The Winter Home of Billionaires: St. Moritz, Switzerland

St. Moritz has been attracting the world's elite to embody the billionaire lifestyle for over 150 years, transforming from a modest health resort into winter's most exclusive address. ------------------------------------------ Inside The Secret Billionaire Winter Paradise: Gstaad, Switzerland --    • Inside The Secret Billionaire Winter ...   ------------------------------------------ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Introduction 0:50 Chapter 1: The Billionaire's Snow Globe 3:53 Chapter 2: When Bronze Met Gold 6:46 Chapter 3: The Bet That Changed Everything 10:05 Chapter 4: Where Winter Dreams Take Flight 13:03 Chapter 5: After the Last Run ------------------------------------------ The town's collection of prestigious hotels includes Badrutt's Palace, the Carlton Hotel, and the Kulm Hotel, where suites can command upwards of $180,000 per stay, while the Carlton boasts St. Moritz's largest penthouse suite at 386 square meters. The resort's remarkable journey began in 1864 when hotelier Johannes Badrutt made an audacious bet with his English guests, offering to cover their winter travel expenses if they found St. Moritz's climate anything less than pleasant. His gamble paid off spectacularly, transforming St. Moritz from a sleepy village with 75 beds to a bustling resort boasting over 2,000 in just four decades, while pioneering luxury amenities like Switzerland's first electric light and the country's first hydro-electric plant. Today, the resort offers 350 kilometers of ski slopes across four main areas, where even the snow seems personally curated, and activities range from moonlight skiing to private hang-gliding sessions arranged through hotel concierges. The social calendar proves equally impressive, with the White Turf horse race and Snow Polo World Cup on the frozen Lake St. Moritz drawing the global jet-set, while Via Serlas stands ready with luxury brands like Versace, Cartier, and Gucci. Many visitors arrive via private jet at the nearby Samedan Engadin airport or opt for helicopter transfers, while guest lists regularly feature names like Claudia Schiffer, Liz Hurley, Kate Moss, Robert De Niro, and various European royalty. The resort's sporting heritage includes hosting the Winter Olympics in both 1928 and 1948, while the Olympia Bob Run remains the world's only natural ice-track for bobsledding, crafted by hand each season. As twilight settles, days on pristine slopes give way to evenings of refined indulgence, with Michelin-starred restaurants, legendary nightspots like King's Club, and Devil's Place claiming the world's largest whiskey collection. The Carlton Hotel's Bentley fleet collects guests after their ski runs, while sommeliers curate wine experiences that rival their guests' family histories in depth and prestige. What truly sets St. Moritz apart is its masterful balance of opulence and discretion, where European supermodels might share your gondola or Swedish royalty might occupy the next spa treatment room - though staff would sooner ski backwards down a black run than confirm such details. The resort has crafted an atmosphere where debating between morning heliskiing or private shopping appointments at Gucci feels as natural as choosing between toast or croissants. Through it all, St. Moritz maintains its position as winter's crown jewel by proving that true excellence never goes out of style - it simply ages like the vintage champagne served on mountainside terraces. This Alpine paradise continues to demonstrate why it remains the ultimate winter address, where luxury isn't just about price tags and prestigious labels, but about moments of perfect refinement. After 150 years of perfecting winter luxury, St. Moritz doesn't need to brag about its status - because the mountains do that for them.
