Why St. Moritz
St. Moritz sits at about 1,800 m in the Upper Engadin, a high, wide valley known for dry snow and lots of sunshine. The skiing is spread over several separate mountains rather than one linked area: Corviglia right above town, Corvatsch across the valley above Silvaplana and Surlej, and Diavolezza and Lagalb toward the Bernina Pass. A regional lift pass covers them all, and buses and the Rhaetian Railway connect the valley stations. Beyond the slopes there are long sledge runs, frozen lakes, and the historic Olympia bob run.

When to go
The season usually runs from late November to around Easter, with Corvatsch and Diavolezza often opening first. January and early March are the sweet spots: cold, sunny, and quieter. February brings school holidays and the biggest events on the frozen lake. The valley is high, so mornings can be very cold — layers and a good hat matter more here than in lower resorts.
With kids
Start little skiers at the Snowli Kids Village at Salastrains, then move up to the easy blues on Corviglia and the runs down to Marguns. Sledging is the Engadin’s secret family weapon: Muottas Muragl is a great first long run, and Preda–Bergün is a day out older kids remember. Corvatsch and Diavolezza reach high altitude, so save them for calm, clear days and keep small children well wrapped up.
How to use this on ParkConnect
Open the map, search St. Moritz, and tap each card to jump to the pin. Each spot has its own page. After your trip, add a note on the pin — snow, which sledge runs were open, and how busy the kids’ area was — so the next family knows what to expect.
