Savognin

For long runs, a large vertical drop and a resort without the crowds of its near neighbours, Savognin is a great alternative Swiss resort.

The ski area is very underrated, with 73km of slopes

the longest is 11km long – and 11 lifts to access varied terrain, most of which lies above the treeline. The lift system is good, with recent investment improving access from the valley, but boarders should be aware that the Piz Cartas area is served only by draglifts, but this shouldn’t stop you visiting.

Savognin is located on the road between Chur and St Moritz so is often passed up by many visitors. The resort is small and compact, with an attractive centre, albeit it cut through by the road heading towards St Moritz. There’s a good selection of hotels and restaurants to choose from and off the slopes, winter walking through the valley is a popular activity and tobogganing is big here – there’s a great network of trails above the village.

Getting to Savognin

Sauze d’Oulx is one of the most accessible resorts in the Alps and can be reached in around an hour from Turin airport. Private transfers are therefore good value, especially if you can share lifts. The resort is also only ten minutes from the train station at Oulx – which itself is around an hour and a half from Turin airport. Other airport options include Milan, Geneva, Lyon, Grenoble and Chambery – all of which are between two to three hours away by road.

* Turin airport: 1 hour (driving) or 2 hours (by train)

* Chambery airport: 2 hours (driving)

* Milan airport: 2.5 hours (driving)

* Geneva airport: 2.5 hours (driving)

* Grenoble airport: 2.5 hours (driving)

* Lyon airport: 2.5 hours (driving)

* Calais: approximately 11 hours driving (620 miles)

Snow Overview

Switzerland

Updated 02/05

Warm weather opens the weekend across Switzerland, with the freezing line sitting high at close to or above 4,000m throughout. Things change as the weekend continues, with temperatures cooling as the freezing line comes down to as low as 1,500m.

Cloud cover dominates, and with it precipitation; this will fall as rain initially, but will turn to snow as temperatures fall. Around 12cm will fall in steady flurries throughout the weekend and into the new week, falling almost entirely on higher ground as the freezing line remains above 2,000m during this period.

High pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions especially across the west of the region.

Thus concludes our snow overviews for this season. Thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
