St. Moritz Cable Cars and Mountain Railways

Lifts are the main attraction tours around St. Moritz, and each one has a different height, price and calendar. This page sets out the numbers first and then the practical points. All fares are adult returns in Swiss francs (CHF), taken from summer 2026 operator prices.

Corviglia and Piz Nair

The Corviglia funicular starts in St. Moritz Dorf and is the gateway to Piz Nair and the main winter ski area above the village. Two funiculars on this route, Chantarella to Corviglia and St. Moritz Dorf, had a major overhaul in summer 2026. Before you plan a ride on either in winter, read the overhaul notice on mountains.ch. Skiers with season passes can start at Corviglia on 27 November 2026.

Muottas Muragl

The funicular here has run since 1907 and finishes at a terrace and a hotel with 16 rooms and suites. In season the funicular runs until 23:00, so dinner with a view is realistic. See muottasmuragl.ch for the hotel and operating times.

Corvatsch and Diavolezza

Corvatsch offers the highest lift ride in the area. Diavolezza has a cable car and a Berghaus at the top. The Diavolezza lift runs daily until 15 November 2026 and shuts after that, with the winter season due to start around 19 December. Fares and dates for both are on the Corvatsch Diavolezza site .

Tickets and passes

  • GA, Half Fare and Reka cards are not accepted on the mountains.ch lifts.
  • The Swiss Travel Pass does not include Engadin cable cars.
  • Mountain Railways Included gave hotel guests rides on 13 lifts from the second night, between 1 May and 31 October 2026. The offer was run by more than 100 hotels and holiday flats and does not cover winter skiing.
  • Whether that offer includes local buses or the Rhaetian Railway depends on the host hotel.

Planning notes

Pick the lift to match the weather. High terraces are worth the fare only on clear days. On a cloudy day, switch to a museum or to OVAVERVA, the public pool in St. Moritz Bad. Wear layers at every lift, since the top stations are far colder than the valley floor. From late October, check which lifts are still running.
