Davos-Klosters is the most famous ski region in Graubünden, and perhaps in all of Switzerland. It is formed by two independent resorts – the legendary Davos, which was already a famous high-mountain resort throughout Europe at the end of the 19th century, and which is slightly in the shadow of its famous neighbor Klosters. The towns are located 8 kilometers from each other, and from the point of view of ski tourism have long been considered a single skiing area, uniting almost 320 kilometers of slopes and 59 lifts. In total, Davos-Klosters is divided into 6 resorts (or simply skiing areas): Jakobshorn, Parzenn – Gochna, Pisha, Madrisa, Rinerhorn, Schatzalp – Strelen.

Jakobshorn stands apart – the first lift appeared here in 1934, and today this resort is a ski fashion setter, although it is primarily liked by snowboarders. They are attracted here, first of all, by the Jatz Park fan park, located at an altitude of 2300 meters. The resort is also known for its explosive parties.

Parzenn – Gochna, which connects Davos and Klosters, is called the cradle of alpine skiing in Switzerland. From Davos you can get here by funicular, and from Klosters – by regular ski lift. Here, those who ski will find endless and sometimes wild slopes, traditional Alpine huts for rest and night skiing on Fridays.

Pisch is considered one of the best places in Switzerland for freeriding, although there are separate areas for quiet family skiing. The border cross track deserves special attention.

Rhinerhorn is a bit “out of the way”, but that’s its charm – there are no crowds here, but there are beautiful slopes, including a 3.5-kilometer toboggan run.

Madrisa will delight you with 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 Kids Club, where they will be carefully monitored.

Schatzalp – Strelen is a fairly new area, created specifically for slow, leisurely skiing, where you can also do other sports.
