A WINTER WONDERLAND FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT
Snow-covered slopes sparkling in the sun and a wide, high valley, bewitch-
ing in its multifaceted beauty. In short: an absolute snow sports paradise. The
sun-blessed Upper Engadin has repeatedly been designated by the authoritative
ADAC ski guides as the Alpine ski region with the greatest variety. After
staging four Alpine World Ski Championships and two Winter Olympic Games,
St. Moritz is proud to have been chosen by the International Ski Federation (FIS)
to host the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in 2017. In addition, Graubünden
is bidding with St. Moritz and Davos to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. In the
four large ski areas of Corviglia/Piz Nair, Corvatsch, Diavolezza/Lagalb and Zuoz,
as well as in five other small but special areas, winter sports fans have 350km
(217 miles) of slopes waiting to be explored. Every skier and snowboarder, from
beginner up to expert level, can find perfect slopes to suit their ability. Thanks
to the high altitude and the modern artificial snowmaking facilities, Engadin
St. Moritz is snow-sure. Throughout the area, 34 mountain restaurants cater
to visitors’ physical wellbeing, offering mouth-watering gastronomic variety.
Another attraction is the early start of the winter season. Up on the Diavolezza,
snow sports fans can indulge their passion as early as 20 October 2012.
