The St. Moritz–Corviglia Funicular (German: Standseilbahn St. Moritz–Corviglia; STMC) is a funicular railway in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. The line links the town of St. Moritz at 1848 m with the Corviglia summit and ski area at 2489 m, and comprises two sections of differing gauge, with passengers changing cars at the intermediate station of Chantarella.[1]
At Corviglia, the funicular connects with an aerial tramway to the summit of Piz Nair.
