Highest whisky distillery in the world
The highest single malt whisky distillery in the world is located at the Corvatsch mountain station at 3303 m above sea level.
Pascal Mittner and Rinaldo Willy, the two whisky enthusiasts and founders of ORMA, have been maturing their whisky in the cellars of the Corvatsch mountain station for some time now. Whisky has actually been distilled there since fall 2020. The unusual altitude of 3303 meters above sea level has a particular influence on the distilling process, which is around ten degrees cooler at this altitude than at sea level. This gives the ORMA whisky more aromas and complexity.
The ORMA whisky distillery offers guided tours where you can not only taste the exclusive drop, but also take a look behind the scenes.
Summer highlight of the waterway
Hiking to the six Lejins
The six mountain lakes (Lejins – small lakes) on the water trail on Furtschellas shine in various shades of blue and green and offer a family-friendly circular hike of around 2.5 hours.
The water trail is one of the highlights of hiking on Corvatsch. The path leads from the Furtschellas middle station to Alp Munt and climbs steeply. But the effort is worth it when you reach the first lake, Lejin Cristal. This is followed by Lejin Magnetit, Lejin Malachit, Lejin Rhodonit, Lejin S-chaglia and finally Lejin Epidot. For a shorter hike, you can branch off to the left (towards Corvatsch) at the first large fork in the path with the signposts and then turn right again to get directly to Lejin Malachit.
Winter-Highlight Snow Night
Fun on the slopes in the spotlight
On Corvatsch you will find the longest floodlit piste in Switzerland, which runs over 4.2 kilometers from the Murtèl middle station to Surlej.
Every Friday evening, the snow groomer drivers get to work preparing the piste so that the Snow Night piste is ready for snow sports enthusiasts from 19:00. Skiing at night is a special experience. Although you ski on the same piste as during the day, it is different. Your senses are sharper, focused on the illuminated piste, while it is dark all around and the mountains are only lit by the light of the moon and stars. It feels like a different world.
