Summary

Celerina is a quiet, traditional village at the bottom end of St Moritz’s Cresta Run and connected by gondola to the slopes at Corviglia. It makes a contrasting alternative to Switzerland’s most famous ‘exclusive’ resort. The centre is a fair size, with some appealing small hotels and a lot of second homes - many owned by Italians. The slopes in the Marguns bowl, immediately above the top station of Celerina’s gondola, offer some of the most varied and interesting terrain in the whole ski area –  generally good intermediate territory and served mostly by fast chairs. And the scenery is spectacular. A long red run returns to the village and there are decent beginner slopes at valley level. But to reach the other separate ski areas involves a bus ride.
