Quick answer key ✅

Q3: What’s unique at the summit? A glass-walled panoramic restaurant (“glass cube”).
Getting to the top: the simple, scenic way 🚠
Start in St. Moritz Dorf. Ride the Chantarella/Corviglia funicular. From Corviglia, switch to the aerial cableway straight to the summit of Piz Nair. Fast. Photogenic. And exactly what the quiz is hinting at.
Where Piz Nair sits on the map 🗺️
You’re in Graubünden, above St. Moritz, on the Alps’ high spine. Summit elevation clocks in around 3,057 m—that’s the high point of the Corviglia area and the one you see on the lift boards.
The summit “glass cube” everyone talks about 🍽️
At the top, there’s Restaurant Piz Nair 10’000 Feet—a panoramic, glass-walled perch with a terrace and wow-factor views in every direction. Many visitors call it a glass cube because you’re essentially dining inside a box of windows. Expect Engadin comfort food (yes, the famous Güggeli) and big-sky scenery.
Extra facts the quiz won’t tell you (but might win you small talk) 💡
Order of operations: St. Moritz → funicular to Corviglia → cable car to Piz Nair. The whole point is that easy two-stage hop.
Check lift seasons: The Corviglia–Piz Nair cableway runs on published seasonal timetables; off-season it rests. Don’t just show up—verify the day’s schedule.
Why your answers are right 📖
Funicular + cable car: This is the official route promoted by Swiss and St. Moritz tourism—funicular from the village up to Corviglia, then the Piz Nair cable car to the summit. Buses or taxis won’t replace that combo to the peak.
The Alps: Piz Nair anchors the Corviglia/Piz Nair sector above St. Moritz in the Alps, not the Pyrenees or Apennines.
Glass-walled restaurant: The summit venue is a panoramic restaurant with floor-to-ceiling glass—often nicknamed the glass cube thanks to those 360° views.
Before you go (or flex your trivia) 🔍
Sunrise rides are a thing up here—worth dragging yourself out of bed for if lifts are running that program.
