When you go skiing in St Moritz glamour and luxury are not the only things to discover. Though the…read morerich and the beautiful like to come here in winter time, the ski resort is also famous for its numerous winter activities, for its warm ski huts, its snow and sun. St Moritz is one of the most important winter sports areas in Switzerland. Here you can find many miles of slopes at all difficulty levels. Not far away from the cozy chalets of St Moritz and Celerina a variety of broad slopes wait for the skiers and snowboarders, e.g. at the Munt da San Murrezan, at the Piz Nair or the Piz Schlattain where you can ski down to Celerina. Beside the alpine slopes there are other winter attractions to be enjoyed in the ski resort St Moritz - Corviglia. One of them is the big snow park situated between Corviglia and Marguns. It comes with almost all obstacles you wish for as well as a half pipe and a quarter pipe

Once there, you can enjoy watching the mountain goats grazing and begin hiking the Käse-Wanderweg which is a trail system that connects the many dairy farms in the hills of Voralberg. It is truly spectacular and should not be missed.

On-mountain restaurants were just ok - we were expecting more of a lively scene (we went to Andorra a few years ago and loved it - djs at lunch created a fun vibe). Infrastructure (gondala and lift system) is a+ though - no lines even though lots of people here during the holidays. Town is quaint but 4 nights is more than enough.

In Ischgl there is a free parking place next to the slopes. The scenery is amazing and the slopes are very well maintained. The gondolas equipment on the Austrian side is close to brand new. They have the latest technology employed there. For 2020 they are opening a massive spa/ sauna complex. I skied there for 7 days and it was spectacular. You have to go there to see for yourself how amazing it is. Five stars overall for service, location and friendly people.

My poor unsuspecting stepdaughter had no idea what she was in for, but the fun began taking the one-person sesselbahn up the mountain. Dangling under a cable with nothing more than a thin metal railing to keep her from plummeting down the mountain was a bit of a culture shock, I'm afraid. If only she understood German she would have known that Sommer rodelbahn, rodelbahn and alpine coaster all mean the same thing. A fun-as-hell, fast ride down a mountain! The rodelbahn, or (dry) toboggan run, is essentially a little cart on wheels, seated in a low metal half pipe with a stick to operate it. Push the stick forward and you go faster, pull it towards you and it slows you down. My Mr and I are big kids at heart (and assholes..) so we whipped down the run with as little braking as possible. Be careful though, you'll quickly reach high speeds and it is possible to fly out.. especially around tight corners. Stepdaughter took the cautious approach, but she ended up loving it! This über popular summer past time is fun for kids of all ages, and at around €7 a pop why would you not? Tickets include a lift ticket up to the mittelstation and a rodel down. If you feel like hiking up instead of taking the lift, rodeling is even cheaper.

Preis/Leistung stimmt nicht!

I found out about this ski resort recently and was really excited to check it out because it's less…read morethan an hour's drive from Zürich and only CHF 35 for a day lift ticket. They also accept REKA-cards, and there is free parking... so what's not to like? Unfortunately, I didn't get to go until today, but we lucked out with the reduced price of only CHF 29!! Woo-hoo!! Score!!! No idea why they reduced the prices today, but perhaps because the weather was nice and sunny. Almost like snowboarding at Mountain High in California. I had to peel off my layers after the first run because it was so warm. Yeah, the snow was a bit patchy in places and more icy than powder, but at least I wasn't freezing my butt off like when I was in Davos or Arosa. Too bad the card reader malfunctioned in the restaurant at lunch, so I had to pay with cash instead of my REKA-card. But usually they should also accept REKA-cards there. The resort is quite small, but it's perfect for beginners to practice without the huge crowds you get in Flumserberg and in other resorts. Quite family-friendly with lots of kids about. There is only one chair lift, and the rest are those T-bar type things, so I only rode the chair lift. But it takes you to a long blue slope which is perfect to practice on. If you get better, then you can graduate to several red slopes using the same chair lift. I didn't quite manage the red slopes today because the blue one was tough enough. It's actually quite steep, so good for snowboarders. But it was actually a bit too steep for me to practice carving properly. I chickened out and began braking about halfway down because I was picking up too much speed. But very good because there isn't so much walking at flat spots or even uphill parts like you find in other resorts that have the blue runs more geared towards skiers instead of snowboarders. All-in-all, a great find close to Zürich for beginners and families. There's no Après-ski scene if you are into that, but for someone new who needs to practice and doesn't want to shell out big bucks for a place where you don't even go on most of the runs, then this is perfect!
