We arrived at the luxurious ***** Kulm Hotel St. Moritz in the early afternoon, here is a picture of the hotel from later in the night:

Very impressive!  The hotel had just opened its door for the winter season.  Almost all of the high class hotels in St. Moritz are open only from mid december to mid april, so the season in St. Moritz is quite short! 

Did I tell already that it was very sunny during the whole weekend in St. Moritz?  Well, this is the view from our room in the Kulm Hotel:

Lovely, isn't it?

The official reception by Swatch The Club was at 6pm, so it was time to pick up the badges...

...and have a small drink and time for some small talk, saying 'hello' to lots of familiar faces!  It is always nice to see each other again!

Later in the night, we had a nice welcome dinner on top of the Corvatsch mountain.  Friday night, it was Snownight, so those who brought their skis, could go skiing as the slope was illuminated until 2am!
