St. Moritz

It should be clear from the sheer number of international ski events held there that St. Moritz offers world-class skiing. There were Winter Olympics held here in 1928 and 1948, and the Olympic ski jump frequently hosts contests.

There is a lot of ski terrain available to non-Olympians as well. With more than 20 lift options, St. Moritz offers slopes and pistes for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. The resort is renowned for its long intermediate runs and another great intermediate terrain. The 2,486-meter village of Corviglia, which is accessible from the town by the Corviglia Funicular, has trails with breathtaking Alpine views that rise over St. Moritz.

One of Europe's first winter resorts—or even the first, according to some—St. Moritz continues to draw affluent visitors and exudes a definite air of elegance. Ice skating, tobogganing, Nordic skiing, bobsledding, and kite skiing are just a few of the activities available alongside skiing.
