Festival da Jazz


Summer is a time for enjoying the things you love, which for many of us is music. If you love jazz, and especially enjoy it amidst beautiful alpine scenery or within stylishly chic venues, then St. Moritz in July is the place to be.  

The Festival da Jazz runs the whole month and features a rich and talented array of world-famous jazz greats as well as emerging artists. Gigs are played across an eclectic range of venues and outdoor locations that make use of the beautiful scenery and acoustics nature provides. 

Every day there’s a new flavour of jazz to sample, an energetic collision of delightfully different styles, from established acts full of old souls to young up-and-comers, who play in front of the kind of easy-going, friendly crowd that only jazz attracts. There’s something special about letting go in such a beautiful place, and enjoying melody after melody as it meanders its way over the neighbouring alpine lakes, forest slopes or through the evening crowd in one of St. Moritz’s unforgettable venues.

And on the venues, there are plenty to choose from. From the cult status of the effortlessly cool Dracula Club, to the grandiose atmosphere of the legendary Sunny Bar, the lakeside stage at Lej Da Staz and the magical woodland location of Taiswald. 

Enjoy as many unique moments as there are notes in a guitarist’s improvisation, and celebrate your favourite music in a place that truly does it justice.
