Lykkers, imagine funiculars gliding from lake level to sky‑high terraces, panoramic cars threading UNESCO tracks, and a century‑old ice track still delivering adrenaline.

St. Moritz pairs mountain ease with polished experiences that stay memorable in every season.

Muottas Muragl

Ride the historic funicular from Punt Muragl to 2,454 meters for sweeping Upper Engadin views, hiking loops like the Philosophers’ Trail, and a sunset schedule that runs late into the evening. Summer 2025 hours run roughly 07:45–23:00 with departures at :15 and :45, making blue‑hour dinners and last lifts easy to plan.

Day return tickets price at CHF 42.50, CHF 28.30 teens, CHF 14.20 kids; evening returns from 18:00 drop to CHF 18/12/6. In winter, the famed toboggan run posts separate day and half‑day fares plus optional sled rental at the valley station.

Piz Nair

Ascend in three legs—Chantarella funicular, Corviglia train, then the Piz Nair cable car—to reach a 3,000‑meter summit terrace with 360° views of peaks and lakes. The route operates at frequent intervals, and signage is clear at each change for a smooth, 25–30‑minute ride to the top station. Pedestrian “3000 m” tickets are available across the Corviglia system; check current pricing bands listed under pedestrian tariffs.

Bernina Express

From St. Moritz, ride south through the Bernina Pass to Tirano on panoramic coaches that cross UNESCO‑listed viaducts, glaciers, and turquoise lakes. Seat reservations for the short sector are currently CHF 32 each way year‑round and are required for panoramic cars.

With a Swiss Travel Pass, the rail fare is covered; only the reservation is paid—book early in peak months. Official RhB pricing tables list examples like St. Moritz–Tirano point‑to‑point to help compare options if traveling without a pass.

Diavolezza Views

Take the RhB to Bernina Diavolezza, then the 10‑minute cable car to the 2,978‑meter station overlooking the Morteratsch and Pers ice flows. Typical summer returns price at CHF 44, CHF 29.50 youth, CHF 14.50 children, with combination lunch or rail‑lift bundles offered on select days.

Expect brisk air even in July; platforms and mellow trails reward unhurried, scenic pauses above the glacier tongues. Some travel planners also note combo rail/cable offers and seasonal promos—check current listings before you go.

Corvatsch Summit

South of town, two swift cable sections rise from Surlej to Corvatsch for big‑screen alpine panoramas across Piz Bernina, Palü, and Roseg. 2025 returns to the very top list at CHF 64, CHF 42.70 teens, and CHF 21.30 children, with lower pricing to the mid‑station at Murtèl. Weather windows change quickly, so favor morning starts for clarity and leave time to linger at the ridge cafés and decks.

Segantini Museum

This domed landmark presents the largest ensemble of Giovanni Segantini’s Engadin works, including the celebrated triptych shown under the rotunda. Current opening hours generally run Tue–Sun 11:00–17:00 across summer and winter seasons, with a short spring closure.

Admission typically posts at CHF 15, CHF 10 students (16–25), and CHF 3 ages 6–16; under‑6 free—verify the day’s tariff before arrival. Combined rail+museum offers via RhB occasionally discount entry—check for active bundles.

Olympic Bobrun

The world’s only natural‑ice bob run still welcomes guest rides in winter, sending four‑person sleds flying to 130 km/h in roughly 75 seconds. Standard guest runs currently list at CHF 269 per person and include equipment, shuttle, and a keepsake certificate at the finish. Spectator admission is free most days outside marked events, and daily schedules post at the start Info Point.

Hotel Lift Perks

Many Engadin hotels include free mountain railway use (often with bike transport) for stays of two or more nights, simplifying summit‑hopping. Seasonal partners list key lifts like Muottas Muragl, Corviglia, Diavolezza, and Corvatsch; check exact validity and blackout dates when booking. This benefit can offset multiple day‑returns, especially for families planning several viewpoints in a single visit.

How to Plan

- Check lift first/last rides and weather; late summer schedules on Muottas Muragl allow golden‑hour dinners with an easy return.

- Reserve Bernina Express seats early, then decide pass vs. point‑to‑point fare based on broader travel days.

- Pack layers and sun protection—3000‑meter terraces can be crisp yet bright even in midsummer.

Stay Ideas

Properties participating in “mountain railways included” help budget stays deliver more lift mileage and flexibility on mixed‑weather days. If prioritizing glacier lookouts, base near Surlej (Corvatsch) or within quick tram reach of Dorf for Corviglia and Piz Nair. Rail‑friendly planners can hinge days on the Bernina line, hopping from St. Moritz to Diavolezza stops with minimal transfers.

Friends, St. Moritz shines when pairing one big lift, one scenic rail leg, and one heritage thrill—what trio would headline a first day: Muottas sunset, Diavolezza ice views, or a sunrise ride to Piz Nair?
