253 km slopes

The perfect experience for everyone

With 81 different downhill runs and other winter attractions, Davos Klosters Mountains has a lot to offer for winter sports fans. In addition to the pleasure of whooshing down the slopes, they can also look forward to plenty of culinary delights, cosy get-togethers, sunbathing, and après-ski.

A large selection of different slopes, from blue to black, is a convincing asset of Davos Klosters Mountains. For experienced skiers, we recommend the steep slopes on Jakobshorn Nord, Bräma (black/red) or Gipfel Nord on Parsenn. That’s where you can test and finetune your skiing skills.

Guaranteed snow from November to April: Thanks to the region’s elevation at more than 1,560 metres above sea level and constant investments in artificial snow-making equipment, skiers and snowboarders benefit from guaranteed snow from November to April. So nothing stands in the way of winter fun, and the slopes are always in tip-top shape!

Good to know: Every ski resort in Davos Klosters Mountains has a downhill run all the way into the valley. From Jakobshorn and Parsenn, you can ski directly to the town centre. It hardly gets more convenient! The valley runs are usually open from December to April when snow conditions are good, which means you can ski into the valley all winter long.

Freestylers will find a perfect terrain for adrenaline rushes at the JatzPark. The Jakobshorn is the centre for all those who love freestyling!

Alongside perfectly groomed slopes for skiers and snowboarders, there are also several secured but ungroomed slopes, which can be used by freeriders when open. On Pischa, there are no groomed slopes on the entire mountain. This was a deliberate choice, so winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy their adventures in pristine powder snow surrounded only by nature.

That’s an experience you can enjoy on Wednesday and Friday evening all throughout winter season up on Rinerhorn. The Rinerhorn cable car takes you up the mountain from 19:00 to 22:30, and the floodlit valley run is open during this time as well.

If you’re in the mood for tasty culinary delights, you should visit Jatzmeder restaurant by the mountain station, Spina along the valley run or the Blockhuus at the valley station.

Our tip: On Wednesday evening, Jatzmeder restaurant offers its legendary spaghetti buffet – perfect for families or school classes and a highlight during every holiday week! A more romantic alternative is the candle-light raclette or fondue every Friday night.
