St. Moritz: Even in the Engadine, it doesn’t get more exclusive than this.

This exclusive 7½-room flat, with 357m² of living space and sumptuous interior design, rests on a slightly elevated site above Lake St. Moritz. No other property can top this unit's spellbinding panorama, which opens up across the lake and into the Engadine range. This property will satisfy even the most discriminating palate, no matter what the expectation or demand; it may also be acquired as a full-service apartment with its own staff.

Lenzerheide: 6½-room "ski in/ski out" duplex unit

This capacious 6½-room duplex unit holds 200m² of living space and is located directly on the zoning boundary that separates the forest from buildable land, just above the heart of Lenzerheide village. It has a panoramic view of the summits of Mt. Schwarzhorn, Weisshorn and Rothorn, and goes all the way to Lenzerhorn! This unit was also designed to deliver the utmost privacy. Both single-family units in this duplex building enjoy direct access to the Danis ski region.

Nestled in direct proximity to The Hotel Carlton and St. Moritz Golf Club, this property features a beautiful vista that encompasses Muottas Muragl, Lake St. Moritz and Piz Corvatsch.

Davos: 3½-room flat with private spa

Located within walking distance to Davos town center and the Parsennbahn railways (funicular and gondola), this mint-condition 3½-room unit (149m2) comes with its own private spa, which includes sauna, steam bath, rain shower and a lounge for chilling-out. The unit is part of a historic building with traditional architecture; recent renovations include upgrades to the interior finishes and fixtures, bringing them to the highest quality modern standards.

Davos: Plush condominium apartment with panoramic view

This generously-appointed 4½-room condo flat (166m²) is located on a fantastic vista site in the town of Davos. Enjoy the breathtaking views over Davos and far into the Dischma Valley right from your own living room. The premium quality interior finishes fit seamlessly into the traditional architectural style of the property, and will please even the most discerning tastes.

Davos: Intercontinental Residences – a property that lives up to its name!

On a tranquil site with prime sun exposure, a selection of 2½- to 4½-room condominium flats, connected with the 5-star Intercontinental Hotel, are slated to open by winter 2013. This project represents an ideal combination: the advantages of owning your own holiday flat – plus the services and infrastructure of a first class hotel.  In addition, the Intercontinental’s leasing pool offers condominium owners an appealing financial opportunity: though you are under no obligation to lease your unit when you are not in residence, if you choose to do so, then you could defray ongoing ownership expenses from the rental income collected by the leasing pool. An enticing perspective to consider.

St. Moritz - Suvretta: Chalet surrounded by forest, and close to high society

This 8½-room chalet, built in 1937, and the separate 2½-room in-law apartment that comes with it, hold a combined total of 450m2 of living space on 4 stories. The traditional property still possesses building elements that are indeed rare, such as the hand-carved original wood ceiling with stucco work and walls. The 2'191m2 surroundings, with its own charming grove of mature-growth trees, also guarantees highly-coveted private atmosphere, both now and in the future.

Silvaplana: 4½-room condo flat in town center

This newly-constructed 4½-room condominium flat (140m²) is located in the historic town center of Silvalpana, which has only slight vehicle traffic. From inside this penthouse unit and from its terrace, you can enjoy a glorious view of the turquoise-blue Lake Silvalpana and the rise of Piz Corvatsch on the opposite shores.  Also, there is still time for you to share in deciding on the finishes for this extraordinary unit, based on your own preferences.

Sagogn: 5 minutes to the golf course or the gondola

Located in the historic town center, this 6½-room single family home is on an ample lot and holds 207m² of living space. Close to Zurich, and appealing in terms of price, this property has much to offer.
