NOTES: Southeast of Zurich, St. Moritz (pop. 5100) is a real paradise for serious snowboarders. There are nine distinct ski areas connected by bus and some by lifts with a total of 217 miles of trails. The Corvatsch, located on a broad glacier, is the least crowded of the nine areas.
If you are looking for some fun apres-ski, check out Vinoteca, Roo Bar at Hotel Hauser, Diamond or Cascade.
To reach this area from Zurich, head southeast on Route A3 and then south on Route A13 to Chur. Turn south on road to St. Moritz for 70km.
