“Skiing with an Olympian” programs are becoming a common trend at ski resorts and really what else can top that ski experience? Well, the Carlton Hotel St. Moritz found just that – a way to top it!
As if a private butler, 24-hour limousine service, ski shuttle, full access to the Carlton Spa area and more, isn't enough of a package, the Carlton Hotel St. Moritz is also welcoming guests to try out the full product line from top-notch Swiss ski manufacturer, Zai. Oh, and of course you’ll also be skiing alongside two Swiss Olympians.
Antoine Dénériaz, downhill Olympic winner in 2006, and Franco Cavegn, former Olympic and World Cup skier, will accompany guests while they try out the full product line from top-notch Swiss ski manufacturer, Zai.
What really separates this experience from the other “Skiing with an Olympian” programs, other than the five-star amenities mentioned above, is the chance to try out ski products that are among the most expensive in the world. Hand-crafted from the very finest materials, including wood, stone and patented carbon fibers, Zai has redefined the perimeters of modern ski design as seen with their recent Bentley partnership. Just like a Bentley car the ski experience is one of unsurpassed smoothness, stability, and speed.
The “Zai Ski VIP" special is available starting on January 12 through January 28, 2015 and again from February 23, 2015 to April 5, 2015.
For guests visiting St. Moritz this 2014/2015 winter season and do not particularly enjoy skiing but always wanted to explore other winter sports, than this is best time to go.
St. Moritz and the Engadin Valley are celebrating 150 years of winter tourism and with experiences such as the Carlton Hotel’s “The Bet,” guests can explore the many different activities that have been a part of St. Moritz throughout the many winters spent here. “The Bet” experience is reminiscent of “the bet” that transformed this locale into an international hotspot and includes a ride in a Bob Taxi, Bavarian Curling, a Cresta Run beginners’ course and more.
The original bet involved four skeptic English guests not believing the Engadin winter sunshine could be enjoyable, and a hotelier who undoubtedly won the bet as the four skeptics stayed in St. Moritz from Christmas to Easter 150 years ago. http://en.carlton-stmoritz.ch/
