Ski & Snowboard

Feel the sun on your face and the powder under your feet the whole day long! For the region can lay claim to 350 km (217 miles) of ski pistes. Not to mention fantastic weather – the Upper Engadin is truly blessed with an abundance of sunshine. Thanks to its altitude of between 1,800 and 3,303 metres (5,906−10,837 ft) above sea level, snow is guaranteed.

Moreover, the highly modern ski lifts ensure a minimum of waiting time and a maximum of efficiency in a region that is renowned for its variety – after all, it was here that winter tourism was born almost 150 years ago. Carving paradises, freeride slopes, spacious nursery slopes and a glacier downhill run lure snow sport aficionados in every direction. When it comes to snow, Engadin St. Moritz has it all.

Corviglia, Corvatsch and Diavolezza are synonymous for awe-inspiring experiences on skis. You’ll find almost everything in Switzerland’s largest snowsport region, from extensive, well-known areas with a wide range of offers to smaller, family-friendly, village skilifts. Not forgetting the numerous panorama restaurants, ski huts and snowbars, all bursting with ambiance and promising lively après-ski fun.
 
Incidentally: St. Moritz has entered its candidacy to hold the 2017 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. This would be the 5th time for the town to stage the World Championships after 1934, 1948, 1974 and 2003.
