Pre concerts dining
Brasserie Dracula
In winter, the Brasserie is the meeting place for daring athletes who compete in the world’s only natural ice canal – from Olympic and world champions to Prince Albert of Monaco. In summer, the Brasserie opens its doors exclusively for the Festival da Jazz. Guests can thus experience culinary highlights reaching before the musical main course on the main stage is served.
Kulm Country Club
Make yourself comfortable at the legendary Kulm Country Club, which is located only a few steps away from the Dracula Club, the mainstage of the Festival da Jazz.

History
2006 - TAKING SHAPE
A first concert series at the Wine Cellar. Hazy Osterwald plays his last concert ever, together with Dani Felber.
2007 - WELCOME TO THE DRACULA CLUB
Rolf Sachs grants asylum to the festival at the Dracula Club. George Gruntz opens the concert series “Jazz & Wine” in this “holy” vault.
2008 - FESTIVAL DA JAZZ
The name “Festival da Jazz” is born. The first real festival. 13 concerts in association with the Kulm Hotel.
2009 - TAKING OFF
26 concerts already. Despite the economic crisis, Lexus comes on board and the Hauser’s Terrace features brunch concerts.
2010 - HUNGER
The festival becomes more international. Big acts like “Manhatten Transfer” capture the audience. A perfect mix: Sophie Hunger, Paul Kuhn, Brad Mehldau and many more.
2011 - EVEN MORE CONCERTS
Hellmi Beerli enables a concert by Ahmad Jamal – a great moment. And more highlights: Till Brönner, Klaus Doldinger, Al di Meola, Dave Grusin, Lee Ritenour. First “Free Midnight Concerts” at the Miles Davis Lounge.
2012 - FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
47 concerts already. Thanks to Franzoli the Brasserie Dracula is a great hit. Spectacular concert moments with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nigel Kennedy, Richard Galliano, Dianna Reeves and many more.
2013 - UP THE MOUNTAIN
Chick Corea and Al Jarreau honour the festival. For the first time the (meanwhile) very popular Open Air on Muottas Muragl takes place. And in addition: Randy Crawford, Fazil Say, Take 6 and of course Othella Dallas.
2014 - ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Dave Grusin turns 80 and celebrates the occasion with three concerts. Pepe Lienhard crams his big band into the Dracula, and they fit (just). And: Patti Austin, Dave Holland, Jimmy Cliff, Meshell Ndegeocello, Mike Stern, John Scofield.
2015 - MUSIC LESSONS
Bobby McFerrin gives lessons instead of singing. Dee Dee Bridgewater and Irvin Mayfield enchant the audience. And Candy Dulfer does it open air, just behind the Dracula.
2016 - KEEP GOING
Altogether 50 concerts. And a novelty: Apero-Concerts on Hauser’s Terrace. Great moments with Iiro Rantala and Ulf Wakenius, with Marcus Miller, Dianne Krall, The Rad Trads and many more.
2017 - 10 YEARS LATER
For the anniversary, the festival returns to Kronenhof, where it all started, and some other splendid concert venues on a small “tour de charme”.
2018 - LEJ DA JAZZ
Norah Jones came around, and Ludovico Einaudi drew a mega-crown to the first ever "Lej da Jazz" concert.
2019 - STILL GOING STRONG
Still new stages are being explored. Mystic sounds along Alp Grüm take us along. And always some Helge Schneider at the end.
2020 - NO FESTIVAL? YES FESTIVAL!
Riding between two waves we can pull of a Festival despite the pandemic. A little shorter and with a focus on local acts.
2021 - CERTIFIED
Even a mask mandate and Covid-checks can't stop our guests. Angélique Kidjo enchanting the Stazersee. First edition of the New Generation #JazzLab by Jaguar.
2022 - DRACULA WANTS YOU BACK
Finally back at our main stage, our beloved Dracula Club. A perfect summer accompanied by a perfect Line-Up.
2023 - SUNDAY MORNING AT LAKE STAZ
The Festival da Jazz St. Moritz welcomed fans to a free concert with the James Gruntz Duo. Hardly anyone expected so many music fans to partake.
