Introduction

Corvatsch is the highest viewpoint in the Upper Engadin valley where St. Moritz lies, about 3,303 m high. Taking the cable car from the valley to the summit station, a grand high-mountain glacier panorama unfolds—around are the Bernina range's 4,000 m-plus snow peaks and glaciers, and below the string of Upper Engadin lakes like Lake Sils, Lake Silvaplana and Lake St. Moritz; on clear days the view is open and grand. It is icy year-round, an important part of St. Moritz's ski area—winter is a ski resort with thrilling night skiing; summer you can take the cable car up for views or start high-mountain hikes from here. The summit has a viewing terrace and restaurant. A easy cable-car ride to overlook the Engadin's glacier peaks and lakes makes Corvatsch a stunning St. Moritz viewpoint.
