On Snow Experience
During this trip, you’ll spend three days skiing with a guide, and three days social skiing with your fellow Freshtrackers and Ski Club Rep. Your time with the guide will be spent exploring the all that the incredible Davos ski area has to offer, whilst honing in on some of those off piste techniques. On the social skiing dates, your Rep will ski with the groups as a member sharing their knowledge of the area from the quietest pistes to the tastiest lunch spots. Prior to booking, it is essential that guests have the correct ski profile for the holiday – please see the ‘View dates and prices’ page for specific holiday information.
For the last two seasons I’ve been delighted that my bid to rep on Davos/Klosters holidays has been successful, especially last season when I was able to join the group on the Davos Piste and Powder week and even got to back mark on the off piste days – an unexpected treat! Despite the itineraries not being skiable towards the end of last season, our guide Robbie found us some fabulous untracked snow within easy reach of lifts so no huge hikes out! The Davos/Klosters area particularly appeals to me as even staying on piste there is so much choice with skiing a different ski area everyday of the holiday.

It is a condition of booking that you have valid and adequate snowsports insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure your policy provides cover for all the activities that you participate in during your holiday. We offer a Ski Club Insurance policy which provides the cover we require for all bookings. This policy can be found here: Ski Club Travel Insurance – Ski Club Of Great Britain.
If you decide to purchase insurance elsewhere, it is your responsibility to ensure that your policy provides cover as that of the Ski Club Insurance policy. The policy of insurance should provide cover for personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries which you intend to visit, together with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, curtailment, missed departure and legal expenses. The policy should also include cover against losses caused by the effects or consequences of Covid-19.
Due to the type of holidays that you will be booking with us, we also advise that your policy should include skiing off-piste without a guide. Please note, insurance premiums must be paid at the same time as booking in order for the package holiday or single service cancellation cover to be effective. It is also advised to keep your insurance details with you while you are on your holiday. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
Passport – Check your passport is in date and valid for travel by checking the entry requirements for your destination country – you can see these here: Foreign travel advice – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
For most European destinations your passport should:
- have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive – if you renewed your passport before 1 October 2018, it may have a date of issue that is more than 10 years ago
- have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the date you plan to leave the Schengen area
Check your passport meets these requirements before you travel.
NB: Beginning in October 2025, how you pass through EU border controls will change. Find out more information about EES and ETIAS here.
When venturing off piste, it is compulsory to wear an avalanche transceiver. These can be provided by the Ski Club and should be worn by every person on every all mountain, off piste and touring holiday. Anyone joining these holidays will also be required to bring their own backpack, shovel and probe.

There is a long history of snowsports in the Davos Valley, particularly on the local Parsenn Mountain.
The funicular here was built for skiers over 80 years ago (it has since been upgraded!). This is now one of six areas covered by the regional ski pass, which provides access to 55 lifts – several of which have also been recently rebuilt. Getting between the areas can be a bit of a hassle – especially to Klosters – but there is a good bus service linking up all the areas that comes free with your ski pass.
