Corviglia - St Moritz

24 lifts, 71 slopes

These are the southern slopes directly above St. Moritz, so a rail funicular rises directly from the center to Corviglia. You can also climb here from the Bad St. Moritz area and the village of Celerina.

Thanks to the snow cannons, the entire season from November to May guarantees snow and excellent skiing conditions.

Corviglia has sections for intermediate skiers. Professionals and thrill-seekers will love the virgin slopes under Marguns and Suvretta stations. On the slope of Munt da San Murezzan, there is a fun park and a half-pipe with obstacles.

Corvatch - St Moritz

14 lifts, 64 slopes

Corvach is located on the opposite side of the valley and it takes 15 minutes to get there by bus, but this area is the most picturesque. It will be interesting for advanced skiers, but beginners will also find interesting slopes on Furtschellas, and experts will certainly appreciate the steep and winding descent to Bad St. Moritz along the black track number 5. At the highest point of 3303 m, there is a panoramic restaurant, and from it you can go down through the glacier along the red route No. 3 to Stuevetta Magun.

In short, the top of the Corvach has everything that can make a skier's heart beat faster. This is an icy slope, turning into the slopes located on the north side of the virgin lands, and special trails for off-piste ski tours. The route via Giand'Alva and Lake Hahnensee to the bus station in St. Moritz is especially appreciated. The difficult kilometer track to the bottom station of Surlej also proved to be excellent. But be careful! Some long runs that are red may be marked as difficult blue.

There are also two snowboard parks on the mountain. And the main feature of the resort is the Snow Night Party, when on the night from Friday to Saturday you can ride along the illuminated track from seven in the evening to two in the morning, and then keep up your tone with strong drinks until dawn.

Diavolezza - St Moritz

5 lifts, 17 slopes

This is the third area and is located half an hour from St. Moritz. You may find it too hard, but that is why the slopes here are half empty and there are no queues at the lifts. There is also a wonderful 3 km long black slope and stunning off-piste slopes, which are often completely free. But for beginner skiers it will be difficult and not very interesting here.

It also offers: Olympic ski jumps, tracks for cross-country skiing and northern all-around competitions, tracks for snowboarding.

Safari in St Moritz

In St. Moritz, you can arrange an excellent "safari" for experienced skiers: starting at the upper station of Furtschellas, which, after a large loop, leads to Surlei, then up again along the Korvatschbahn cable car, and finally down a flat slope to the resort of St. Moritz Bad. Then you can proceed to Mount da Sant Murezzan, from there down to the Chantarella intermediate station, then up to the Corviglia peak, where the cable car to Piz Nair starts. From there the descent to Marguns begins. From Marguns - up again to Las Trais Fluors and finally down to Celerina, from where the bus goes to the starting point of the "safari".
