Among the world\'s finest hotels, the luxurious Grand national was established on the banks of Lake Lucerne more than a century ago. The grandeur of hotel\'s stunning French facade is equalled by the Grand National\'s public and private interior.

Advantages: being St,. Moritz Disadvantages: slopes severly overcrowded
...We skied in St. Moritz for a day while staying in the much cheaper Livigno in Italy, from where you can book day excursions to St. Moritz. Be careful to purchase the right lift pass in Livigno, which will allow you a discount on the expensive day pass in St. Moritz. I would recommend skiing in St. Moritz just for the experience and the sake of having been there. There is a good variety of runs, mainly suited to the upper intermeidate skier (and above). The red runs are more challenging than in Livigno on the whole, but the skiing experience is severely marred by the fact that most slopes in St. Moritz are totally over-crowded, and therefore very accident-prone. You can see some skiers in expensive outfits taking private lessons in order to progress from their snowplough turns. Be sure to stock up on your Swiss chocolates...

Advantages: High in the alps, Duty Free Disadvantages: Long Transfers
...expect good quality snow right through the season. The village itself is along the banks of a river, with the two skiing mountains reaching up on either side. The skiing is separated by the valley, but buses can easily be caught between them
Day trips to StMoritz are also available for those who would like to see where the rich and famous ski. We went on this trip and although it probably wasn’t worth the money, being able to say, “Of course I’ve skied at StMoritz darling. I was there just after the millennium.” is quite nice.
Disadvantages
The main disadvantage of Livigno is the long transfer time from Bergamo Airport. It is generally in the order of 5 hours. We were unlucky as fog and mist made us divert to Milan Airport. The resulting delays meant that we didn’t get to our hotel until 9 pm. This is after leaving home at 4 am...

Advantages: Scenery, skiing, EVERYTHING..... Disadvantages: Can get snowbound by road....CHECK!!!!!
...facilities (closed until mid December) seemed to be available.
When we arrived there had still been no snow. Even the peaks were almost naked after the summer.
The second day we began to drive to StMoritz (about 20-25 miles on a good road) and the snow began to fall with a vengeance. We had to turn back, it was a blizzard. We retreated into the house, ate a little and waited. The snow was hardly more than spindrift by the time twilight crept in upon us. We decided to venture out, into a completely private winter wonderland. There were no tourists, most of the locals were taking their annual holiday.
Everything was fresh, white and magical. We stood on the far side of the river and watched the lights come on in the little town. It truelly was a private Christmas eve out of a childhood dream.
To recommend Scuol for skiing alone would...
