Ski area

There are three distinct areas totalling over 300km of very well-groomed slopes, and whilst not linked by lifts, they are accessed by a good network of shuttles or train. Closest to the village is Corviglia with wide, cruisey runs, then higher up Corvatsch has more challenging terrain, and Diavolezza-Lagalb is where the experts head.

 

 

Pistes

St Moritz boasts some very long runs, mostly all above the tree line. The slopes around Corviglia are great for beginners and intermediates, with gentle blues and quieter slopes, together with some challenging reds. Try the Olympic Downhill course on your way down! Corvatsch is famous for its 10km black descent – the Hahnensee – and Diavolezza goes one better with a 10km ungroomed Morteratsch glacier run.

 

 

Restaurants

Dining on and off the slopes here doesn’t disappoint. From the two Michelin starred Da Vittorio and La Coupole Matsuhisa for sushi and fusion dishes in town, to Langosteria serving excellent seafood with sweeping views, and Chesa Veglia in a 17th century farmhouse with its woodfired pizzas and traditional menu – you are spoilt for choice.

 

 

Après ski

There’s plenty of partying after a day on the slopes. On the mountain head for Paradiso for a sunny terrace and DJ sets, or sip cocktails at Sternbar Marguns. Friday evenings are the time to visit Hossa Bar. For a sophisticated end to your day, make your way to the Renaissance Bar at Badrutt’s Hotel for champagne by the fire.

 

 

Unique to St Moritz

Nowhere other than this resort can boast a lake that hosts cool and glamorous events throughout the winter. From high goal polo and horse racing, to classic car racing. There’s even cricket and golf! And let’s not forget the St Moritz Tobogganing Club and its world famous natural ice Cresta Run.
