Description St. Moritz – Corviglia

The large ski area around St. Moritz consists of several, in some cases quite large, ski resorts. The largest ski area is located around Piz Nair and Corviglia and is the closest to St. Moritz.

There are several ways to start your ski day. From St. Moritz Bad, the large-cabin Signal cable car takes you directly into the ski area. From St. Moritz Dorf, you can enter the area in two sections via Chantarella with a funicular railway. From the nearby village of Celerina, a six-person gondola lift leads into the area.

From the top station of the Signal cable car, you can glide further up to Munt da S. Murezzan with a detachable four-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods (almost all four-seater chairlifts in this area have weather protection hoods). The four-seater chairlifts from Salastrains and from Randolins/Paradiso also end up here. The intermediate runs down to Paradiso are highly recommended, as they stretch across wide, treeless slopes.

You can also ski down to Suvretta. A double chairlift then takes you back up to the Randolins four-seater chairlift. From the top station of the four-seater chairlifts, you can access all the runs on this side. An easy run leads to Corviglia. At 2,486 m, the funicular from St. Moritz Dorf also ends here. Easy and intermediate slopes lead down to Marguns, which is 200 meters lower. This is where the six-person gondola lift from Celerina ends. With Switzerland’s first detachable six-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods, you glide up to Trais Fluors. From here, runs of all difficulty levels start. The Princess and Mezzauna runs lead over to the Glüna four-seater chairlift. Following this lift, there is the detachable three-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods, Fuorcla Grischa, which takes you up to Piz Grisch.

From Corviglia, you can also take the aerial cableway up to the 3,057 m high Piz Nair and on the backside ski to the Lej de la Pesch four-seater chairlift. This lift also ends at Piz Grisch. From here, a long run leads back down to Marguns. The detachable four-seater chairlifts Marguns-Corviglia and Plateau Nair take you back up to Corviglia. From here, you can reach all valley runs – to St. Moritz Bad/Signal, to St. Moritz Dorf (this run ends at the edge of St. Moritz and you have to walk about 500 meters through town to the funicular), and to Celerina.

A ski route branches off from the valley run to Celerina to Samedan. From Samedan, you can return to St. Moritz in just a few minutes with the Rhaetian Railway via Celerina. The ski area offers runs for everyone, and advanced skiers will also be thrilled by the long and challenging slopes, as well as the many off-piste descents.
