Corviglia (ski course)

Corviglia is a World Cup ski course in Switzerland at St. Moritz, Grisons. Opened 90.63853841796674 years ago in 1934, it is located in the Engadin valley on Piz Nair mountain in the Albula Alps.

Corviglia has hosted a record five World Championships (1934, 1948, 1974, 2003, 2017) and the Winter Olympics in 1948 (concurrent World Championships).

It is adjacent to the newer "Engiadina", a course used for women's speed events, which hosted those events during the two most recent World Championships (2003, 2017).

"Free Fall", a new downhill start constructed in 2003 by Bernhard Russi, has the steepest incline in circuit at 45 degrees (100% gradient).

Winter Olympics
The descent started at Piz Nair Pitschen in 1948, with the finish area below the Signalbahn mountain station at an elevation of 1870 m above sea level.

From 1948 through 1980, the Winter Olympics were concurrent World Championships for alpine skiing.

World Championships
During its first World Championships in 1934, the downhill's course length was 4.4 km for both men and women. The start was at Munt da San Murezzan and the finish line at St. Moritz Bad, which was never used again. An access path had to be cut in the forest.
