Things to see and do St. Moritz

This leaning tower, a curiosity in the city, dates back to the 13th century. It is 33 m high and inclined at 5.5 degrees (its inclination is higher than that of the Tower of Pisa). It is the last vestige of the church of St. Mauritius, which was partially demolished in 1893. Rehabilitation work has been regularly undertaken: the latest was in 2013 to reduce the angle of inclination. If you're passing through St. Moritz in winter, stop here: the sight under the snow is worth the trip. A trip to take pictures with the family.

Above St. Moritz, you can discover the original alpine hut from the film Heidi. For your information, the adventures of the little alpine girl were set by the author, the Zurich writer Johanna Spyri, on the slopes of the Falknis, near Maienfeld, on the Austrian border. The film was made in 1952 and made the courageous and endearing little Swiss mountain girl famous all over the world.

Set in the very beautiful villa of the artist, the museum presents paintings, sketches, studies of this painter with naive style, which was also writer (1891-1978).

Opened in 1908 and designed by the architect Nicolaus Hartmann, the museum is dedicated to the Alpine landscape painter Giovanni Segantini. The Italian painter, who came from the Symbolist movement of the late 19th century, spent the last five years of his life in St. Moritz. This building, which was erected only nine years after his death, is a kind of memorial. His most famous work, the triptych Werden, Sein, Vergehen (Becoming, Being, Disappearing), a masterpiece of dazzlingly realistic light and colour, is on display here.
