Family-friendly excellence defines Savognin's 80km of meticulously maintained terrain across the eastern slopes of the Surses Valley.

Location
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.
