Ski area Corviglia
The ski area Zuoz offers 5 lifts and 15 km of piste, which are mainly suited for families. However, there is also a funpark available, which is ideal for getting started in the freestyle scene. The next-larger ski area "Corviglia" (incl. Piz Nair and Marguns) is known as one of the most popular winter sports destinations and awaits you with 155 km of diverse pistes, accessible via 22 lifts and 4 conveyor belts. If you want to be on your skis early, you will find a breathtaking sunrise on the Piz Nair (3,057 m) and afterwards you can enjoy the freshly prepared pistes on your descent.
For all experts there is the 2 km long Olympic descent to try. The high-speed piste Nr. 15 makes it's speedy descent to Corviglia. Your time is shown on a large digital display when you cross the finish line. New to the area is the "Audi Ski Run" on the FIS piste No. 5. Here, not only can speed demons as well as families with children record their best times, but they can also record their run downhill, providing a timeless memory ready to view again and be shared via social media. Night owls will really get their money's worth every Friday during the Snow Night in Corvatsch. On the longest illuminated piste in Switzerland, you can keep skiing well into the night, and offsides turn night into day in one of the many snow bars and huts around you. Freestylers will find what they are looking for in this ski area, as the Corviglia snow park on the slope towards Marguns offers rails, boxes, corners and even a new fun slope, making it known as one of the best snow parks in Europe.
At many mountain stations, you'll have access to a free Wi-Fi hotspot.
Night skiing Corviglia
Switzerland offers several night ski areas where you can go night skiing on illuminated pistes after the regular opening hours. Not too far from Zuoz you can find the night ski area Corvatsch. On the longest night skiing piste in Switzerland, winter sports fans can go skiing until late at night. The approx. 4.2 km piste is illuminated for the so called "Snow Night" every Friday between 19:00 and 01:00 for night skiing. Should you get hungry during or after the night skiing fun, you can take a break in the cosy Restaurant Murtèl at the middle station. Tickets for the "Snow Night" are available in resort. For the other days, the night ski piste can be booked privately or for groups, so that you can enjoy night skiing without being interrupted (further information in resort).Après ski Corviglia
If you prefer to remain sporty in the afternoons, a tour on the sledge way at the Pizzet or a round on the ice rink of Zuoz are two options to try. The pretty surroundings can be explored from the winter hiking trails. If you are rather looking for relaxation, there are various public pool complexes and spa centres available - e.g. the Bellvita Erlebnisbad (activity pool) or the Spa in Pontresina, the family pools Zernet or the Mineralbad and Spa Samedan.
Snowpark Corviglia: Corviglia Snowpark Crowland
In the ski area "Corviglia" lies the Corviglia Snowpark "Crowland", the best place to be for all freestyle fans. Directly at the mountain station Corviglia, on the slope down to Margnus, a real freestyle paradise has come into existence. Just like the rest of the region, the park characterises itself though quality and diversity. An easy and a medium line, with 30 different obstacles, provide for a great playground for beginners and experienced freestylers alike. Kickers with 5 - 10 m tables, various boxes and rails, wallrides and rollers are prefect for getting some practice, but they are also repeatedly the venue for various contests.
A half-pipe and a bag jump can be found at the Snowpark Corvatsch and at the middle station Murtèl.
Even the small ski area of Zuoz has a funpark to offer, which is especially suited for beginners. First tricks and jumps can be practised on three kickers, various rails and a funbox. Further, there is a boardercross track available with waves and mounds.
