Think of fresh air, leisurely picnics and sparkling lake views when you wake up in the morning at St Moritz’s most elegant hotel, the Kulm. The summer season in the Engadine is special and a true experience for nature lovers that should not be missed this summer.
Whether you start your day with a dip in the rather large spa pool, or with a wild swim in one of the nearby lakes, or with a sunbath in the wildflower meadows, or with a hike, or simply with a cup of Sencha on the hotel’s summer terrace, the Engadine has a therapeutic power and is a must not only for nature lovers and sports enthusiasts. Spend a long weekend at the “top of the world”.
Here are 10 reasons why you should spend a summer weekend at the Kulm Hotel:
A ROOM WITH A VIEW
The newly designed rooms by architect Pierre-Yves Rochon, with lots of Aven wood panels and a clean design, most of which face the lake, will make your morning awakening a special experience, not just a beautiful view of the lake, but a sensation of positive energy and natural power for which the Engadine is famous.
THE KULM COUNTRY CLUB
Feels completely different in summer than in winter, when the ice ring is the centre of attraction.
Relax in the south-facing suntrap when the days are a little chilly and enjoy the sun or watch the game.
NATURAL FEELING
You want to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Whether it be for a wild swim, a sunbath in the wild flower meadows or an outdoor yoga stretch.
Wear your hotel’s bathrobe in comfort.
WILD SWIMMING
An early morning dip in a cold lake is the best thing you can do for your health, so visit these wild water spots during your stay and get addicted to cold water swimming.
Lej Marsch
Because of its marshland and shallow waters, this lake has milder temperatures than others. It is beautifully situated in the forest between St. Moritz and Silvaplana.
Lej da Staz
Two spacious jetties invite you to sunbathe after your morning swim.
FOREST BATHING
With Anne-Marie Flammersfeld, who will tell you all about the natural eco-system found in the woods and mountains around the lake, a mindful, multi-sensory immersion.
NEW ROOMS
The rooms are designed so that you can open all the windows and enjoy the fresh mountain air day and night for a good night’s sleep.
MORNING WALK
Lake St. Moritz is just a 10-minute walk down the hill from the Kulm Hotel. Start your morning with a walk or jog around the lake, watch the village of St. Moritz awaken and see the sailing boats slowly move along.
FRESH FLOWERS
Be aware that there are lots of wild flowers and fresh summer flowers everywhere. The power of the blossoms, the scent and the energy is a treat just to look at throughout the hotel and country club.
SUNDOWNER
Even if it gets a little chilly at night, your terrace is the place to be to enjoy the change of natural colours and the cinematic view, resting after a steam bath in the spa instead of the indoor relaxation room.
A CONSERVATORY
Nice in summer too. Did you know that the decorative architecture of the lobby was created by Italy’s great illusionist Renzo Mongiardiano to create a Jardin d`Hiver in the hotel lobby?
