The mountain
OpenSkiMap / OpenStreetMap, ODbL.jpg)
European piste grades: blue easy · red intermediate · black advanced.
Davos Klosters sits at 1,560 m in the Landwasser valley in Graubünden, and the skiing is split across five separate mountains on one pass rather than one linked circuit. Parsenn is the largest, topping out at 2,844 m on the Weissfluh and running some 12 km down the far side to Küblis at 810 m. Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn, Madrisa and Pischa are reached by bus, train or a short walk from the two villages, and Schatzalp above Davos Platz is a sixth mountain on its own separate ticket. Both Davos and Klosters sit on the Rhaetian Railway, so the mountains are reachable without a car.
Tickets, passes and lessons are sold by the resort itself - we link, we don't resell.
