Down the White Carpet

The thought of immaculately prepared but deserted pistes is enough to get even the most laid-back skier or snowboarder out of bed early. Many lifts in the region already start at 7.45 am: no hint of a queue anywhere. At the summit, as the first rays of sunshine light up the slopes, early risers enjoy their personal White Carpet: a glorious run down perfect pistes. There’s no better way to start the day! engadin.ch/en/white-carpet

Snow Safari

The Snow Safari leads across several different ski areas and to the cosiest mountain restaurants in the Engadin. In just one day, skiers and snowboarders discover nine of the finest runs, enjoy 88 kilometres of piste and conquer no fewer than 4,444 vertical metres. engadin.ch/snow-safari

1 Down the Diavolezza’s glaciers

Diavolezza – The Diavolezza glacier run leads through an enchanting wilderness of snow and ice: all the way down the Pers and Morteratsch Glaciers to the very end of the mighty river of ice. With a total length of 10 kilometres, this is Switzerland’s longest glacier run. Clear markings along the ungroomed itinerary make this an ideal first glacier experience for good skiers.

Ski school

Learning to ski is fun – especially when it is with the help of a professional instructor. The Engadin’s ski areas have various ski schools at which visitors of all ages can enjoy their first experience on skis or a snowboard, hone their skills or, after a longer break from the snow, regain confidence for a safe return to the pistes.
