Nira Alpina
Some people use the winter season as an excuse to skip out on the cold and head to the tropics. Others embrace it. If you're among the latter, booking your winter getaway at Nira Alpina is a good idea. Set at the base of Mt. Corvatsch just minutes from St. Moritz, this upscale hotel offers rooms ranging from 20 square meter Mountain View affairs to the 50 square meter Alpine Junior Suite, all of which offer a large terrace or balcony, panoramic windows overlooking the Engadin mountains, a modern granite bathroom with a deep bath and waterfall shower, and free Wi-Fi. Also on-site is a spa, three restaurants, a rooftop bar, and a bakery, but it's the outdoor activities — skiing and snowboarding in the winter, with direct access to the Corvatsch cable car station, and hiking, sailing, swimming or windsurfing in the summer — that truly set it apart.
