Nira Alpina, St Moritz, Switzerland

Nira Alpina is perched above the idyllic village of Surlej just five minutes away from the glamour of St. Moritz and the gateway to some of Switzerland highest peaks, including Corvatsch, the highest mountain in the upper Engadin skiing region.

The hotel is a contemporary structure of glass and timber which blends harmoniously with the environs and the beautiful surrounding mountain scape. The hotel provides ski in, ski out access via a private glassed in covered walkway, directly connected to the Corvatsch cable car which will whisk you to the highest point in the ski domain in just fifteen minutes.

The Nira Alpina offers modern day living combined with mountain chic.

All rooms and suites have been designed to maximise the breath-taking views with floor to ceiling panoramic windows and all feature vast sun-drenched balconies or terraces. Natural materials such as Swiss Spruce, Italian stone and suede are used to create a stylish but inviting atmosphere. Luxuriate in the large granite bathrooms with oversized baths and waterfall showers.

Panoramic views illuminate almost every public space, particularly in the roof top restaurant “Stars” which offers an interesting and inspired fusion of Asian and Mediterranean and International fare – a foodie heaven.

For a more traditional experience, the Stella Veglia serves Swiss dishes from the “Engadin” and typical Italian dishes from Northern Italy. The authentic Stubli surroundings, with natural stone floor, pine panelling and chunky wooden furniture, are just as traditional.

The hotel Bistro offers light dining from the open kitchen, featuring healthy options or you can enjoy a drink whist sitting admiring the alpine views.

End your evening at the Rooftop bar sitting around the blazing fire whilst enjoying the eclectic playlist of the resident DJ.

The Nira Spa is a haven of calm with coloured mood lighting, five large treatment rooms.  A well-equipped gym, a huge whirlpool with an underwater relaxation bed – just perfect for those tired legs.
