Raffi’s 50th Birthday
St Moritz 2025
Our story begins, as many good ones do, with a slightly over-ambitious host
and a simple idea: what if everyone actually came this time?
What if “we should all go skiing together” actually became real?
They crossed borders and time zones;
for a few precious days, their calendars aligned.
A few snow-dusted days together -
on the same mountain, at the same table.
Join us in St Moritz for three unforgettable days of skiing, celebration, and good company at the iconic Kulm Hotel.
