The Story Behind

This artwork from Atelier WOCS celebrates St. Moritz, a destination synonymous with winter sports, elegance, and the grandeur of the Olympic Games. Often referred to as the birthplace of modern winter tourism, St. Moritz’s story began in 1864 with an audacious promise by hotelier Johannes Badrutt. He invited his English summer guests to experience the alpine winter, assuring them of sunshine and snow. His gamble led to the creation of a winter sports culture that would captivate the world.

The town’s reputation as a pioneer was solidified through its contributions to winter sports. From the invention of bobsleighing and skeleton to hosting the first Winter Olympics in 1928, St. Moritz transformed winter into a season of activity and adventure. The 1928 Games were groundbreaking, introducing winter sports to a global audience, while the 1948 Games symbolized hope and renewal in a post-war world. These moments defined St. Moritz not only as a sporting capital but as a cultural icon.

The artwork captures this history with a skier gracefully descending its legendary slopes, framed by the crisp alpine backdrop and the Swiss flag—a symbol of precision and heritage. Here, the flag embodies St. Moritz’s role as a pioneer, where the thrill of snow sports was first imagined and perfected.

St. Moritz has always been more than a destination. It is a symbol of timeless innovation, drawing royalty, visionaries, and adventurers for over a century. From the glistening frozen lake to its world-class slopes, it continues to lead in shaping the way the world experiences winter.

This piece honors the legacy of St. Moritz, where snow, speed, and history converge in perfect harmony. It invites viewers to feel the exhilaration of its storied slopes and the timeless charm of the birthplace of winter sports.
