holiday flat Via Salet 10

This bright apartment, sleeping seven in three bedrooms, is perfect for a group or family who are looking for something in a fantastic location, close to all amenities, but aren't looking for high-end decor and luxury. Linen and towels are all included in the cost. It is a 5 minute walk to the piste which will take you down to the Signal gondola which is the most convenient way to get up to the extensive skiing at Corviglia. It's only two-minutes away from bakery, restaurants, co-op and bus stop. The buses from the end of the road will take you direct to St Moritz Dorf, station, Pontresina, Corvatsch. It's a 10 min. walk to the wonderful swimming pool and spa with jacuzzi pool, the skating rink and the cross country skiing tracks ant the sailing club.

The flat has great views on three sides (east, south and west) to St Moritz Dorf, the lake and surrounding mountains.

There is one double room, with king-size bed, a room with a double bed and a single, and a room with two single beds.  The open plan living-dining room has a balcony and windows on two sides.  There is a newly renovated separate kitchen, two bathrooms (one with bath with shower, sink and toilet and one with shower, toilet and sink).  I am very happy for people to get in touch with me to ask questions about the apartment or the locality. 

The flat is on the 4th floor with a lift. There is a shared ski/boot-room, shared washing machine, dryer and drying room, and free wifi.

Other leisure facilities: Best Things to Do in St Moritz (that aren't skiing)
So so many highlights of things to do when you are not skiing in and around St Moritz. Here’s the top 10:

Watch the races on the Olympia Bob: The world’s only natural ice bob run (there is no concrete underneath). They practice every day in the season but if you are there for a race it is even better. You can walk down a really good footpath from the top near the Kulm Hotel all the way to celerina and get the bus or train back. Stop at the bar on the amazing horseshoe bend to watch the action. They do 'taxi' Bob rides if you want a real thrill.
Relaxing Sledging: Top day out. Take the train to Preda, hire a slege there and head down the old road, that is shut in winter, to Berguns. It is 6km long and really picturesque as it winds over and under the World Heritage Site railway line. When you get there, lots of Gluwein stalls await and the train back up to do it again.
Eyes on stalks sledging: The sledge-run down from Muottas Muragl is absolutely terrifying, You will need your helmet. I was convinced I was going to die all the way down. Before you launch down, a drink at the Ice Bar at the top would be useful. There are also lovely lovely walks out into the mountains here, where Ibex live, and there’s a restaurant/hotel too (obviously). Costs included in the ski pass, so you can do after a morning on the slopes.
Afternoon tea at Hanselman: Amazing cake, amazing pastries. Queues out of the door
Ursli path: a lovely walking path themed around the fantastic children’s book ‘A Bell for Ursli’ taking you up to Salastrains. Take a sledge and kids can sledge down (it’s not officially a sledging route so be prepared to be frowned at by Swiss people). The path finishes at the Salastrains nursery slope where the hut that was used to film the original Heidi TV series now lives. Go in. Be Heidi and Geiserpeter.  Read “A Bell for Ursli” before you go.
The Cresta Run: The last bastion of the English toff at St Moritz. And rather last century with their continuing ban on women. There are amble plus-fours and vintage leather footwear, or cross the road to the Olympia Bob and watch the women's Swiss skeleton team demonstrate how it is really done. See video
Skating, swimming and curling: St Moritz Bad has a lovely skating rink you can see from the flat but there are outdoor rinks all over the place. And there’s a new refurbished pool, which surely must be the most luxurious public pool in the world. It has an gigantic outdoor jacuzzi pool where you can watch the sun set on the snow through the steam rising from the water.  You can also try curling on an outdoor rink Surely nothing more romantic than that.
White Turf: If you are there in February it is peak ‘St Moritz’. This really is the Season to visit if you can. St Moritz does events impeccably, like nowhere else. There is everything from dance music on the slopes to horse racing, polo, night time horse racing on the frozen lake, classic car rallies, classical music, food, and of course ski races, Bob races, and the famous Engadine ski marathon. List of some of the events here.
Night Skiing: Corvatch has a floodlit ski slope. I’ve always wanted to go on one of their Friday ski parties (7pm-2am). Loud music and lots of slope-side bars.

Excursion possibilities: Some Relaxing Activities for Apres Ski
Engadine museum
One of St Moritz's oldest buildings on  the road between Via Salet and St Moritz dorf. It is now a museum about Engadine life and is a good morning spent if the skiing isn't so good. It is under renovation until December 2016.

Segantini Museum
Segantini was an artist who lived in the area in the late 19th century. The museum is the largest collection of his works. It is a short and beautiful walk up the hill from the flat.

A walk to the Morteratsch Glacier 
A beautiful walk and a good lesson in glacial retreat. The Morteratsch glacier used to end at the train station and it is now a 5km walk to the ice-fall at the end of the glacier. It is well signposted and markers show the position of the glacier by year as you walk. While you wait for the return train, a coffee or a meal at the hotel is highly recommended. Have one of their Engadine specialities: spatzli, pizzocheri, rösti or capuns.
Take the train, direction Tirano, and alight at Morteratsch, about 20mins from Ponterisina. If you have a ski pass, the train and bus travel is included.

An evening up the mountain
The St Moritz ski pass is valid in the evenings for public transport and mountain railways. A trip up to Muottos Muragl for a drink in the evening gives a fantastic view of lights down the valley. Get the bus or the train to the mountain railway. Or check if the restaurant at Piz Nair is open and go for a bit of après ski at altitude.

St Moritz has built a brand-new swimming pool and spa, with a central tower of (soundproofed) flumes, rooms of peace and tranquillity and a huge outdoor jacuuzzi pool.

Location description: St. Moritz – glamorous, elegant and steeped in tradition
St. Moritz is one of the most tradition-steeped holiday resorts around. Even its name is protected as a quality brand and all over the world is equated with style, elegance and class. According to legend, St. Moritz was the birthplace of winter tourism in the Alps (1864), and it has also hosted two Olympic Winter Games (1928 and 1948), including the FIS Alpine World Ski Championship in 2017, an event that was hosted here for the fifth time. In future, too, St. Moritz will continue to act as THE venue for major sport- and cultural events. Nevertheless,
St. Moritz originally owes its importance to its mineral springs, which people have been flocking to for over 3,000 years and which did much to establish the village early on as a summer health resort. Nowadays, St. Moritz is a guarantee in both summer and winter for superlative leisure and sporting activities, cultural highlights, varied shopping facilities and world-class events.Via Salet 10
