Marmot's St. Moritz Fireside Chats : A Fusion of Investment, Entrepreneurship, and Art

Our Get-Together

Marmot hosted its inaugural Alpine Firechats in collaboration with Chateau Papillon.

Last weekend, amidst the picturesque snow-capped peaks of St. Moritz, Marmot hosted an extraordinary gathering that defied expectations. Despite heavy snowfall and unexpected challenges such as blocked roads and canceled reservations, over 150 guests convened in this breathtaking locale, united by their determination to partake in a truly exceptional event.

Over two unforgettable days, participants embarked on a unique journey blending investing, entrepreneurship, and art. From carving fresh tracks on pristine slopes to exploring classic automobiles at "The ICE" and "The Nomad Circle," attendees enjoyed a diverse and enriching experience unlike any other.
