Corvatsch
Piz Corvatsch
A cable car climbs to the 3,303 m summit station, with Lake Sils and Lake Silvaplana strung out below. In winter, there is Switzerland's longest night run.
From the foot of the mountain at Surlej, near Silvaplana, take two cable cars up to the 3,303 m summit station. The observation terrace faces Lake Sils, Lake Silvaplana and the distant Bernina peaks, the classic vantage point for lake views in the Upper Engadine. The ski season is long, often lasting until early May. In winter, a night ski run of about 4.2 km opens on Friday evenings, and the long Hahnensee run descends to the St. Moritz Bad bathing area. In summer, you can hike from the intermediate station Murtèl to Fuorcla Surlej to view the Roseg Glacier. It is cold at the top, so bring warm clothing and sun protection.
Opening hours
