Disentis ski area
The ski area Dissents 3000 has to offer a wide variety of slopes for all levels, but mainly for advanced and professional skiers and snowboarders. There are 30 km of red slopes, but also some black slopes. The most impressive valley descent is the one from Caischavedra to S. Catrina. This heavy track is 5 km long and has a vertical drop of more than 630 meters. For beginners this run is not recommended. For them it is better to return to the valley by cable car. The beautiful 12k run from Péz Ault down to S.Catrina has a vertical descent of 1600m, taking in red, blue and black sections and, optionally, an unprepared area.
The Ski Arena Andermatt - Sedrun offers the right thing for all your needs. Both places have a common ski pass, so one can try out a little where it is best to ski, freeride or snowboard. Down the slopes the beginners are in good hands and they can make their first turns without the hustle and bustle. The Andermatt-Sedrun and Disentis ski resorts are linked by the Sport Train and the Cuolm da Vi gondola. The trip from the Dieni railway station in the Andermatt-Sedrun ski resort to the Sedrun railway station in the Disentis ski resort takes just five minutes.
Disentis is a paradise for freeriders in Graubünden. Disentis ski resort is still an insider tip among freeriders, who are attracted to its powder slopes, jumps and 1,500m natural drops. The descents in Val Segnas and Val Acletta have become classics among experienced skiers, while secluded powder slopes in other valleys, such as Val Pintga and Val Gronda, are also nearby.
Après-ski
A variety of drinks are available on board. Guests particularly enjoy these amenities in the train during heavy snowfall and in icy temperatures. At weekends, there is an on-board DJ to get things going, transforming the train into a small but excellent place to party. Two converted carriages make the trip between Andermatt and Disentis the longest après-ski-train ride in Switzerland.
Disentis village
Many locals agree that Hotel Alpsu makes the best capuns and bizochel, another Romansch specialty.
