Corvatsch ski lift opening

corvatsch-ski-lifts-openingThe ski season gets into full swing in St. Moritz: after the opening of the Diavolezza ski resort on October 20, preparations are now underway to open the slopes on Corvatsch.

Between 1,800 and 3,303 meters in altitude wind the slopes of the Corvatsch ski area in the heart of the Upper Engadin, served by 14 ski lifts and a full 120 km of slopes for all tastes.

This paradise for skiers and snowboarders is one of the most famous resorts in all of Switzerland and every year attracts thousands of snow enthusiasts who head up to high altitude to admire the fantastic scenery and carve the snow of these mountains which, here in the Canton of Graubünden in Switzerland, characterize winter with heavy snowfalls capable of providing abundant snow until late spring.

Once again this year, Corvatsch lives up to expectations and is preparing for the opening of its ski lifts on Saturday, November 17. On this first weekend of skiing, 4 lifts and 4 slopes will be available for snow lovers, listed below:

Open lifts:
– 1st section Surlej – Murtèl cable car
– 2nd section Murtèl – Corvatsch 3,303 cable car
– Mandra drag lift
– Alp Surlej chairlift

Open slopes:
– Standard slope (no. 1)
– Dürrenast slope (no. 1a)
– Mandra slope with Jib-Line for Freestylers (no. 6)
– Chastelets slope down to Alp Surlej (night slope no. 10) [the valley run from Alp Surlej remains closed]

In addition, for those who want to take a break along the slopes, the 3303 panoramic restaurant (offering a stunning view over the entire Engadin valley), the Murtèl restaurant at the middle station, and the “Alpetta” mountain hut (open on weekends) are open.

It is also worth mentioning the “ski pass included” promotion, which is still active and valid at Corvatsch as well.
