On gastronomic theme, one can not forget that the IGNIV gourmet restaurant by Andreas Caminada@Badrutt’s Palace, a reference address for a “fine-dining-sharing experience” outside the box, won its first Michelin star just 9 months from opening thanks to 31-year-old chef Marcel Skibba and his team of 15 people. The focus in the kitchen is on the unmistakable taste of local products. Skibba knows well the high culinary expectations of Caminada: he has been a regular member of the chef’s cooking team since April 2015 and during the summer and autumn seasons, when IGNIV St. Moritz is closed, he continues to work as his sous chef in the tristellato Schloss Schauenstein.
