Ski Davos

If you ski Davos, you're in one of Europe's highest and oldest resorts. With wonderful pistes and spectacular scenery that will enchant and amaze - you can enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the Swiss Alps.

Where

High in the Swiss Alps, Ski Davos to be on the doorstep of a vast network of slopes stretching from the Rinerhorn south west of Davos to Pischa in the north east. This area also includes access to the Klosters' ski areas of Gotschna and Madrissa. Access is easiest via Friedrichshafen and Zurich airports, around 2 hours way, although there other options if you don't mind the drive.

On the slopes

Ski holidays in Davos are perfect for intermediates - there's plenty of long cruising runs, some up to 9 miles long! However, advanced skiers won't be disappointed, as there is vast off-piste potential, with the Gotschnagrat runs amongst the steepest and most challenging around. The Jakobshorn area is a very popular with snowboarders, while beginners and those with children should head to the Pischa area - the slopes are easier, less crowded, and enjoy lots of sunshine.

Ski area :

If you ski Davos you are in the Swiss ski region of Graubünden.

Off the slopes

There are ski chalets, apartments and hotels throughout the Davos ski resort, so prices cover the full range. Eating out is never a problem - at lunch time you simply ski into a hidden valley to find a pretty village or a quiet bar. At night, the village offers a great choice off restaurants including Bünder Stübli for traditional dishes, and the Café Weber for delicious cakes. Après ski is lively, or for something quieter and more traditional, head to Klosters.

WE LIKE

  • Some superb, long, and mostly easy pistes away from the lifts, with trains to bring you back to base
  • Lots of accessible off-piste terrain, with several 'marked' itineraries
  • Plenty to do off the slopes from skating to shopping

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Davos is a huge, city-like place with dreary block-style buildings, plagued by traffic, lacking Alpine atmosphere and après-ski animation
  • The slopes are spread over five separate areas
  • The only piste back to town from the main Parsenn area is a black run finishing on the outskirts
