St. Moritz Travel Guide : Luxury Skiing & Alpine Resorts in Switzerland

The town is the centre of the Engadin ski area with 350 km of pistes, 200 km of cross-country trails, and 150 km of walks in winter. The personality of every ski area:

• Altitude: 1,800m-2,480 m.
• Good in-between and assured skiers.
• Highlights: Corviglia funicular, mountain dining at Chamanna and Paradiso, panoramic summit picturesque views on Piz Nair.

• Mountain and snow-capable; best suited to professionals and adventure lovers.
• Look up to cloud-piercing cars, long seasons, and Alpine restaurants in the altitudes of the movie theatres.

• Skiing along the glaciers with expansive scenery.
• It has a heli-skiing reputation, unlimited glacier descents and cable-car trips that are worth the ticket.

• The personalised family and refined travellers.
• Everything is effortless with gentle slopes, personal lifts and Suvretta House's smooth ski-valet service.

Pro Tip: You can download piste maps beforehand and label the runs you have to do on them, because the elevation can disorient you about what you were going to do.
