Bormio Mountain Guides

Engadin Off-piste

Engadin is a valley in the Graubünden canton, in Switzerland; about 1 hour and a half by car from Bormio. Characterized by a large flat area, where there are four lakes: the lakes of Sils, Silvaplana, Champfer and Sankt Moritz, it is famous all over the world for its great beauty. From a skiing point of view, it offers modern ski areas with considerable drops (from 3300m to 1800m) and famous mountains, among which Pizzo Bernina, with its 4050 m, is the most easterly 4000 of the Alps.

Thanks to the great glaciers, the fantastic pine forests and panorama given by the view of the lakes, Engadin is an unique and truly exciting playground.

Corviglia Area

The “Val Suvretta” is the classic downhill that starting from the top of Piz Nair leads to Suvretta village. You can ski in a sunny and very scenic environment.

There are many possible variants, from easy and wide slopes, to steep and narrow couloirs, suitable even for the most experienced.

The “Val Bever” is a magnificent itinerary that from the pass, 200 m upstream of the Trais Flours chairlift, ends, after about 1200 m of drop, to the Spinas station, from where we can comfortably return by train.

Amazing and isolated environment with many possibilities for all skiers.

Diavolezza – La Galb Area

The “Isla Persa” and the “Val d’ Arlas” are the most famous off-piste downhill of the Diavolezza area. They can also be combined to create a long ski day. 

The Isla Persa is an unique downhill suitable for everyone. It follows the entire Morteratch glacier in an incredible environment between crevasses, seracs and under giants like Bernina and Belleviste, until the Bernina’s red train station, a UNESCO heritage.

The “Rosa-Val Minor” is the classic downhill of La Galb area. Fun and satisfaction are guaranteed, thanks to the quality of the snow and the isolated and exclusive environment.

The “1000 meters” is the mythical couloir that leads with important and constant slopes, right above the Morteratch railway station. With its 1000 m of drop it is certainly one of the most ambitious skiing in the whole Engadin.

Corvatsch Area

The “Val Roseg” is the downhill that from the highest peak of the Engadin areas reach the village of Pontresina. An endless ski in one of the most evocative places in the Alps.

The “Val di Fex” is considered one of the most beautiful valleys of the region, it can be reached from the Furtschellas top station. Skiing begins on wide and constant slopes until the traced road that leads to the village of Sils-Maria.

The “North Face” is certainly the most mountaineering and adrenaline spot of the whole Engadin. Infact it was also a place of the Freeride World Tour. 

From the top station of Corvatsch after a rappel, of about 30 m, with the rope, we will reach a  steep couloir that ends on the ski slopes below.
