Top 6 Nature & Parks in St. Moritz, Swiss Alps

August 10, 2021 Weston Hennigan

Although originally known as a summer destination, when the first snowflakes land in St. Moritz, so do the international scenesters, bundled up in the latest "Must Have" accessories. During winter, catch a ride on the Glacier Express from Zermatt to arrive in style. Cable cars ascend to three nearby mountaintops. Hundreds of miles of ski trails and a frozen lake comprise the area's most popular sports venues. Follow the Romans example and try one of the city's mineral springs, such as St. Moritz Bader.

Lake of Staz (Lej da Staz)

Reviewed By luxuryvoyage - Switzerland, null

Popular easy walking route from either St. Moritz, Celerina or Pontresina to the lake of Staz in winter, summer and autumn. In summer, you can swim in the lake. The nearby restaurant is a hot spot during the whole year with an outside terrasse and an inside restaurant. In summer, you can rent a sun chair but the price is much too high, 90 swiss francs for the day (none of loungers was occupied when we were there).

Corvatsch 3303

Stunning Panorama The Bernina range in one direction, the lakes of the Upper Engadin valley in the other, views of a thousand Alpine peaks: hiking on Corvatsch - Furtschellas is so rewarding! The Water Trail is perfect for families, there is the Via Gastronomica for gourmets, and the Panoramic Trail for lovers of breathtaking views. A classic walk is the Hahnensee trail from Corvatsch to St. Moritz. Corvatsch, the sports mountain (Glacier) ski slopes, a snow park, freeriding areas, permanent snowshoe trails: Corvatsch has them all. The winter sports area extends from Sils via Silvaplana all the way to St. Moritz. Its altitude and the north-facing slopes mean that snow conditions are perfect from mid-November to early May. The cable car station at 3303 m above sea level is the highest in Graubünden and has stunning panoramic views.

I spent 6 weeks skiing through Switzerland and France in December and January the polenta and fig soup at 3303 was a knock out ! One of the best dishes of the trip ! Well worth going to this restaurant a highlight for many reasons !

Corviglia

Reviewed By mcom828 - Redwood City, United States

We skied Corviglia 3 times during our trip to St. Moritz. We accessed it via Signalbahn Cable Car which was a 5 minute walk from out hotel. Once exiting the cable car, the first chair lift climbs 2,100 ft to the top of the run used for FIS Downhill competitions. This is a wide open, 1.4 mile groomed ripping run with undulating terrain from mild to wild pitches.
