St Moritz: restaurants and entertainment Editors" choice El Paradiso (833 4002), secluded at the extreme southern end of Corviglia, has it all: breathtaking views from the big terrace, a tastefully renovated, slightly trendy interior, great service and top-notch food. Fuorcla Surlej (842 6303, though we doubt they'll take a reservation), on the Fuorcla run from the Corvatsch glacier, could not be more different: a remote refuge serving basic food, sometimes very slowly. But the view of Piz Bernina and Piz Roseg from the snowy ramshackle "terrace" is among our top three in the world. Worth knowing about On Corviglia, the top lift station houses several restaurants run under the umbrella title of Mathis Food Affairs, including the famously swanky Marmite. Not our cup of tea, but a trusted reporter this year records his "best ever skiing lunch" here. The more atmospheric Chasellas is also recommended, particularly for strudel. Lej da la Pêsch, behind Piz Nair, is a cosy spot, better for a snowy day than a sunny one. On the Corvatsch side, the cosy, rustic Alpetta has been tipped in the past, and the varied menu looked good to us on a recent visit. Hahnensee, on the run of that name to Bad, is a splendid place to pause in the sun. There are two picnic rooms: at the Diavolezza cable-car base and in the Marguns restaurant building. Après-ski Caters for all ages There's a big variety of après-skiing age groups here. The fur coat count is high - people come to St Moritz to be seen. For tea and good cakes head for Hanselmann's. The Roo bar terrace outside the hotel Hauser is "definitely the focal après drinking spot." Bobby's Pub attracts a young crowd, as does the loud music of the Stübli, one of the bars in the hotel Schweizerhof: the others are the Mulibar, with a trendy chill-out setting and dancing, and the chic Piano Bar. The Cresta, at the Steffani, is popular with the British, while the Cava below it is louder, livelier and younger. We don't get many reports on the late-night scene, but the Diamond Club has been mentioned. The two most popular discos are Vivai (expensive), and King's at Badrutt's Palace (even more expensive; jackets and ties required). If you need to liberate even more cash, try the casino. Off the slopes Excellent variety of pastimes Even if you lack the bravado for the Cresta Run, there is lots to do. In midwinter the snow-covered lake provides a playground for events such as polo, horse racing and cricket, but then activities are limited as the lake starts to thaw. There's an annual "gourmet festival," with chefs from all over the world. The Engadin museum is said to be "very interesting." And the shopping is simply "incredible" if your plastic remains flexible. There are extensive well-marked walking trails, which a reporter loved. Muottas Muragl is a mountain set aside for not skiing - with funicular access to snowshoeing, tobogganing and an igloo village - all with stunning panoramic views. Some hotels run special activities, such as a curling week. Other options are hang-gliding and indoor tennis. Several reporters rave about the views from the Bernina Express train to Italy, with "amazing bends and scenery." Another visitor highly recommends a trip by train to Scuol for the "fabulous spa with great facilities; a combi pass covers travel plus spa." There's an "excellent" public pool in Pontresina. more on Skiing in Switzerland
