The St. Moritz outpost of Loro Piana is closed on Sundays so why not spend the day messing about the rest of the Engadin Valley and scamper on to Klosters for lunch. Spend the extra 5 chf. and enjoy the generous windows of the “Panoramawagon” on the achingly clean and efficient Swiss Rail and you won’t miss a bit of the “chocolate box” quaint scenery en route.
Depart at 10:06 and you’ll arrive in Klosters just ahead of the noon lunch hour. Saunter through town and pick up a classic Swiss felt hunting hat - the very Klosters Swiss twist on the “cowboy hat” and THE way to keep the snow out of your eyes here.
Take lunch at Chesa Grischuna. The definition of cosy is “enjoying or affording comforting warmth and shelter especially in a small space” or “having or fostering a warm or friendly and informal atmosphere”. The exactness to which Chesa Grischuna delivers on “cosy” is almost implausible. Their lavish use of pinewood is splendid.
If possible make your table reservations beforehand and know that Chesa Grischuna also doubles as one of the "Historic Hotels of Europe" so should you find the enchanting Greübunden atmosphere too irresistible to leave or you've taken too much pleasure in the Weingut Donabaum Riesling there’s a convenient place to hang that new hat of yours for the night.
