the striking white house – the Chesa Merleda. This is a prominent example of Engadine architecture.

The story of St. Moritz begins in 1864 The story of St. Moritz, as we know it today, begins in 1864, when hotelier Johannes Badrutt made a bet with his guests from Great Britain. He promised that not only the summer, but also the St. Moritz winter would be so pleasant that on sunny days one could enjoy the sun on the terrace without a jacket. Should his promise prove false, the hotelier would pay for their travel and winter stay. Wrapped head to toe in furs, the group of men crossed the Julier Pass the following December. Upon arriving in St. Moritz, the sky was clear, the sun warm, and Badrutt stood before them to greet them without a jacket and with his shirtsleeves rolled up. Winter tourism was born.
