 Poster: A snowHead
|
It looks like I will be going to St. Moritz from a Saturday to Saturday in late Feb/ early March in 2025. I won't have a car so I was wondering if there are any non-St. Moritz ski resorts within striking distance for a day trip while there in case if I get bored skiing the pistes at various St. Moritz mountains or for a few days afterwards. I will be flying into and from Zurich. Bivio looks like an option, but it is small.
Additionally, does anyone know of a guiding company for downhill off-piste skiing where I as one person could join a group? Me hiring a guide myself is incredibly outside my budget it isn't even funny.

@skimachine, plenty to do in St. Moritz for a week, but if you want something different then Pontressina/Bernina Pass/Diavolezza and Piz Lagalb are absolutely worth a visit. Diavolezza for the off piste run down the the Morteratsch Glacier. A different kind of skiing. Lagalb on a powder day is simply fantastic!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

P.S I really hope the Morteratsch run still exists. I know they have been battling to keep the glacier viable... I was last there in winter about 30 years ago

Sorry, I was considering Corviglia, Corvatsch and Diavolezza/Lagalb as part of St. Moritz.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@skimachine, St Moritz is fairly isolated, nothing else of note ski related nearby. You can get to Klosters using the train but it takes a while (generally have to change) and probably too far for a days ski trip. Davos is in theory possible but the trip is probably of more appeal to train enthusiasts than skiers. Geographically Livigno is not far but the pass at the southern end is usually closed in winter and the other access is via a one way road tunnel, there are buses from Zernez but not practical for a one day ski trip.
If you are really keen on guided off piste there are better options such as Arlberg, Verbier or Zermatt, other places too.

In that case you have more than enough to keep you busy for a week. As stated, there is not much else nearby, esp without car.
