Piz Nair, Mountain summit in Graubünden, Switzerland
Piz Nair is a mountain summit in the Albula Alps rising to about 3,056 meters (10,026 feet) above the Engadin Valley. From the peak, views extend across a wide range of surrounding mountains and the landscape below.
The mountain hosted alpine skiing competitions during the 1948 Winter Olympics held in St. Moritz. These events shaped the region as an important center for winter sports.
The mountain restaurant serves as a gathering place where visitors share meals while overlooking the Engadin Valley. The food reflects local culinary traditions and uses ingredients sourced from nearby farms and producers.
The summit is accessible by cable car from St. Moritz, with the upper station located just below the peak. Accessibility varies depending on the season and weather conditions.
Visitors can experience winter sunrises at the summit while having breakfast at nearly 3,100 meters elevation. This offers a rare opportunity to start the day at such a high altitude location.

The Swiss Alps include peaks, valleys, lakes, and passes that have impressed travelers for a long time. This collection brings together places where nature shows its best side: the Matterhorn with its recognizable shape, the green waters of the Verzasca Valley, the Gornergrat view facing 29 peaks, and the St. Moritz lake that becomes a natural ice rink in winter. Alongside these natural sights, you will also see signs of local craftsmanship, like dams hanging on the rocky walls, funiculars and cogwheel trains that have climbed higher for more than a century, or cultural sites such as the Pierre Gianadda Foundation in Martigny. Each place tells in its own way how the Swiss tamed their mountains while respecting them. A journey between high altitude and a gentle way of life.
