The sectors are not lift connected and only Corviglia can be reached directly from St. Moritz. St Moritz skiing offers plenty of opportunities to learn and benefits from some excellent ski schools. However, it is not the most convenient resort for beginners, with areas dotted across the mountain at Corviglia, Salastrains and Celerina.
Skiing in St Moritz is paradise for intermediates with easy, well-groomed red runs on Corviglia, perfect for high-speed cruising. There are enough demanding slopes dotted around each sector to keep expert skiers happy, from the World Cup downhill course at Corviglia to the testing terrain found on Diavolezza and Lagalb. Seasoned skiers and snowboarders can also enjoy some excellent off-piste adventures.
Guaranteed snow cover combined with diverse landscape means that St Moritz cross-country skiing is also extremely popular. Those up for a challenge can tackle the demanding 42 km Engadin Ski Marathon route from Maloja to S-chanf. For a gentler pace, glide across the frozen lakes of Silsersee, Silvaplanersee or Champfèrersee.
