Part 9/10:
As the winter season approaches, St. Moritz transforms into an epicenter of elite activity. With tech moguls and old-money Europeans converging, discussions happening over breakfast include the kind of secrets and dealings that shape the global economy, while public events merely serve as a backdrop for the real negotiations occurring in private chalets.
Yet, as quickly as the affluent arrive, they depart, retreating to their other luxurious homes around the globe come March, leaving St. Moritz quiet once more. While the tourism subsides, the local businesses meticulously prepare for the next influx. These cycles underline the village's nature as a stage for the world’s wealthiest to put on a display of exclusivity, secrecy, and influence.
