Altitude training

Altitude training: top athletes worldwide swear by it. Endurance athletes, in particular, value St. Moritz’s high altitude at 1,856 metres above sea level. All who train here benefit from the dry and bracing alpine climate and the ideal weather conditions with an average of 322 days of sunshine a year. As a result, St. Moritz makes the perfect choice for training camps.

St. Moritz Tourism (Sports & Events) is committed to continuously improving its High Altitude Training Base. We rely on your feedback in order to know where to begin.
