Offering a blend of glamour, lifestyle, sport and unspoiled nature, St. Moritz has hosted the Winter Olympics twice and is home to the Cresta Run, a world-championship bobsled run created from natural ice.

The ski area St. Moritz - Corviglia is part of the large ski alliance Engadin St. Moritz, which offers 155km of slopes and comprises of 5 smaller ski resorts; the family-friendly St. Moritz - Corviglia, the more demanding Corvatsch, the high alpine Diavolezza/Lagalb, Celerina near St. Moritz and the family paradise Zuoz.

The mountain Corviglia is situated in the heart of the ski alliance at an altitude of 2486m and the ski schools in St. Moritz use the local slopes of Marguns (2278m), Salastrains (2048m), Signal (2130m), the Munt da San Murezzan (2659m), Corviglia (2489m) and the Piz Nair - the highest mountain of the resort at 3057m - for their lessons.

Ski lessons for beginners in St. Moritz

Ski schools in St. Moritz offer primarily private lessons, which offer highly focused help and so ensures faster learning progress. Group ski lessons are available for adult skiers of all levels, lessons lasting 2hrs per day and groups having a minimum of 2 participants. The meeting point for lessons is at the AUDI QUATTRO Bar in Corviglia.

In the very first ski lessons, the ski schools in St. Moritz focus on the basic moves of the snowplough and glide. These lessons take place on the flattest slopes within the resort, to ensure that the novice skiers have the minimum of stress whilst familiarising themselves with their equipment. Once these two moves are well-established, lessons progress to slopes with a slight gradient and the snowplough turn is introduced.

The ski schools in St. Moritz take their skiers with previous experience directly to slopes that suit their ability. The instructors ensure that the skiers are competent in each skiing technique before new skills are learned.

Ski beginners have a range of easy slopes to practice on after lessons, the blue runs no. 27 & 28 being recommended by the ski schools in St.Moritz, as they lead directly back to the town.

Kids’ ski lessons in St. Moritz

The ski schools in St. Moritz focus on private ski lessons for kids aged 3yrs and above. Private lessons ensure that the little skier receives individual attention, meaning that the basics can be learned thoroughly and more quickly. Private ski lessons are booked for either a half or full day at a time, the meeting point for lessons being arranged individually.

As with the adult lessons for first-time skiers, the ski schools in St. Moritz firstly teach their young ski novices the two techniques of the glide and the snowplough. These lessons generally take place either on the beginner slopes of the Salastrains area, which is just about St. Moritz, or on the easy slopes around the Corviglia area, which is accessed by the Corviglia Funicular directly from the town.

Young skiers who have previously skied are taken directly to slopes that suit their ability, whether blue, red or even black. Here, the ski schools in St. Moritz focus on optimising the skier’s style and posture, and on introducing more challenging techniques and terrains, such as carving and freeride skiing.

For both intermediate and less advanced skiers, the ski schools in St. Moritz recommend heading up to the Plateau Nair at 2656, which is the starting point for several red runs plus the blue no.5 run.
