 DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIVIDUAL SWISS LOCATIONS

Silvaplana Corvatsch /Engadine – St Moritz

St. Moritz is one of the most renowned holiday resorts of the world. Chic, elegant and exclusive with a pronouncedly cosmopolitan ambiance it is situated at 5624 ft (1856 m) above sea level, in the middle of the lake dotted landscape of the Upper Engadine. The "dry, sparkling champagne climate" has become legendary and the famous sun of St. Moritz shines on an average of 322 days a year.

Up in the magnificent mountains of Engadine is the beautiful spot of Corvatsch and our screen is located in middle station where the numerous restaurants and bars play host to the thousands of visitors. This is a well known spot for après ski and attracts well funded, young people who are interested in sports, fashion and wellness.

With its Romanish heritage, its proximity to Italy and mostly German speaking population St. Moritz is characterized by the influences from three different cultures. It originally gained its significance from its mineral springs, which had been known for their curative effects for some 3,000 years already. Next to its picture book location along and above the lake, St. Moritz offers an attractive blend of nature, culture, sports, activity and quiet. St. Moritz is the cradle of alpine winter tourism (1864) and sports (1884). It set the stage for two Olympic Winter Games and a great number of ski and bob championships.

The sun of St. Moritz is more intense (southern exposure!), the "champagne climate" is dryer and the snow is much more likely to hold than anywhere else. These components, along with the lakes cape and valley groove of the Upper Engadine, provide the background for a host of attractions which are unique with regard to quality and diversity: alpine and Nordic cross-country skiing (marathon!), Cresta Run, Bob Run, horse and greyhound races on the frozen lake, cricket, polo and golf tournaments, Olympic ski jump, Gourmet Festival, Snow & Symphony (the music festival of St. Moritz) and many more.

The name "St. Moritz" has become so popular, that it ended up registered as a trademark and internationally copyright protected.



Jungfraujoch – Grindelwald – First

Network of 213 km of trails spreads over a vast expanse of slopes, set in two majestic valleys about an hour’s drive from Bern, the Swiss Capital. The backdrop created by the Jungfrau, Mönch and Eiger mountains is one you see on posters the world over. This series of valleys is the definition of picture postcard beautiful.

The Jungfrau region has three major ski areas accessible from its twin-valley towns. For many Americans the Jungfraujoch is best known for the Eiger, a 13,026 foot peak made famous by Clint Eastwood’s movie, The Eiger Sanction, that came out in 1975. Although the movie is over 25 years old, the view hasn’t changed.

The best-known resort is Grindelwald First a picture-postcard settlement nestled at the foot of 10,000 foot peaks about 30 minutes by train or car from Interlaken.
Our screen is located in the downtown pedestrian area on the side of the main cable car building and will reach thousands of consumers daily.




Zermatt – Trockener Steg

St Moritz may have the glamour, Verbier may have the cool, Wengen may have the pistes, but ZERMATT beats them all – Zermatt has the Matterhorn. No other natural or human structure in the whole country is so immediately recognizable; indeed, in most peoples minds the Matterhorn stands for Switzerland, like the Eiffel Tower stands for France. Part of the reason it’s so famous is that is stands alone, its impossibly pointy shape sticking up from an otherwise crowded horizon above Zermatt Village. But you get the feeling that it would be famous even if it stood within a chain of peaks; there’s just something about it that’s bizarrely mesmerising to see for real, and it may well be the most memorable part of your whole holiday.

Emerging from Zermatt station is an experience in itself: this one little village – which has managed, much to its credit, to cling on to its old brown chalets and atmospheric twisting alleys – welcome everybody, regardless of financial status, and the station square is where all worlds collide. Backpackers and hikers rub shoulder with high society glitterati amidst a fluster of tour groups, electric taxis and horse drawn carriages, but everyone has come to see the mountain. Zermatt has no off season – it’s crowded year round – but the crowds never seems to matter. You may have to shoulder your way down the main street, but the terrain all around is expansive enough that with a little effort you could vanish into the wilderness, leaving everyone else behind.

One of the biggest locations of Zermatt is Klein Matterhorn (Little Matterhorn) or Trockener Steg area, where our screen is located 2,800 meters up in the mountains where there are numerous restaurants / bars and ski classes. Our screen will be seen by thousands of people daily. This is the largest area and it is here that you connect with the ultimate intermediate skiing experience in the world

From Trockener Steg you are again confronted with one of skiing’s engineering marvels, the cable car to the Klein of the cabin and watch as you approach the top stations (the highest cable car in Europe). Try and imagine building this thing! Once you arrive, you walk through a tunnel of about 100 yards. For a diversion, you can visit the ice cave that’s accessible from the tunnel. Or continue down the tunnel and come out on what is certainly the single most breathtaking view in skiing.
