Davos Klosters is the most famous skiing region in Graubünden, and perhaps in all of Switzerland. It is formed by two independent resorts – the legendary Davos , which was a mountain resort known throughout Europe at the end of the 19th century, and which is slightly overshadowed by its famous neighbor Klosters. The towns are located 8 kilometers from each other, and from the point of view of ski tourism, they have long been considered a single skiing area, which unites almost 320 kilometers of tracks and 59 lifts. In total, Davos-Klosters is divided into 6 resorts (or simply skiing areas): Jakobshorn, Parzenn – Hochna, Pischa, Madrisa, Rinerhorn, Schatzalp – Strelen.
Jakobshorn stands alone – the first lift appeared here back in 1934, and today this resort is a trendsetter for skiing, although it is primarily liked by snowboarders. They are primarily attracted here by the Jatz Park fan park, located at an altitude of 2,300 meters. The resort is also known for its explosive parties.
Parzenn – Hochna , which connects Davos and Klosters , is called the cradle of alpine skiing in Switzerland. You can get here from Davos by funicular, and from Klosters – by a regular lift. Here, those who ski will find endless and sometimes wild descents, traditional alpine lodges for rest and night skiing on Fridays.
Pisha is considered one of the best places in Switzerland for freeriding, although there are separate areas for quiet family riding. The border cross course deserves special attention.
The Rinerhorn is slightly “out of the way”, but that’s the beauty of it – there are no crowds, but there are beautiful runs, including a 3.5 km long toboggan run.
Madrisa will delight you with its sunny slopes, ideal for skiing with the whole family. Here you can visit the Adventure Park with your children, and leave very young children in a special Children’s Club, where they will be closely watched.
Schatzalp – Strehlen is a fairly new area, created specifically for slow, relaxed skiing, where you can also do other sports.
