Compared to some of the other city lakes in Switzerland, Lake St Moritz is relatively small. However, it is in a beautiful setting and is itself, very picturesque. There is a flat path around the entire lake, for walking or cycling, as well as plenty of benches for sitting and relaxing and watching the boating activity. We saw the lake during a stormy evening and a sunny day, offering contrasting views. Naturally, the lake is at the bottom of the town, but there are covered escalators between the station and the town to make the walk down to (and up from) the lake much easier.

Beautiful lake, reachable by a very scenic train ride from Chur. We were unable to get seat reservations on the popular Bernina Express, but Tourist Information told us that regular trains offer just as good views. So we travelled from Zurich to Chur (by train) then another train to St Moritz. Total travel time from Zurich to St Moritz was about 4 hours. This journey was on the Bernina Express train line but in a regular train, but with just as good views (just not in a panoramic carriage which you have to pay seat reservation charges for). The Chur to St Moritz train was very full, and we found ourselves in a carriage with seats facing in to the centre of the carriage and wide viewing windows. It was probably the best carriage to take photos from. The seats didn't look very comfortable but actually they were fine, and in any case you had to spend part of the journey standing up to admire all the passing scenery and take photos! At St Moritz we walked down to the Lake and had lunch overlooking the lake and surrounding mountains. This was home to the winter Olympics (twice!) . Then we did the return journey to Zurich. So a long day, but much of it spent on a very scenic train journey.

I visited the Lake in St. Moritz during the event The Ice. The idea of putting precious supercars and classics on the ice is crazy, really. But it is a place to visit in the winter time. Ice skating on the lake is unforgettable!

We visited in Jan 24 after they had a decent amount of snow and the whole place looked like a winter wonderland. The lake has a nice path that appeared to go around the whole lake, but we chose to walk on the frozen lake itself. Simply gorgeous!!

Stopped over for lunch in St Moritz for a few hours after boarding the Bernina Express from Tirano. Arrived on time and with luggage for an onward journey to Chur, the luggage lockers for 8CHR on platform 1 were very welcome. Lovely warm café serving snacks opposite station, it has an inside and outside terrace with view over lake, friendly staff. Plan ahead if eating, especially if you are on a carriage at back of train, you could be behind other passengers getting into centre which isnt far to walk. Buses and taxis also available, I managed to take in the poster collection on the way back to the station. Take the escalator to the viewing gallery, posters provide brief history of events from many years ago. For photo opportunity, it was great spot also to take a snap at the lake. Toilets available also. There is a walk around the lake, check it out if you have time, I didnt but I've heard it really is along a beautiful route, definitely visit, you wont be disappointed.

Beautiful views and walks along this mountain lake. Definitely visit it in summer as we were twice in St.Moritz and it's way more impressive in summer to see this lake! Although St.Mortiz can be a lot of fun in winter!

The lake is beautiful and the town of St. Moritz is very nice too. For some reason I thought of it as a railroad hub (which it is) but it happened to be a nice place to spend a couple of hours (or even days). The settings and scenery are magnificent.
