St. Moritz Dorf & Leaning Tower
St. Moritz Dorf / Schiefer Turm
The hillside village centre, lined with boutiques and century-old hotels. The leaning tower, the only remnant of a 12th-century church, tilts more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The village of St. Moritz Dorf is built on a hillside. Via Serlas is home to international luxury brands and century-old hotels such as the Badrutt's Palace, making it the heart of winter socialising and holidays. The Schiefer Turm (Leaning Tower) is the only surviving bell tower of the original St. Moritz church, built around the 12th century. Because its foundations slid, it leans about 5.5 degrees. Its exterior can be viewed for free. Escalators and lifts from the station lead up to the village centre, a 5 to 10-minute walk.
