From here you can ski down the so-called “king’s slope”, passing Hahnensee and ending in the nearby ski resort of Corviglia. On a ski holiday in Corvatsch – Sils – Silvaplana you will also get access to many other slopes of all difficulty levels, including Switzerland’s longest night slope. Apart from the slopes you can explore the snowy mountains of the Engadin winter hiking or snow-shoeing through the Corvatsch area.
