Ski Areas Around Bever: Corviglia, Corvatsch & Diavolezza at a Glance

Skiing in the Upper Engadine

Around Bever lie several large ski areas, all within a short distance. Together they offer over 350 kilometres of pistes at altitudes that guarantee snow reliability into spring. Here is an overview of which area suits whom – and why Bever is so practical as a base.

Corviglia – the flagship of St. Moritz

Accessed from St. Moritz and Celerina, Corviglia is the best-known ski area in the region: wide, sunny pistes, modern lifts and glamorous mountain restaurants. Ideal for pleasure-oriented skiers and everyone seeking the flair of St. Moritz. From the summit of Piz Nair magnificent views open up, and the connection down to Celerina or Marguns makes varied days possible.

Corvatsch – high, wide, spectacular

The Corvatsch area above Silvaplana and Sils reaches over 3,300 metres and is therefore especially snow-sure. Long descents, the famous night piste and magnificent views of the chain of lakes make it a favourite among sporty skiers. The valley descent to Sils is one of the longest in the region.

Diavolezza and Lagalb – the high mountains

In the Val Bernina lie the facing areas of Diavolezza and Lagalb. Diavolezza scores with its glacier backdrop around Piz Palü and Piz Bernina, as well as the legendary glacier descent across the Morteratsch Glacier – an ungroomed run of around 8 km for experienced skiers that ends at Morteratsch station. Lagalb is considered a sporty, steep insider area with demanding slopes. Here the high mountains feel within touching distance.

Smaller areas and beginners

Alongside the big four there are compact, family-friendly slopes, for example near Zuoz/Madulain or Pontresina, ideal for beginners, children and quiet ski days away from the bustle. Snow sports schools in the region offer courses for all ages, and practice lifts make the first turns easier.

One ski pass for everything

With the regional ski pass, all the Upper Engadine areas are usually combined, so you can explore a different area each day. From Bever you reach all the valley stations by car or the well-developed ski bus – a real advantage of location, because none of the areas is significantly closer than another.

Ideal from Bever

Those who stay in Bever have roughly the same distance to every area. Decide in the morning where the sun and snow suit best, and return to the quiet in the evening – that is the luxury of a central, quiet base. A holiday apartment with a ski room makes storing the equipment easier. Ski holidays in Bever
