If you’re a skier or rider you’ll want to come here. But mostly, in town, you’ll find yourself weaving between the well-heeled lot in fine furs and designer labels, and custom jewelry and Ray Bans. There’s a delicious old town that you can wander in, encircled by a medieval wall and crisscrossed by cobbled lanes and alleyways that are lined with historic buildings with colorful façades, housing pricey restaurants and pricier shops and boutiques. Still, if you’re here during the annual World Cup Ski Races, you’ll get to see adrenaline-pumped skiers rip down the Streif slope at the Hahnenkamm at speeds of nearly 140km per hour! That’s quite something, no?
