St Moritz - Corviglia

St Moritz sees itself as the world’s oldest ski resort and many consider this Swiss skiing paradise to be the center of Europe. Luxury and money is very present here, and so is the snow.

St Moritz is a large ski region split into five lift systems, of which Corviglia is one. The ski village is located at 1,850 meters altitude and offers skiing as high up as at 3,300 meters. Unique for St Moritz is that the timberline is a bit further up than what’s normal in the alps, allowing for skiing in wonderful tree runs with unusually fluffy snow.

Corviglia has a total piste length of 155 kilometers and with Corviglia situated just next to the Italian border, one can ski in both Italy and Switzerland on one and the same day. There are runs here for everyone.

As previously mentioned, both St Moritz and Corviglia are relatively expensive places. The village has several luxurious shops and trendy bars and restaurants.
