Switzerland’s St. Moritz looks as tempting for a summer sail as it does for its slopes and chic après ski experiences. Head to this Olympic-worthy destination (it’s hosted twice) to experience the shimmering blue Lake St. Moritz, perfect for ice skating or windsurfing, check out Olympia Bob Run, the world’s only natural-ice bob sleigh run dating back to 1904, or to take in the high-altitude glaciers and peaks from the panoramic comfort of the Bernina Express train.
