Nestled in the Engadin Valley, among the lofty heights of The Corviglia and Piz Bernina mountains, the St Moritz ski resort slots neatly into its grand surroundings with an impeccable reputation. Kickstarting winter tourism over 150 years ago, the world places great faith in these slopes, calling on them to host two Winter Olympic Games and five Ski World Championships, with excellent success.
The resort has an impressive 87 groomed pistes over 50km, including slopes for intermediate skiers, advanced skiers and expert skiers. A playground for the rich and famous of all abilities, the area also has a state-of-the-art infrastructure, linking three ski areas together via 42 lifts - extending your reach to cover 300km of high-altitude skiing opportunities and winter activities. For a real challenge, head to the Piz Nair Wall, the steepest slope in Switzerland with a 100% vertiginous drop! Alternatively, try out the Cresta Run, which is a natural ice skeleton racing toboggan track for adrenaline-fuelled fun.
Between St Moritz skiing sessions, there’s a wide range of places to stop for a snack or a hearty dish of regional delicacies. Admire the wonderful views of Lake St.Moritz and the snow-covered mountains as you relax.
Always ahead of other ski resorts, St. Moritz is also home to the world’s first yoga slope, which proves that skiing itself can be as relaxing as any indulgent spa treatments on offer at the resort’s luxury hotels or iconic St Moritz alpine style chalets.
