The Parsenn ski area is particularly suitable for skiing and snowboarding. It is considered the largest and most traditional ski area in the region. Here you will find numerous different ski slopes with a total of around 97 kilometers. The area can be reached from Davos with the Parsennbahn.

Find your type of slope!
A highlight is certainly the well-known run to Küblis or Serneus over 12 kilometers from the Weissfluh summit, or the valley run down to Davos. However, we only recommend the valley run for very experienced skiers. There is also direct access to the Gotschna ski area.
By the way: If you want to see an ibex, you should take the Seetäli T-bar lift. On run number 30 there is a good chance of seeing some of these animals.
For intermediary skiers we recommend the Totalp and Maierhoftäli lifts. Both slopes are considered the easiest in the Parsenn ski area. The Totalp Bar is a perfect choice for coffee or lunch for those who are looking for different options than the traditional mountain dishes.
The descent to the Schifer valley station via number 24 is scenically beautiful. We recommend the Alte Schwendi or Erezässhütte mountain hut for a break.
If you are looking for fine dining, the Parsennhütte offers different menus a la carte that are highly recommended.
The restaurant on the Weissfluh summit with its magnificent view is also worth a visit – you can also reach it without skis.
The winter season runs from November 17, 2023 to April 14, 2024.
How about an incredible day in the mountains without any worries?

Jakobshorn
The Jakobshorn primarily attracts winter sports enthusiasts who love action and variety on the ski piste. A total of 55 km of slopes from blue to black await you here. One of the special features of the Jakobshorn is the JatzPark, which, with its 20 elements, is particularly popular among freestylers.
The Jatzhütte is also a real experience. It is considered the largest party location, which is easy to reach for non-skiers as well. You will also find the Bolgen Plaza for après-ski in the valley. The Bolgen ski lift is located at the foot of the Jakobshorn. There is a simple chairlift that is particularly suitable for beginners.
With the Fuxägufer and the Chalet Güggel, the Jakobshorn offers two excellent restaurants with a fantastic terrace, which are also easily accessible for non-skiers.
The winter season runs from December 1, 2023 to April 7, 2024.
Davos Klosters offers a great variety of slopes for all levels for both skiing and snowboarding. Count on a real expert and become part of a mixed group of skiers and snowboarders to enjoy an unforgettable day in the mountains, feeling like a pro.

Rinerhorn
The Rinerhorn is a good choice, especially in high season, to escape the crowds. The ski area is particularly recommended for families. Apart from the cable car that takes you to the ski area, there are only drag lifts here.
The pistes have a comfortable width and are excellently prepared. However, the mountain is only suitable for beginners with certain experience on skis.
The illuminated ski slope for valley descents at night and the well-known sledge run with its fast steep curves also ensure intensive experiences. Families and beginners should therefore not underestimate them.
A culinary treat on the valley run is the Spina restaurant. For a lunch break on the mountain, we recommend the Hubelhütte, a cozy restaurant with an excellent mountain panorama and South Tyrolean specialties.
The winter season runs from December 22 to April 01, 2024.

Schatzalp
Those who like it very leisurely will find the perfect place for skiing and snowboarding on the Schatzalp. Only drag lifts and a nostalgic chair lift operate here. The slopes are particularly sunny and very quiet with little traffic, making them especially suitable for families with children and for leisurely skiing. For a culinary experience we recommend the restaurant Strela Pass that is accessible for skiers.
For non-skiers there are beautiful, sunny winter hiking trails. Sporty skiers, on the other hand, don’t get their money’s worth in this ski area. An excellent restaurant to visit is the Strela Alp – highly recommended for skiers
And what can you experience on the Schatzalp when it gets dark? The Schatzalp cable car takes you up at night, and the curves of the sledge run are illuminated until 11 p.m.
The winter season runs from December 23, 2023 to April 1, 2024.
Ride and Smile works with an exclusive ski technique that allows beginners to learn fast, and the most important: have fun!
The Bünda
The Bünda in Davos Dorf is a practice area that you can reach in just a few minutes from the train station. The place is less accessible by car as there is no good parking nearby.
The area is suitable for children who have little experience on skis. They can also use the drag lift to go up and down on your own, while the rest of the family might just want to watch. In our opinion, the practice area is not recommended for skiers who are already at an average level.
With us, children learn fast while having fun, following our slogan “Ride and Smile is the best way to learn”
