SKI AND SNOWBOARD
SLOPES AND FREERIDE
CORVATSCH TIPS
Early birds can carve down from the
Corvatsch peak towards the Fuorcla
Surlej accompanied by the day’s first
sunbeams.
Late risers can enjoy the day’s last
sunbeams and the view over the Upper
Engadin lake scenery at the Giand’Alva.
Bad weather skiers can opt for good
visibility conditions and the great slopes
of the Furtschellas descent.
SNOW FUN AT UP TO 3,303 METERS
Fast skiers can measure their speed
on the free speed-skiing course at the
Osteria Rabgiusa in Furtschellas.
Enjoy the snow fun with over 1,500 meters of altitude differences,
120 km of slopes and a lot of powdery trails. The Corvatsch is the
mountain for snow sport lovers in search of the best slopes, the best
snow and the longest trails.
The snow sports area of the Corvatsch extends from Sils to Silvaplana and on to St. Moritz. Snow
athletes can enjoy 120 km of slopes set in the fantastic Engadin
winter scenery with plenty of free
ride areas in between.
The star of the ski mountains
The altitude and the northern exposure provide phenomenal slope
conditions from mid-November to
the beginning of May: they are the
reason why the Corvatsch has been
11
the ‘star of the ski mountains’ for
50 years.
For athletes and families
The 15 transportation facilities of
both mountains bring an important
diversity to the area. The Corvatsch
and its station magically attract
slope carvers and deep powder
snow lovers. The smooth Furtschellas, however, is a well-kept secret
for families and people seeking
tranquility and enjoyment.

MURTÈL MIDDLE STATION
LA CHÜDERA
The self-service restaurant is the linchpin of the skiing resort. The restaurant
offers pizza, fast-food meals, a giant salad buffet and many other culinary
delights. Inside the bistro the snow athletes power up with snacks and coffee.
The sun terrace is a perfect spot for lazing around.
The La Chüdera restaurant on the Furtschellas is a real insider’s tip: enjoy the
magnificent view of the lakes and the mountains, homemade pasta in the Stübli,
classic dishes like Bratwurst and Rösti (sausage and potatoes) in the self service
area and a cozy coffee lounge. Remo Eschle and his team will surprise you.

KUHSTALL
RESTORANT ALPETTA
Where cows are kept in summer, people dine in winter. The Kuhstall (literally
the ‘cow barn’) at the Furtschellas descent is unique and also a little bit crazy
– just like the restaurant’s host Freddie Zwimpfer. In the daytime he dishes up
hearty meals and in the evening he serves gourmet dishes and plays party
sounds. Don’t miss out on the Kuhstall experience!
The rustic and cozy hut awaits the athletes in the middle of the Chastelets slope.
Host Dorigo, an Engadin local, serves tasty regional meals, such as grill
specialties, meat dishes from his own hunting, polenta prepared in a big pot,
and fine wines.

OSTERIA RABGIUSA
STÜVETTA GIAND’ALVA
The big sun terrace of the Osteria Rabgiusa got even more welcoming this past
winter. It was renovated and equipped with a windscreen last summer. The
ideally located ski hut between the Furtschellas and the Corvatsch is the place
for all those who are looking for tranquility or need a little snack.
The Stüvetta Giand’Alva offers regional dishes such as barley soup, the Bündner
Plättli (a selection of cold meat) or Pizzoccheri (buckwheat tagliatelle). When
the weather is good, the cozy terrace invites visitors to linger for a while. The
perfect stop before the Hahnensee run!

This slope, located in a calm place, is probably the nicest run of the Engadin.
The Hahnensee slope leads to St. Moritz Bad and is truly a dream – just as exquisite as the hearty cuisine of the Restaurant Hahnensee. The view of the
