St Moritz hosts the internationally renowned Engadine Ski Marathon. The 42km (26.2 mile) course draws almost 13,000 participants for a gruelling day of cross-country skiing. The race starts in Maloja and continues down the valley to finish in S-chanf.

The marathon began in 1969 and in the early years only around 1000 sportsmen considered themselves sufficiently tough to master the distance. It has now grown from a gathering of cross-country freaks to a large, colourful and multinational competition.
