Location & Getting There

Nestled in Graubünden's Surses Valley approximately 160km from Zurich, Savognin occupies a privileged position in Switzerland's largest canton. This culturally rich region sits at the crossroads of linguistic traditions, with Romansh, German, and Italian influences evident in local architecture, cuisine, and daily life. The traditional village maintains authentic character at 1,200m elevation, while skiing terrain rises to 2,713m on Piz Cartas, creating significant vertical diversity within a compact geographic area. Unlike more internationally developed destinations, Savognin preserves genuine Swiss mountain culture in a working agricultural community where tourism complements rather than dominates the local economy.

The area benefits from its sheltered position in the Surses Valley, where snowfall patterns frequently deliver substantial coverage while avoiding the extreme wind exposure affecting higher peaks. Modern snowmaking complements natural precipitation on key sectors, ensuring consistent conditions throughout the season. The predominantly east-facing slopes catch morning sunshine while preserving good snow quality into afternoon hours, creating an ideal balance for family skiing when younger participants need favorable visibility and comfortable temperatures.
