Portrayal
There are many beautiful spots to discover in Switzerland, but no other region offers more highlights than the resort of Engadine St. Moritz. Piz Nair rises high over the St. Moritz skiing area of Corviglia Marguns, the largest contiguous region in the Engadine.
Piz Nair is located at 3,057 metres in the canton of Graubünden and is part of the Albula mountain range. It is often referred to as the 'local mountain of St. Moritz'. The mountain hosted the Alpine skiing events for the 1948 Olympic Winter Games in St. Moritz. The downhill race's starting line was on the Piz Nair at an altitude of 2,700 metres.
Piz Nair is the best choice to enjoy the magnificent views of the Upper Engadine!
Piz Nair in winter
In winter, Piz Nair is only accessible by the 2,429 metres long and modern cable car. In summer, there is also a comfortable hike to conquer the 534 metres in altitude between the valley and the mountain station at 3,057 metres.
Snow-covered mountainsides sparkling in the sun and a wide valley captivating with its fascinating beauty. In other words: a perfect snow sports paradise. Winter sports enthusiasts can choose from more than 350 km of pistes in the four large and comprehensive skiing areas of Corviglia/Piz Nair, Corvatsch, Diavolezza/Lagalb and Zuoz as well as five other small and excellent areas. Thanks to the high altitude and its artificial snowmaking facilities, Engadine St. Moritz always impresses with plenty of snow.
Piz Nair in summer
The 'Black Peak' and its sporty neighbours! Hikers love the mountains and the energy of the alpine environment, which there is plenty of at Piz Nair, Corviglia and Marguns. On a beautiful day, the view can reach up to the Upper Engadine lakes and almost extend to Maloja. A scenery revealing green rolling hills, streams and lakes and a kaleidoscope of options to explore the alpine world with hiking boots.
From the village square, Piz Nair at 3,057 metres is easily accessible in three stages. Two funiculars transport passengers from the village to Chantarella and subsequently to Corviglia, where the modern and convenient cable car finally connects Corviglia with its mountain station at the top of Piz Nair. The summit drops sharply in all directions but the descent can safely be ventured if equipped with suitable hiking boots. Enjoy this stunning hike leading through Val Suvretta or by following the 'Höhenweg' and Val Schlattain, passing Lej Alv where the world's highest running track is located.
A more challenging hike (approx. 4 hours) provides the trail starting at Piz Nair, passing Lake Suvretta and following Val Bever to Spinas. There are options to take a ride back to Bever by train or by horse-drawn carriage. The trails are signposted and well maintained. The entire area is under plant protection due to its botanical treasures. Piz Nair clearly offers the best views of the Upper Engadine!
