Piz Nair

The Chantarella-Corviglia funicular railway takes you from the centre of St. Moritz up to the top of the resort’s local mountain. The Signal cable car from St. Moritz Bad also takes you in the direction of Corviglia. Another cable car then takes summiteers even closer to heaven and the Piz Nair upper station at exactly 3,056 metres above sea level. Without breaking a sweat or exerting yourself, you can enjoy an unforgettable view of St. Moritz, the Upper Engadin lake region and the mountains.The summit falls away steeply on all sides, but with a sturdy pair of boots you can tackle the descent via the picturesque Lej Suvretta or into Valetta Schlattain. Mountain bikers love the descent of Alp Suvretta back to St. Moritz, with an altitude difference of 1,200 metres.

I was going to tell you how impressed I am with your mountain climbing abilities to get this shot, until I read the description. Great description, and I am left wondering how people could mountain bike from here! V

A convenient opportunity that shouldn't be passed up if ever in the vicinity. My old legs can't climb like they used to, so I would definitely take advantage of these cable cars. Lovely photo too. V
