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.

Morteratsch Glacier The Morteratsch Glacier is a historically significant glacier that has been systematically monitored since 1878. Over the last 150 years, the glacier has retreated by almost three kilometers, and its ice volume has decreased by two-thirds. The Bernina Railway, which began operating in 1908, was then located just a stone's throw from the glacier's terminus. Since then, the glacier has retreated considerably, and the movement of its surroundings is no longer visible. Text / Source: wikipedia.org https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morteratschgletscher
