Sankt Moritz: Lake Champfèr - Piz Corvatsch

Sankt 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 terrain of Grisons ranges from high Alpine valleys in the south to the broad Rhine valley in the north, shaping Switzerland’s largest and most linguistically diverse canton. 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. Browse further webcams from the area to trace how this corner of eastern Switzerland links with neighbouring Alpine regions.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. 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.
