European piste grades: blue easy · red intermediate · black advanced.
St. Moritz sits at 1,822 m beside its lake in the Engadin. The mountain directly above the town is Corviglia, 155 km of pistes on 24 lifts, reached by the Chantarella funicular from St. Moritz Dorf, the Signal cable car from St. Moritz Bad, or the Marguns gondola from Celerina. Corviglia is at 2,486 m, and a cable car runs on to Piz Nair at 3,057 m. Corvatsch and Diavolezza share the regional pass but are separate mountains, reached by bus or train.
