A ski resort Classic with long descents
Pure skiing joy and endlessly wide descents: That’s what Davos Klosters’ biggest of a total of five ski resorts has to offer. Parsenn/Gotschna ski resort is not only a timeless classic when it comes to winter sports – it’s also one of the pioneers for Alpine skiing and snow research. At the forefront of this research was and is the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) on Weissfluhjoch. Guaranteed snow from November to April provides perfect conditions for skiing.
It’s also where traditions meet modernity and where spectacular views meet descents with several kilometres in length. Slopes come in all levels of difficulty from beginner level to challenges for the pros. Cosy restaurants and spacious sun decks invite visitors to sit and soak up the sun.
Just take a seat in the Parsenn funicular or the Gotschna cable car, and you’ll be well on your way towards the summit of this timeless giant among the mountains of Davos Klosters! Parsenn is well worth a visit no matter the season.
Skiing and Snowboarding
Seemingly endless descents, some 97 kilometres of slopes and a funicular that’s been taking winter sports enthusiasts up onto Parsenn since the earliest days of the resort: Skiing on Parsenn is a high-alpine classic and an absolute must-do for winter sports enthusiasts. You’ll be amazed by the extraordinary scenic views you’ll have at the resort’s highest point – on Weissfluh’s summit at 2,844 metres above sea level. Mountains upon mountains alongside a view of the valley and Davos impressively demonstrate the vast expanse of the ski resort.
The fastest way up onto Parsenn? The Parsenn funicular takes you from Davos up into the ski resort – Gotschna cable car lets you head towards fun in the snow from Klosters. And once you arrive at the mountain station, there’s only one thing that matters: pure skiing pleasure! For a little break in between, you might want to stop at the many restaurants on the mountain – either at the summit, along the slopes or a little further down towards Klosters near Schifer. There’s hardly a better way to recharge your batteries than with a scrumptious meal and tasty refreshments.
Freeride
The Parsenn region makes freeriders’ hearts beat faster! However, it takes a bit of knowledge of the region to find the best routes. And the locals aren’t too liberal with giving away their secrets. That’s why it’s well worth checking out the 3-Bahnentour. It was created as a unique adventure in the Alpine region, and it’s an absolute must-do for freeride skiers and snowboarders!
All it takes is a ticket and a day tour with or without mountain guide, and you’ll be able to enjoy the Canton of Grison’s three most impressive freeride areas – Davos Klosters, Arosa/Lenzerheide, and Tschiertschen. What are you waiting for? Let’s go!
Nostalgia Run
125 years ago, four Englishmen discovered the 12-kilometre descent from Weissfluhjoch to Küblis, and the idea for this legendary run was born. In remembrance of these ski pioneers, winter sports enthusiasts can follow in their footstep – or rather tracks – on the Nostalgia Run. Along the run, you’ll find info boards highlighting topics that range from the early days of skiing in Davos to the development of the ski resorts.
Fun Runs
Raiffeisen Run: Alongside perfect turns on wide slopes, you can compete in the giant slalom Raiffeisen Run and take on the role of a ski racer.
Nordica Speed Run: Who’s the fastest, and who’s more in control of their skis or snowboard? That’s what you’ll find out on the Nordica Speed Run.
A ski- and boardercross track: How about a nip-and-tuck race with your friends, colleagues or family? The ski- and boardercross track next to the slope at Totalp chairlift lets you show off your skills in the snow.
