Overview

The history of the Kulm is effectively the history of winter tourism itself. In 1864, the hotel’s founder, Johannes Badrutt, made a legendary bet with British summer guests that they would enjoy the St. Moritz sun even in winter—a bet he won, birthing the first winter season in the Alps. The hotel occupies a sprawling estate overlooking Lake St. Moritz and serves as the home of the Cresta Run and the Bob Run. Its architecture is a palatial evolution of the Engadine style, representing the height of aristocratic Swiss hospitality and the enduring spirit of the "Golden Era" of mountain exploration.
