Part 4/10:
Entering St. Moritz, one immediately notices the presence of black Mercedes SUVs gliding silently along snow-covered roads, their tinted windows concealing passengers who command fortunes surpassing those of small nations. As visitors stroll the car-free promenade, they observe a blend of rustic charm and high-end boutiques. The architecture is often unpainted and simple, cleverly playing down the extravagant wealth that lies within.
Peering through the shop windows reveals luxurious goods, like a solitary Hermes handbag presented as if it were art, or rare timepieces that demand an exclusive waiting list. The townspeople have witnessed it all, having served coffee to royalty and celebrities in a way that refuses any hint of star-struck admiration.
