Ski St Moritz as the 'home of winter sports' in the Alps. Ski holidays here offer luxury and fantastic piste conditions for skiing & snowboarding in Switzerland's finest. Read our review to find out more.

Where

Packed with tradition, ski St Moritz to enter a traditional Swiss village. An important spa town since the Middle Ages, it sits in the Engadine valley, beneath the 4000m Piz Bernina. With five high altitude areas, (Corviglia, Corvatsch, Furtschellas, Diavolezza and Lagalb) and over 350km of piste there will always be plenty of snow. Zurich is the nearest airport about 3.5 hours away.

On the slopes

The St Moritz ski resort offers something for all skiers. Beginners should start at the nursery slopes at Corviglia, reached by funicular, or Celerina, while intermediates will enjoy the long open runs, such as the 6km Hahensee long run from Corvatsch to St Moritz Bad. Advanced skiers will enjoy the black runs at Diavolezza, the moguls at Lagalb, and the off-piste challenges at Piz Noir. There's plenty for boarders, with great piste and a terrain park in Corviglia.

Ski area

If you ski St Moritz you are in the Swiss ski region of Graubünden.

Off the slopes

You will find that ski holidays in St Moritz are split into two areas - Dorf, where you'll find the smart hotels and shops, and Bad, which is somewhat quieter. At the last count there were 74 restaurants in the resort - lots of choice, but few of them are cheap - expect to pay prices similar to London or Paris. Jöhri's Talvo, a Relais & Chateaux restaurants are highly recommended. If you fancy a day away from the slopes you'll find the world famous Cresta run, polo, golf, even cricket!

WE LIKE

  • Wonderful panoramic scenery in a "Best of the Alps" resort.
  • High, and fairly snow-sure, ensures you great snow throughout the season. High levels of sunshine as well.
  • The ski area is good and has terrain to suit most abilities. Vast range of winter sports on offer here.

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Very glitzy, the ostentatious show of wealth can be offputting for some
  • Not good for those on a tight budget, everything here is expensive.
  • You do need to commute between the three main skiing areas.
