It’s the perfect combination: an adventurous day of hiking or skiing, followed by a rejuvenating night at the spa. Here’s a sample itinerary through Graubünden, a canton of eastern Switzerland renowned for thrill-seeking and unwinding. When you’re ready to lace up your boots, you can discover the true meaning of silence in the Swiss Alps.

DAYS 1–3: ESCAPE TO NATURE IN AROSA

Tschuggen Grand Hotel

Wilderness takes centerstage at Tschuggen Grand Hotel, perched 5,900+ feet above sea level. This mountain oasis is the only hotel in Switzerland with its own private mountain railway, the Tschuggen Express, featuring two modern panorama cabins.

After a long day on the slopes or trails, indulge in the Tschuggen Bergoase spa, designed by star architect Mario Botta. Built entirely into the mountain, the spa offers four floors of relaxation and wellness, and forms an unmistakable visual landmark with its futuristic sail windows — the perfect backdrop for a photo op.

DAY 4: RIDE BERNINA EXPRESS TO ST. MORITZ

After waking up to the serenity of Arosa, the Bernina Express will take you on a 1st class, 2.5- hour journey through tunnels and over wildly romantic gorges. Upon arrival in St. Moritz, you’ll feel on “top of the world” — a beloved colloquial phrase that rings true.

DAYS 5–6: SKIING AND SHOPPING IN ST. MORITZ

Kulm Hotel

For more than 165 years, travelers have been drawn to the timeless allure of Kulm Hotel, where every moment promises tranquility and sophistication. When you step into your suite, the aroma of fine pine and the breathtaking views over Lake St. Mortiz will instantly calm your senses.

Ski-goers rise early to enjoy unspolit, freshly prepared slopes. The Chantarella funicular and the Marguns gondola run daily up St. Moritz’s local mountain, the Corviglia. Afterward, go on a leisurely shopping spree among some of the world’s finest upscale boutiques.

DAY 7: PRIVATE HELICOPTER RIDE TO VALS

Clink glasses with Louis Roederer Cristal when your 7132 helicopter pilot takes a stop on a remote glacier (dependent on weather conditions). Complete your panoramic flight through the Swiss Alps upon landing in Vals. A private transfer will take you to the repose of 1732 Hotel.

DAYS 8–9: IMMERSE IN TRANQUILITY IN VALS

7132 Hotel 5°

Vals is legendary for its highly mineralized thermal hot spring. Swiss architect Peter Zumthor designed the thermal baths at 7132 Hotel 5° from 60,000 slabs of Vals quartzite. The building oozes with timeless quality and subtle elegance; it has become a place of pilgrimage for travelers interested in architecture.

The 7132 Hotel 5° staff will welcome you to the art of alpine luxury, and your suite will offer clear views of Vals’ surrounding mountains. I can’t wait to share all the details.
