Alice-Miranda in the Alps

Overview

Join Alice-Miranda for snowy escapades in stunning Switzerland

Alice-Miranda and her friends are off to Switzerland to ski, sightsee, and experience the unique White Turf racing event. St. Moritz is as glamorous, as they expected and their hotel is beyond belief—as are its owners, the overly friendly Otto Fanger and his frosty wife, Delphine Doerflinger. Mid-holiday, the Baron, a close friend of Alice-Miranda's family, reappears after being mysteriously uncontactable, and the group head across the country to stay at the Grand Hotel Von Zwicky. The resort town of Zermatt is full of charm, but underneath the picturesque exterior are glimpses of shady dealings and unsavory characters. Can Alice-Miranda work out who is involved in time to save the Baron's beloved hotel?
