If the glam and glitz of St. Moritz brings on a weary sigh as the thought of another round of dressing to impress is simply too much to bear, then salvation awaits at Nira Alpina Hotel in Silvaplana.

What I like about the Waldhaus Sils is that, although it’s just 7 miles from St. Moritz, it’s in the heart of the countryside, surrounded by nature, perfect for relaxation. It also helps that it’s been owned by the same family since it was built in 1908, and they’re very much in evidence around the hotel.
