Sankt Moritz: Piz Nair - St Moritz - Pontresina
The Upper Engadin valley defines the setting of St Moritz — its broad high-alpine floor brings lakes, the resort town and mountain settlements together beneath a ring of peaks. Piz Nair, at 3,057 metres, is one of the heights above St Moritz and part of the Corviglia ski area. To the southeast, Pontresina stands at the entrance to Val Bernina and is a base for mountain excursions. St Moritz developed from an Engadin village into an international winter-sports resort, hosting the Winter Olympic Games in 1928 and 1948. Together, these places present the Engadin as a settled Alpine valley where long-established mountain life meets substantial sports infrastructure.
Generated by AISankt Moritz stretches along Lake St. Moritz in Switzerland’s Upper Engadin, and its setting between the water and the surrounding Alpine slopes has made it a longstanding centre for mountain sport. The River Inn runs through the broad Engadin valley, while Corviglia rises above town as one of the area’s principal ski slopes. Sankt Moritz hosted the Winter Olympics in 1928 and 1948, and the frozen lake is the venue for the annual White Turf horse races.

The Inn flows through the Engadin, while the Rhine has long connected Chur, the cantonal capital, with the rest of central Europe. Romansh remains a defining regional language alongside German and Italian. The Rhaetian Railway’s Albula and Bernina lines, recognised by UNESCO, cross dramatic mountain country with remarkable engineering.

The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
