High above Pontresina, you can find one of St Moritz’s fluffiest residents. The Alpine marmot spends up to 6 months in hibernation but this summer they will be out in full force on the mountain. These charming creatures can be seen all over the Piz Languard mountain (3,262 m) around @pontresina_engadin .

Why not book one of our free Marmot and Ibex excursions, running from June 11th to October 8th? ?✨?

Welcome back to the “St. Moritzer”, an intimate series of portraits by @rolfsachsstudio featuring the faces and personalities that make St. Moritz so special. 

Claudia Aerni (@claudiaaerni ) is deeply rooted in St. Moritz. Her family ran the Hotel Restaurant Corvatsch in St. Moritz Bad for generations. Claudia, however chose a different career and her life took some quite surprising turns.

Claudia, you grew up in St. Moritz. What makes growing up in the mountains so special?

“Everything! I love the childhood I had here. We grew up in a real community. Children of the same age were around in the neighborhood; we’d play in the forest and our parents didn’t need to worry. I also have great memories of my grandfather who took us to events like the Concours Hippique, the White Turf, the Snow Polo World Cup and many more. I think we were lucky to experience the mountain life but then also to grow up in the most international environment. From an early age, we learned a lot through living in an international environment. We also got in touch with children from all nations and religions through the Ski school, the boy scouts and by going to school at the Lyceum Alpinum. I think this affected us all in the most positive way.”

So, high season was a blast – but what did you do during off season or in summer when business was low?

“In May and November, we usually closed the hotel and went on family vacation. In summer and in the fall, when our parents were busy working, us kids would spend our vacations with our grandparents, at holiday camps, with friends in Zürich or go on day trips with other families and friends. When I got older, I started summer jobs like selling ice cream at the Morteratsch Hotel or as an intern at the local veterinarian practice. I think I was like twelve or fourteen years old… it really never got boring.”

Hospitality is in his blood: Heinz Hunkeler (@heinz.hunkeler )knows every nook and cranny of the Kulm Hotel in St. Moritz from his childhood, now he runs it.

Heinz, for how long have you been General Manager of the Kulm Hotel
St. Moritz?

“I grew up here in St. Moritz, and after some time outside of the valley my first position “back home” was at the Grand Hotel Kronenhof in Pontresina. My wife Jenny and I were heavily involved in bringing the hotel back to its former glamour after the Niarchos family bought the property in 2004. At Grand Hotel Kronenhof I was the General Manager for 7 years, before returning to my roots in nearby St. Moritz and taking over at the sister property Kulm Hotel St. Moritz. I have held the position of general manager at the Kulm together with my wife since April 2013. Along with my appointment as General Manager, I was also entrusted with overall responsibility as CEO for the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz and Grand Hotel Kronenhof.”

You come from a family of hoteliers, your father ran the Kulm before you. Did that predetermine your path?

“Already as a child I was fascinated by the hospitality industry, and especially by the majestic Grand Hotels. Since I pretty much grew up in the Kulm Hotel, I know every corner of the building – in part because I used to play hide and seek there. The smaller jobs within the hotel that I had as a teenager, for example as a pool boy or in the hotel kitchen, prepared me perfectly for the position I have today. I think it is beneficial to climb the career ladder the way I did it and to gain experience in all the various hotel departments.

It was never planned or intended that I return to my roots @kulmhotel to become the General Manager. After all there are so many other exciting opportunities all over the world. However, I am happy and very thankful that my path led me back here.”

Welcome back to the “St. Moritzer”, an intimate series of portraits by @rolfsachsstudio featuring the faces and personalities that make St. Moritz so special. 

Daniel Müller, (@mulomueller )known as „Mulo“, is one of the top chefs in St. Moritz. He’s a pure local and has experienced the restaurant scene from an early age. 

Mulo, you grew up here and your dad ran the restaurants on the Corvatsch at 3303m above sea level. How would you describe your childhood?

“I literally had my head in the clouds, always taking the first Gondola up the mountain to go snowboarding with my friends… what more could you ask for? And then of course there were the crazy parties my parents threw for celebrities. We had live bands, fireworks, DJs, all sorts of VIPs mingling and partying at Corvatsch. That was a lot of fun. Thanks to my dad we also had access to all the high end locations in St. Moritz.”

Are you still in touch with some of the people you met when you were a kid?

“Sure, many of them come to St. Moritz regularly. I’m still in touch with a bunch of them and we meet here and elsewhere in the world to celebrate good times past and present.”

You’re a chef today. I’d say one of the most popular in St. Moritz, congratulations to that. What drew you to cooking?

“I actually wanted to become a stuntman or a pilot, but I guess I was a bit too lazy. In the end I went for an apprenticeship at the Badrutt's Palace Hotel to become a chef. (laughs) In all seriousness though: food and cooking was something I got in touch with early on in my family. We also helped out our parents working at Corvatsch. Of course, being on the “home team” gave me a leg up when I applied for the apprenticeship at the Palace. Only two of us were accepted: Fabrizio Zanetti, who today is the executive chef at the Suvretta House, and myself. They didn’t go easy on us though. 5-star cooking is a world of its own, and the education was tough.”
