Winter Sports in Savognin

A

bout 2-3 hours from Zurich by car or a combination of train and bus, Savognin is a historic Romansh-speaking village, in the Surses valley on the route to the Julier Pass, south of Chur and Lenzerheide and north of the Engadin. It's a good family-friendly base for visiting other ski areas and attractions in the area (with winter tyres and sometimes snow chains). It has some very good pistes itself, particularly for learners and intermediates, but also with a few challenging runs and off-piste areas. Unfortunately there are only surface lifts to reach all but the main runs below Piz Martegnas.

Best of the Slopes

There is an 11k run from Piz Martegnas all the way down to the valley station.

Where to Eat and Party

The Tigia restaurant at Radons does a number of regional specialities. Roggi's Baizli is the lively heart of mountain eating and drinking. For apres, the locals often head to James Beach Bar on their way down.
