Your Key To St Moritz, The World’s Playground

Glacier descent Diavolezza-Morteratsch The glacier decent Diavolezza-Morteratsch is the longest of its sort in Switzerland and is open from the end of January to March. After a comfortable gondola ride to the Diavolezza mountain station, the breath-taking experience starts straight away. The ten kilometer long ski slope guides you along a 45 minute passage through the imposing ice world of the Morteratsch and Pers Glaciers and ends at the glacial tongue in front of the terrace of the restaurant at the Rhaetian Railway’s Morteratsch train station. The descent route is secured but not prepared and largely corresponds to the degree of difficulty of a red slope (Swiss standard). During full moon, unforgettable Glüna Plaina (Romanic: full moon) descents are offered starting from the Diavolezza mountain restaurant over the gentle rolling hills into the valley.
