Playgrounds of the Rich and Famous : Episode 5 (2022)


Synopsis

In this episode, we’re in St. Moritz, the alpine resort that claims to have invented winter tourism. For over 150 years, royalty and movie stars have flocked to this chocolate-box Swiss town to indulge in skiing, lavish banquets, and fast cars. Recent visitors include Prince Edward and Duchess  Sophie, John Travolta, Robert De Niro, and Orlando Bloom. We begin at the luxurious Kulm Hotel, where a publishing heiress checks in before catching St. Moritz’s classy jazz festival. It was at this hotel that Roman Abramovic’s ex, Dasha Zhukova, married Stavros Niarchos in 2020’s society wedding of the year. Delving into the ultra-high-class, old-money fabric of St. Moritz, we discover that to buy your way into the super-secretive in-crowd, you need property. Hans Peter Danuser, former director of St. Moritz’s tourist board, takes us on a cable car ride to a glacial summit where he reveals how the resort attracted silver-screen heroes like Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock.
