Switzerland St. MORITZ 🇨🇭 DRIVE from JULIERPASS to Luxury Village among the Mountains 4K HDR

And also a walk along the shore of a wonderful Lake.
St. Moritz is one of the most famous holiday resorts in the world, has hosted two Winter Olympics and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its name is protected as a quality brand and stands for style, elegance and class worldwide.
Thanks to the Romansh language, the proximity to Italy and the predominantly German-speaking local population, three cultural areas come together in St. Moritz. The town owes its importance originally to its healing springs, which have been known for almost 3,500 years and were first mentioned in history in 1466 BC. St. Moritz was already visited by bathers during the summer in the Middle Ages. And yet: in 1830, only 200 residents lived in the town.
In addition to its beautiful location above and next to the lake, St. Moritz offers an attractive mix of nature, culture, sport, activity and peace. The pleasant harmony of the Upper Engadin landscape with around 90 mountain lakes, the famous "champagne climate" and the strong Engadin sun are what make the place so attractive.

The summer season may be a little less glamorous, but it attracts even more visitors from all over the world than the winter. All year round, St. Moritz is a guarantee of exceptional leisure and sports activities, cultural highlights, varied shopping opportunities and world-class events. There are also top-class hotels and excellent restaurants.

Together with the Upper Engadin lake landscape and valley culture, these elements form the framework of a range of activities that is unique in terms of quality and variety: Alpine and Nordic skiing, Cresta Run, Bob Run, horse racing and ice skating on the frozen lake, polo, cricket, golf and curling tournaments and gourmet festivals in winter. Mountain biking, hiking, windsurfing, music festivals, ice skating, golf, tennis, sailing, classic cars, opera, art and culture, national park in summer - all within a few minutes' radius.

Julierpass.
The remains of Roman columns and coins found on the top of the pass point to an early use of this alpine traverse even with two wheeled barrows. The steeper and more avalance endangered Septimer Pass to the west would have been direct competition at the time.

Once the trading routes were established, the importance of the Julier Pass diminished, becoming even less important when the road was built over the Septimer Pass in 1387.

The Julier Pass was mainly used for access to the Upper Engadin and to the Bernina Pass and a road was constructed over the pass between 1820 and 1826. At this time the Julier became more important than the Septimer Pass on one hand because of the more difficult terrain on the Septimer and on the other had because the Engadin was economically more important for the canton.
