    Season Info

    Corvatsch enjoys an exceptionally long season, typically operating from October through May. The resort's high altitude and northern exposure create ideal conditions for consistent snow preservation, particularly on the glacier runs. Early winter brings reliable powder conditions, while spring offers perfect snow surfaces thanks to overnight freezing and daytime solar warming. The unique microclimate of the Upper Engadin valley contributes to the area's remarkable snow reliability and frequent clear-sky days.
