Corvatsch AG

What Corvatsch AG does

Corvatsch AG is a privately held Swiss mountain resort operator founded in 1963 and headquartered in Silvaplana-Surlej, Canton Graubünden, with 45 employees. It operates a multi-destination alpine resort portfolio spanning the Corvatsch, Furtschellas, Diavolezza, and Lagalb mountains in the Engadin-St. Moritz region, controlling cable cars and ski lifts that serve 120 kilometers of groomed pistes and a mountain station at 3,303 meters - the highest in Canton Graubünden. The company runs a vertically integrated leisure business combining winter ski access, summer hiking experiences, multiple on-mountain restaurants (including Restaurant 3303 at the summit and Alpetta), the Berghaus Diavolezza mountain hotel, and event venues hosting weddings, corporate meetings, and concerts. Differentiated experiential products include the ORMA Whisky Distillery (the world's highest at 3,303m), the longest illuminated ski piste in Switzerland (Snow Night), and the Corvatsch Park freestyle venue that hosted the FIS Freestyle World Championships in Winter 2025.

The company's technology stack centers on a direct-to-consumer digital layer: the Mountain Guide Progressive Web App provides real-time webcams, weather, and mountain conditions across destinations; the E-Guma integrated online shop enables gift voucher and ticket e-commerce; and the corporate website (corvatsch-diavolezza.ch) supports direct booking for ski passes, accommodation, event tickets, and private piste reservations. Marketing leverages organic content (webcams, blog stories), email newsletters, social media hashtags, and a partner referral network with premium regional hotels (Kulm Hotel St. Moritz, Kronenhof Pontresina) and municipal tourism boards (Silvaplana, Pontresina, Sils).

The revenue model is diversified across six streams: (1) one-time ski passes and lift tickets including season passes (Jahresabonnemente); (2) gastronomy from restaurants and event catering; (3) recurring subscription-style accommodation revenue at Berghaus Diavolezza; (4) e-commerce via the online shop; (5) events and experiences including Snow Night, concerts, weddings, and corporate incentives; and (6) ORMA whisky distillery tours and tastings. The customer base is consumer-facing across four persona segments - winter sports enthusiasts (primary), summer hikers and nature lovers, families, and event/corporate clients - with international tourist demand from the broader Engadin-St. Moritz destination ecosystem serving as the underlying demand driver.
