The slopes

Take the lift up to the Corviglia area which has nursery slopes and some wide open pistes. Celerina also has good nursery slopes in the village.
Intermediates
The Corviglia and Piz Nair area offers 95kms of long cruising runs and a variety of runs back to the resort. Try the Hahnensee run from the Corvatsch back to St. Moritz Bad which is 8km long descending 900m, or the 8km run back from Piz Nair to Celerina.
Advanced
Lagalb and Diavolezza have the most punishing pistes particularly the Lagalb run which is non-stop moguls. There are tough off-piste runs from the Piz Nair and the Corvatsch.
Snowboarding
The huge variety will keep the freeriders amongst you happy, try the area around Piz Nair to get you going and the slopes of Corvalgia to lay some turns. Freestylers will not have to look very far, St. Moritz has a pipe and there are plenty of kickers both natural and man made to keep you amused.
