Quaint alpine villages and great skiing entice travelers to the Grisons. The sparsely populated region of eastern Switzerland contains the source of the Rhine and Inn rivers, 140 square miles of glaciers and dense pine forests. Join the ski action at the resorts of St. Moritz, Davos and Arosa or stake a lofty claim with a visit to Juf, which boasts the highest altitude of any inhabited village in the Alps. In summer, take a hike through the Engadine Valley in the unspoiled beauty of Swiss National Park.

Was able to park and walk onto the bobsled run area while the Swiss championships were underway. Very cool to see this sport up close and personal. Was able to go to the start line as well a bit later. Didn't splurge for the ride down with two professionals however as that was quite pricy.

We are a small group of professional, qualified and experienced instructors, who are eager to share our enthusiasm, ability, and experience with everyone interested in improving their technique. With our instructors you will gain the confidence and the ability needed to enjoy each element of the skiing experience.
We had a great weekend in St. Moritz. We had an amazing experience in EnderSports. All the associates were super helpful and friendly. And Dario, our instructor from PassionSki, super friendly, went above and beyond to accommodate both of us, with zero skiing knowledge. Thanks again guys, and hopefully we'll be back soon! :)

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 !

Views from the Jakobshorn are spectacular. The ride to the top is via a middle stop at the Jschalp Bergrestaurant. The cable car takes you above 2500 m where you will see stunning views of the Alps.

3060 metres long, 480 metres vertical difference, 31 curves - those who are familiar with these sort of toboggan runs will need no further explanation. For those who may be not, this is a fast but perfectly safe way of hurtling down the mountain side, around bends and over bumps and bridges. This is Switzerland's longest such run; depending on how fast you want to go, the run can take between five and seven minutes. With excitement all the way down, the wind in your face and the mountain landscape zooming past. The chair lift ride up is relaxing and interesting enough in itself, and those interested in mechanical things will find the method of getting the toboggans up to the top of the run fascinating. Then comes the run downhill: first a series of fast curves, backwards and forwards across the mountain side, then followed by a long straight section to build up plenty of speed before having to slow down for the finish. Your seat belt, hand brake and automatic speed brake will ensure that nothing can go wrong. Set in a spectacular Swiss landscape with wonderful views of the mountains around. It may seem expensive (but then nothing in Switzerland is cheap) for a single run, but you will certainly want to do two or more which reduces the cost. Children and Halbtax/GA holders also get reductions, and if you are able to arrive early (just after opening time) then there is a 2-for-the-price-of-1 offer in the summer. Practical information: ample car parking (pay and display) is available. Children from 3 can ride accompanied by an adult, children from age 8 can ride alone or together with an adult or child over 12. Also at the top there is a restaurant and rope adventure park, and at the bottom there is a fascinating ball run and a ride on train. The run is also open in the winter, with all of the usual ski and snow activities besides.
