A weekly Tax is cashed by the Hotels and Villas for account of the Winter-Kurverein St. Moritz. This association keeps in good order a large Ice-Rink, the Village-Run, the Gully-Run, and the Walks around St. Moritz. It offers gratuitously this little brochure to the guests of St. Moritz.Situation. he village of St. Moritz, with a population of about 750 souls, is 6100 feet high and is situated in the Engadine, or valley of the Inn, a tributary of the river Danube. The valley is a long, narrow one, about 60 miles in length and only from one to two in width, and it extends from the Maloja, which is close on the borders of Italy, and has here an elevation of 6035 feet, to Martinsbruck (3400 feet) on the Tyrolean frontier. The Inn takes its rise between the Piz Longhino and Piz Grevasalvas, and after traversing the beautiful lakes of Sils, Silvaplana, Gampfer and St. Moritz, it forms a splendid waterfall just _____________________________________________J 3r -------------- s below the last named lake, and bounds through the Charnadiiras Ravine to Cresta, Celerina and Samaden, which is the most populous of all the villages along its banks. The valley, which is in the Canton Graubünden_or Grisons, is divided into the Upper Engadine, the higher wider and more sunny portion, and the Lower or “Unter-engadin.” The former division of the Valley begins at the Maloja and ends at the Punt Ota, some distance below Samaden, being roughly speaking a couple of dozen miles long. The most favoured portion of the Upper Engadine, both as regards climate and beauty, is undoubtedly that part which extends from the Maloja to St. Moritz village. Here we have a series of lovely lakes, a more open and yet a more sheltered situation, a higher elevation, and abundance of sunshine. St. Moritz Dorf or village which is about 300 feet above the lake is the most favoured spot of all. No village with anything like its population possesses such an elevation, and the views from it, in every direction, are simply magnificent. The Romansch, a language mostly of Latin origin, and with a literature of its own, is what may be termed the native language. It is being rapidly replaced by German however, which is now taught in the schools and is spoken everywhere. The Engadiners are admirable linguists, and all those who come much in contact with visitors speak English. — V. Jwpsv» iSlT) !X"X"X° i ! »X"X“Xi IX'X'X" i i %*Xo[.K !

Moritz being the highest, driest and one of the sunniest health-resorts in Europe it follows that it possesses all the elements of the Alpine cure in greatest abundance. Owing to the presence of glaciers in its immediate neighbourhood—glaciers which in superficial area measure about 100 million square metres—the air is rendered aseptic and very bracing. The whole earth being covered with snow in winter, no germs, dust or impurities can contaminate the atmosphere; while the absence of wind allows people, with the most delicate constitutions, to sit out in the open air in a way that cannot he realized unless it is witnessed. Considering the height of the valley the line of vegetation in the Engadine is very much higher than in other mountainous countries. Caviezel says:—“In the Harz mountains the limit of the forest is at 3,527 feet, in the Riesen-gebirge at 4,692; in the Alps of the Tyrol and Bavaria at from 5,840 to 6,424; in the Upper Engadine at 7,464. V______________________________________________________) 7r In Northern Switzerland, in Southern Bavaria and in Northern Tyrol, agriculture cannot be carried on at a greater height than somewhat under 4000 feet; but in the Upper Engadine it rises to an elevation of nearly 6,400.” This warmth of a valley with such an elevation is due, in the first place, to its protection all around by mountains varying in height from 10,000 to over 13,000 feet, and secondly to the abundance of sunshine. The power of penetration of the sun’s rays (diathermancy) becomes enormously increased with increased altitude. This, no doubt, is due to the fact that the higher we ascend the thinner the air is, and the less aqueous vapour can be held in suspension. Frankland found that, a; Whitby, which has an elevation of 65 feet, the temperature in the sun was only 98. 96 F., whereas on the Diavolezza, which is 9775 feet high, it reached 139.10 degrees. The volume of light too, is intense and probably plays an important part in the nutrition of the body, llontgen has lately shown that certain rays permeate nearly all our tissues and it still remains to be seen what the effects of an Alpine sunbath may accomplish on decayed nervous constitutions. It may be said that St. Moritz enjoys an exceptional advantage over all other Alpine places both as regards dryness of the air and powerful sunlight. The local conditions of the Engadine favour the deposit of moisture “en route”. If we draw a comparison between a solitary mountain like the Rigi Kulm which is about the same V____________________________________________________________) 8C._£ ^ o o d b c) "0 V. r elevation as St. Moritz, we find that the amount of aqueous vapour in the atmosphere is markedly less at St. Moritz. This dryness helps materially in maintaining the heat of the body in as much as, the drier the air, the less is the conduction of heat from it. The rarefaction or thinness of the atmosphere is, according to the highest medical authorities, a factor of the greatest importance so far as the process of respiration is concerned. The diminished atmospheric pressure upon the chest walls, and the deep breathings necessary at such an altitude, lead to thorough ventilation of all the lung tissue and increase in the size of the chest. Here it may be interesting to mention that the boiling point of water in the Engadine is 187 F. and the barometric pressure about one fifth less than at sea-level. Meat when hung out in the sun rapidly dries and is preserved in this way from all putrefactive changes. It is, in this fashion, known as “Bündnerfleisch” and is greatly valued by the natives on account of its nutritive properties. From the observations of Townsend and Greathead the atmosphere is very rich in ozone. The quantity of electricity however is difficult to measure. Many visitors for the first week or ten days suffer some discomforture from the great change and the over-stimulation of the climate. There is often some burning and redness of the skin of the face and lips, due partially to the drive over the Pass and the sun’s strong rays. Shortness of breath and slight palpitation of the heart, with restless nights, are not uncommon symptoms; V___________________________________________________ 10while giddiness, buzzing in the ears, and nose bleeding sometimes occur in sensitive persons. But these troubles soon cease and are followed by a sense of increased strength both bodily and mentally, the capacity for sleep returns, the appetite becomes keen, and the enjoyment of exercise in the open air brings back, more than all else, an intense pleasure in living.

Here we can only mention the diseases and morbid states for which St. Moritz is said to be useful, and on the other hand to help to check the enthusiasm of many who may be inclined to come to a climate that is not suitable for their particular state af health. The climate of St. Moritz is indicated in winter:'— (1) In all cases of debility unattended by organic disease. (2) In convalescence from acute diseases. (3) In anemia, scrofula, consumption and malaria. (4) For asthmatics, especially if young, it is almost a specific. v---------------------------------------------------------> 13r (6) The best results have been obtained in cases of pleurisy, owing to the expansion of the chest produced by the climate. (7) In chronic bronchial catarrh. (8) In obesity. On the other hand St, Moritz is contra-indicated:— (1) In all cases of great debility, or of advanced disease. (2) In many irritable nervous conditions, such as epilepsy, chorea and certain kinds of hysteria. (3) In some forms of heart disease, although many persons with what are called “weak hearts” derive enormous benefit from the climate. (4) In advanced tuberculosis. (5) In Brights Disease. (6) In Tubercular Laryngitis. There is a popular notion that very young children should not come to the Engadine in winter. This is an entire mistake. Babies in arms may be brought here, providing, proper care is observed that they do not catch cold on the journey. Young people of all sorts do remarkably well at St. Moritz, especially boys of lymphatic or scrofulous temperaments, with a tendency to out-grow their strength. And those who possess a history of consumption in their families should come as early as possible to the Alps. I 15 Jr Sports, Amusements, Resources. licate people to sit out in the sun and read, it may we think be regarded as approaching the ideal. This is what we enjoy during the greater part of the winter at St. Moritz, and with the combination of outdoor and indoor amusements, time does not hang heavily upon our hands. The outdoor amusements are many and varied. During the early part of the winter there is generally an abundance of magnificent skating upon the lakes in the Upper Engadine. A fine day, good ice and glorious surroundings, these are the attractions we can generally promise the visitor during the months of November and December. These lakes do not all become frozen at the same time, and therefore we may be pretty sure of some good lake skating, although the snow may fall at irregular intervals. As the season advances, visitors show hbn a climate will allow one to take vigor- ous, indeed violent exercise, in the open air, or, on the other hand, permits the most de- J 17The Village Run. Reproduced with kind permission of the Editor „The Illustrated Engadine“ (Engadin in Wort und Bild). V Jr A no disposition to travel far for their amusements, and as there are half a dozen well managed rinks at their doors, nearly everybody goes crazy about figure skating (especially as there is a regular school of skating at St. Moritz) and these same rinks become crowded now, Skiing. from morning till night. All sorts of tests and examinations are periodically held on the ice and proficiency in the art of skating is regarded with the highest esteem at St. Moritz. It seems a ridiculous statement to make, but nevertheless it is true that, frequently the skaters find the sun so warm on the ice that they are compelled to take off their coats and skate in their shirt sleeves!! V._______________________________________________________J 19r Tobogganing is anothei’ sport that captivates the new-comer. It has become enormously developed of late years and the far-famed “Cresta Run” is now so carefully engineered that an accident is well nigh impossible, while the pace is about equal to that of an express train in certain parts of the course. Curling, a sort of game of bowls on the ice, is a much milder form of amusement, but it is full of interest, and the annual contest between Davos and St. Moritz excites an amount of keenness and eagerness not often found south of the Tweed. Hockey is played a good deal by the young and the vigorous, and we now have a regular hockey-club established at St. Moritz. Snow-shoeing and Skiing, although they cannot be regarded exactly as sports, are amusements that keep people healthily employed in the open air. Lawn-Tennis is played nearly, the whole winter through, on asphalt. Sleighing in the pure alpine air is a most exhilarating and interesting way of spending one’s day, especially for those who do not care for much active exercise. This is often combined with picnics, and what is termed “Bobsleighing” parties. A bobsleigh is merely a long toboggan upon which half a dozen persons or more take their seats and slide down the side of a mountain together. It is perhaps needless to say that the occupants, as a rule, show much the same judicious mingling of the sexes that we find at a dinner party. The Indoor amusements are nearly as varied as L_______________________________________ J 21r the outdoor. In the first place almost every hotel possesses an admirable orchestra of its own and one or two concerts are thus given daily in ones own house, so to speak. There are balls and occasional cotillons, but as a rule, dancing is not kept up until a late hour, and most of the entertainments are over by 11 o’clock. Private theatricals, Tableaux vivants, and variety entertainments are of frequent occurrence, and a great feature in the late afternoon, when seeking well-earned repose, after skating or tobogganing, is to sit in an arm chair in the vestibule of one’s hotel and enjoy listening to the band from La Scala, sipping the while uthe cup that cheers but not inebriates”. To pass now from the frivolous to the serious and consider the other resources of the place, we must, in the beginning, mention that English Church k service, under the auspices of the ¡Society for the Propaga tion of the Gospel, is held daily (twice on Sundays) in the Kulm Hotel. The same chaplain is appointed for the whole winter. Most of the Hotels have small ¡libraries of their own. An English Physician (Dr. Holland) has lived ¡ at St. Moritz for many years and practises here both in winter and summer. In addition, there are several S wiss physicians, viz.: Drs.'Hossli and Melcher. Dentists. Dr. Patterson (American), Dr. Schlenker and ¡ Dr. Berry (Swiss) practise here regularly. Chemist. Mr.Walker, who makes up Englishprescrip tions.Scate-Sailing.r ----— Access. f course there are many ways of reaching Switzerland from England and it would be impossible here to consider them all. (1) The shortest and most direct route is from London to Bâle via Dover and Calais in 19 hours. One leaves London (Charing Cross or Victoria) at 11 a. m., Calais is reached at 2. 20 p. m. and here luncheon may be taken, over half an hour being allowed for the meal. The train arrives at Laon at 7.10 p. m. (dinner is served here), at Delle at 3. 20 a. m. and although this is the frontier, passengers are never bothered by the Custom House officials. At 6. 30 the train arrives at Bâle where 55 minutes are allowed for breakfast. At 7.25 we leave Bâle reaching Zurich at 9.15, Chur (Coire) at 1.45 and here a wait of over an hour is allowed for luncheon and the changing of carriages. The train leaves Chur at 2.52 p. m. and arrives at Thusis at 4 o’clock. (2) Another route to Bâle is by the Great Eastern Railway Company via Harwich, Antwerp, Brussels, L ________________________ 25f 7 1 Luxemburg and Metz. This is somewhat longer and I necessitates some 42 hours sea journey. It is a convenient route however for travellers from the Midland, and North of England, and it may be modified thus (a) London, Dover, Calais, Brussels, Metz &c. (b) by Dover, Ostend, Brussels &c. and (c) by Harwich and the Hook of Holland. (3) An attractive way of reaching Bâle from London is via Paris, and passengers can now be booked direct to Chur or Thusis. Travellers are strongly recommended, Tor fear of alterations in the time tables, to apply to Messrs. Thos. Cook and Son Ludgate Circus, London (who provide through tickets) for all particulars before starting. This is very necessary since the railway has been carried on to Thusis. From Thusis St. Moritz is reached either by private carriage or by diligence in ten hours. If the traveller cares to break the journey at some intermediate place, Chur, a quaint, old-fashioned place with an interesting cathedral and two good hotels—the Steinbock and the Lukmanier—offers many attractions. Thusis is a very pretty place with the Hotels Via Mala, Post, and the Hotel Rhætia, very comfortable hotels. Tiefenkastell, a truly intermediate station with the comfortable Hotels Albula and Julierhof, is a couple of hours further on. Savognino 4000 feet (Hotel Pianta) and Muhlen (Hotel Lowe) are excellent resting-places with capital accommodation. An attractive way of reaching the Engadine is ^_______________________________________________________J 26r through Italy by the Gotthard Pass to the Lake of Gomo and thence on to Ghiavenna, the last town in Italy. From Ghiavenna St. Moritz is reached by the Val Bre-gaglia (Promontogno) and Maloja pass—a magnificent route—in about 8 hours. The traveller may, if he wishes, go direct from London to Milan and take the train from there to Ghiavenna, or he may reach the last named place from Lugano crossing the Italian Lakes. Ghiavenna is a romantically situated old town with a very comfortable Hotel (Gonradi) kept by a polite landlord. Clothing. The clothing that is most suitable for a winter’s sojourn in the Engadine is very much the same that we might recommend to a friend who was about to make a prolonged stay in an English country house. For the day time, thick tweed knickerbocker suits, stout boots with nails, cloth spats, woollen gloves and a tweed cap will generally suit the purpose. A cardigan waist coat, a grey felt Homburg hat, and hunting scarves, instead of collars, are very useful adjuncts. A pilot jacket or covert coat are well to have ready for rough days, and a fur-lined coat for driving. Flannel shirts are much more comfortable than linen for skating, to-bogganning and indeed all forms of active exercise, and stout woollen stockings are an absolute necessity. For ladies, tailor-made tweed, or serge dresses, thick boots with nails, and a thin cloth jacket, which may be readily taken on or off, are all that are generally L_______________________________________________________J 27r necessary. Leather gloves are never suitable. Furs tor driving, a shady hat, a light cotton umbrella and a thin Shetland Spencer are all useful. Everybody should wear thick, woollen under clothing and both ladies and gentlemen should possess a warm rug, a pair of blue, or neutral coloured spectacles, snow-shoes, and Mount Charles skates. These latter may be obtained in St. Moritz. It is always advisable to bring evening dress ; and a few solid books, music, and sketching materials are well to have by one in case one’s stay is of any considerable duration. Those who care for lawn-tennis should bring flannels, a racquet and a dozen new balls. This little guide which is intended for the visitor, who knows next to nothing about St. Moritz, is in no w7ay expected to be scientific, or elaborate. Nor is it intended to take the place of larger and more complete works. For fuller and more detailed information we must refer our readers to the “Engadine” edited by the late Mr. F. de B. Strickland and published by Messrs. Sampson Low and Marston. It is the most interesting book in the English language upon this locality and everybody who comes here should read it. Hotels. No health resort in Europe possesses better or more luxurious hotels than St. Moritz village, and they are admirably adapted to the requirements of their visitors. Owing to its remarkable situation, St. Moritz cannot be v ____________________________________________________________) 2Sf — a cheap place, but the prices vary within a range that permit visitors of moderate means to find what they want. The electric light is provided in all the houses and in the streets. One may telephone from one’s hotel to nearly any part of Switzerland. The telegraphic system and parcels post are the best in the world. All the Hotels are comfortably warmed in winter, the larger ones possess lifts, and Italian orchestras. The system of drainage is on the most approved principles, and quite modern, having been lately carried out by English sanitary engineers, Messrs. Lowe and Sons. Three meals a day are served and are charged at an inclusive price, as the pension. Breakfast may be had at any time, Luncheon is served at 12. 30 or at 1 o’clock, and dinner at 7 or 7.30. Many of the Hotels possess Restaurants where visitors may arrange what meals they like and to suit their own convenience in every way. Diligences, Carriages &c. There will be two diligences daily from Thusis to St. Moritz, the one leaving at 8. 20 a. m. and arriving at 6.45 p. m., and the other leaves shortly after the arrival of the London train (4. 30 p. m.) and proceeds as far as Miihlen, where travelleis can find comfortable quarters for the night. Early the next morning it starts from Miihlen and arrives at St. Moritz at mid-day. N.B. When the winter snow is down in sufficient Lquantity to make a firm road, passengers can travel over J 29r the passes in open sleighs only. Furs and warm wraps are absolutely necessary on these occasions. The fare from Thusis to St. Moritz in winter is frs. 9. 40 via Julier and frs. 10.05 via Albula (about 8 shillings). Extra posts are carriages provided by the government and controlled by the passenger as regards time of starting, distance &c. They travel very fast and change horses about every 10 miles. An extrapost from Thusis to St. Moritz with one horse costs frs. 30.60 via Julier and Albula. Any number of private carriages may also be had, but an arrangement should be made, including the “pour-boire”, before starting. And here let us remind our readers that the telegraph and telephone may be brought into requisition all along the route for a mere trifle, and should be liberally employed to secure heated rooms and meals at times to suit the travellers’ convenience.
