By March, St. Moritz settles into a different rhythm. The intensity of the high winter season gradually fades, with fewer holiday travelers and less busy slopes. What remains is a calmer, more refined atmosphere. The Engadin Valley feels more open, and this is when it becomes truly luxurious.
For skiing, March is one of the most rewarding times to visit. Overnight temperatures remain low, preserving excellent snow conditions. Mornings on Corviglia are particularly good: freshly groomed pistes, minimal lift lines, and space to ski at your own pace. Without crowds, you can focus purely on the sport. Long, uninterrupted runs, crisp mountain air, and clear views across the Engadin landscape.
By late morning, the character of the day begins to shift. March in this region is known for its sunshine, and as the sun rises higher, temperatures become pleasantly warm, especially on the terraces. It’s entirely possible to spend the early hours skiing in winter conditions and then sit outside for lunch in a T-shirt.
The absence of peak-season crowds also enhances the experience off the slopes. Spa appointments are readily available, service feels more personal, and the town itself is easier to navigate. There is no need to plan every detail in advance. The atmosphere allows for spontaneity of a longer lunch, an extra hour in the spa, or a quiet walk along the frozen lake.
March in St. Moritz is particularly suited to those who value balance. You can begin the day with serious skiing and end it in complete relaxation.
For travelers who want exceptional snow conditions combined with space, sunlight, and the opportunity to truly unwind, March offers the most comfortable and understated version of St. Moritz.
