Davos erleben
Ski & Snowboard
Davos Klosters is considered one of the most snow-sure ski regions in Switzerland. With a network of approximately 300 kilometers of slopes and 57 transport facilities, the ski areas of Parsenn, Gotschna, Jakobshorn, Pischa, as well as the two family-friendly mountains Madrisa and Rinerhorn, offer a wide range of skiing pleasure for all age groups.
Parsenn is often regarded as the birthplace of skiing in Switzerland. In 1895, four English tourists got lost on the Weissfluhjoch and eventually ended up in Küblis. This led to the discovery of the Parsenn descent and the creation of an Alpine myth. Since the opening of the funicular railway about 90 years ago, Parsenn has been a classic ski mountain with long descents on wide slopes and traditional mountain huts. The ski area with its approximately 97 kilometers of slopes is accessible from Davos with the Parsennbahn and from Klosters with the Gotschnabahn.
Jakobshorn is known as the center of the freestyle scene and still considered a hotspot for snowboarders and freeskiers. At an altitude of 2500 m, beginners to professionals showcase their skills in the JatzPark with its 20 elements such as kickers and rails. There are also freestyle offerings in the valley, including the Superpipe at Bolgen and a 15 x 15 meter airbag for beginners.
Davos Pischa is one of the largest and sunniest freeride areas in Switzerland. With the cable car, you can reach the mountain station, from where you can ride down into the valley on secured freeride descent routes. Ski tourers use the mountain station as a starting point for the popular ski tour to Pischahorn. But not only with skis or snowboards can you enjoy the powder here, but also with fat bikes or airboards.
There are few ski resorts that focus as much on families with young children as Madrisa. In the children's snow parks of Madrisa-Land and in the Madrisa Park Klosters, there are special practice areas. Four magic carpets transport the little skiers up. With a snowbike (available at Intersport at the mountain station), they can ride down the slopes while seated – ideal for beginners. While the children practice their first turns on four practice lifts, parents can explore the 31 kilometers of slopes in the ski area. With sufficient snow, the 8.5-kilometer-long toboggan run to Saas and the winter hiking trails to Mässplatte and Zügenhüttli are special highlights.
The Rinerhorn offers a toboggan run with 33 curves and rapid steep turns, winter sports opportunities at night, as well as a family-friendly ski area with ski lifts, free parking, and cozy mountain huts. It is not surprising that the Rinerhorn is not only popular with locals but also with guests as one of the insider tips in Davos Klosters.
