The Swiss Germans are delightfully eager to please so keep them contented by offering them the opportunity to make your lunch reservations at Mathis Food Affairs on Corviglia. We found a 14:30 reservation the ideal time to take pleasure in a hearty lunch and the day’s most vigorous and jovial crowd while allowing for plenty of time for a day of play “en piz”.

To find this culinary sparkler head downstairs at the lively yellow-colored Corviglia station and don’t be shy about making yourself known to anyone who will listen. The maître'd (who is gracious and welcoming once you catch his attention) also seems to serve as headwaiter, wine waiter, cheese cart employee and caviar attendant.

Only and unless a life-threatening allergy prohibits-start your meal with the “Bisque di Aragosta” and this is no time to consider passing on carbs; the whole grain bread induces earnest infatuation.

Because the mid-mountain Corviglia station is serviced by the Salastrains from town centre St. Moritz Dorf it is the model spot to meet up with your friends who prefer "spa" to "schuss" and have spent their day at Kempinski High Alpine Spa in town instead.

Bergrestaurants

Some of the most superb things about skiing on "the continent" are the on piste dining opportunities. First step, examine your piste map like Sir Frances Drake, all on piste restaurants in St. Moritz are clearly noted. Then plot your turns like Jean-Claude Killy to be sure you blaze a trail to every "Gutburgerlich" and "Chefs Table Mitten in der Kuche."

A great first stop of the day on Piz Nair (the most directly accessible piste from the city centre St. Moritz Dorf) is Turtz.

An outpost of the highly acclaimed Suvretta Hotel, Trutz serves up hearty views and among other gastronomic delights the Griscon barley soup, tortellini or polenta with gorgonzola. Or grab a "sweet temptation", snuggle into one of their delightful deck chairs, toss the monogrammed throw around your shoulders and revel in the magic moment!

L'art Et Le Savoir-Faire

http://www.badruttspalace.com/renaissance

After a strenuous day watching the ponies tuck into Badrutt's Palace for an aperitif or two. Referred to simply as "The Palace" this is "das hotel" in St. Moritz. The Renaissance Bar will welcome you warmly. Whilst you sip your bellini you'll barely notice the gratis crisps and marcona almonds; you'll be too busy simply feasting your eyes on l'art et le savior-faire going on around you.

Hours: 11am-midnight

Dress code: jackets required after 7:30*

*We spotted Guy Richie heading in just past 9pm, jacket and all.

The European Snow Meeting 2009

One of the things you must do in your lifetime is find yourself lucky enough to be in St. Moritz, Switzerland in February. While technically a day of horse racing it is much more about spectacle than sport. With a serious emphasis on sipping Nicolas Feuillatte champagne in the sun (what else would you do in the so called "Champagne climate") you'll witness attractive performances and entertaining pursuits...and we're not talking about the horses.

Billed as the social highlight of the St. Moritz social season it is a milieu not to be missed.

The "Champagner-Klima" of St. Moritz is most certainly a locale well worth spending some time reveling in...this week we'll take you on a literary sojourn.
