A penthouse at the foot of the run

St. Moritz has opened a public consultation on the run from Oberalpina to St. Moritz Bad, open from 22 October to 23 November. The planning report calls it the busiest descent in the municipality, leading from Corviglia back to the Signal lift and its car parks. It follows a forest road that the report finds too narrow for today's safety and capacity, with low underpasses beneath Via Somplaz and Via Chavallera that are hard to cover with snow in spring. The plan widens the existing line and adds snowmaking. Works are scheduled for 2028 to 2030, and a municipal ballot is still to come.

The report ties the run to the Signal lift itself. Engadin St. Moritz Mountains intends to replace the 1972 cable car with an eight-seat gondola; a first approval failed at the Federal Supreme Court in May 2023, a revised application has been filed, and the report expects a federal decision in 2026. For an address in St. Moritz Bad, the way home from the slopes is a planning matter with a timetable, not a fixture.

Our selection is the Penthouse 3 Bedroom at The View, at Via Tegiatscha 17, which Laudinella AG opened in December 2025. The operator lists about 145 square metres on the sixth floor, three bathrooms, three balconies, a large roof terrace and an outdoor whirlpool, sleeping up to eight with three double beds and a sofa bed. A kitchen is available on request rather than as standard. Breakfast, the rooftop spa, entry to the Ovaverva pool about 200 metres away and station transfers are included, according to the operator.

The case for it is scale with service attached, not the label. The building's other categories include a 250-square-metre Master Penthouse for up to 16; for a family of six, the three-bedroom layout is the more proportionate choice. Laudinella's November spa package is bookable for its hotel rooms from 23 October to 13 December, which indicates the group is operating through the quiet weeks. Penthouse prices and date-specific availability are not published.
