Skiing at St. Moritz has been a sought-after winter break ever since, and spurred the expansion of Badrutt's little hostel into what is, four generations later, the regal Badrutt's Palace, the most exclusive, luxurious hotel in town.

Certainly, Horowitz comports himself with the regal mien of a 19th century monarch. He performs only on Sunday afternoons at 4. No matter where he is playing, he dines on Dover or gray sole flown in fresh that day.
