LOCATION Silvaplana (1.815m) with its skiresort Corvatsch (up to 3.303m) is located in the Engadine, Switzerland. Engadine is a famous valley in the southern Alps with a long alpine skiing tradition and St. Moritz as its main town. Besides the annual female FIS Ski World Cup races, St. Moritz will host the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in 2017. But as the alpine World Cup slopes are located on the other side of the valley, Corvatsch goal is to establish an outstanding freeskiing event in the Engadine valley. As Corvatsch is a big mountain resort, the slopestyle course will be located on a high altitude with its start on 2.700m.
