- 1In St. Moritz, the 4.5 km Lej da San Murezzan lake loop linking St. Moritz-Dorf and St. Moritz-Bad past the Mauritius Spring chapel, the Muottas Muragl Senda Filosofica panorama over the four Engadin lakes, and the Val Roseg trail from Pontresina with horse-carriage option are within reach of every hotel on this list, good for morning and evening outings.
- 2St. Moritz is the alpine luxury benchmark of Graubünden's Engadin valley at 1856 m, where 322 sun days a year (the highest in Switzerland) light up the frozen Lej da San Murezzan winter lake, the historic Cresta Run skeleton track, the 1907 Muottas Muragl panoramic funicular, the Diavolezza glacier cable car at 2978 m, and the UNESCO Rhaetian Railway Glacier and Bernina Express, pets are a normal part of street life, café terraces, and local shops.
- 3Hotels selected for this guide are specifically in St. Moritz-Dorf around Via Maistra and the Schiefer Turm, St. Moritz-Bad on the lakeshore and at the Bronze Age Mauritius mineral spring, and the surrounding Upper Engadin villages of Pontresina, Sils Maria and Silvaplana, where pet infrastructure is densest and local restaurants routinely provide water bowls and terrace access.
Best season: spring & autumn
