Giardino Mountain
Winter hideaway in the Engadine mountains


The white peaks of Switzerland’s Engadine mountains serve as a serene backdrop for this consummate winter retreat not far from St Moritz in Champfèr. Even in the dead of winter, its 78 rooms, with their subtle natural tones and endless views, radiate a certain warmth, while the hotel’s three in-house restaurants – ranging from Mediterranean to Asian – hit the spot when it comes to the après ski experience. Those not hitting the region’s sublime slopes can luxuriate at the immaculate Dipiù spa.
