A circa 1856 icon with six humming restaurants, a 9-hole golf course, 21,000-square-foot spa, and activities galore.

Just for grown ups. Kiddo’s are pampered with VIK freebies ranging from ice cream to cocoa; their own kid’s club (foosball included); and a kid’s menu that’s thoroughly Swiss, whether they want a croque monsieur or veal paillard.

Winter vacays weren’t really a thing until Arosa Kulm Hotel & Alpin Spa popularized them in the 19th century. And why not? Cold weather lures here abound: cross country skiing the Engadine valley; tobogganing; trying curling in an ice arena; and shredding the gnar (just how the travelers of yore put it) down St. Moritz’s manicured slopes—to name just a few options. Of course, summertime thrills are equally fabulous, ranging from mountaineering to SUP-ing. Want to check into your room and never leave? Many are fresh from a revamp by Pierre-Yves Rochon, so you just may. We love the 409-square-foot Deluxe Double Room; many have a private balcony overlooking St. Moritzersee lake and the surrounding cradle of Alps.

The posh, well-stocked gym has floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the mountainscape, plus yoga, boxing and pilates sessions with a pro upon request.

After your morning on the ski slopes, you’re ready for two very important things: a well-deserved nap, and a couple spa treatments. Today you opt for a detox seaweed bath and a warm spiced mud wrap that leaves you feeling as fresh as the dusting of snow that’s falling, like powdered sugar, just beyond your door.
