Ski Club offerings
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.

AprésPros and cons
- A variety of slopes in six different sectors
- Fantastic long pistes from the Parsenn down to the valley
- Good itineraries and great freeride terrain at Pischa
- A large town with a large variety of accommodation to choose from
- Large resort with busy through roads
- Getting about involves utilising the resort bus, and the six mountains are not interlinked
- Quite a few T-bars on the smaller mountains
- Difficult pistes back to resort, particularly from Parsenn
On the Slopes
There is some fantastic variety for all levels and more than 80% of the runs are above the snowsure altitude 2000m. Beginners have access to some good nursery areas on the edge of town and some gentle blues on the Parsenn, intermediates can explore pretty much everywhere and in Pischa there is an entire mountain dedicated to freeride. The only real issue is the steep and often busy resort runs that drop back down towards Davos – these are not suitable for beginners and in some cases intermediates too.
For a ski resort, Davos is a big town and as a result almost all of the accommodation is a walk or short bus ride away from the lifts. But what this does mean is that the range of hotel and chalet options are vast, as is the choice of bars and restaurants – just try not to visit when the World Economic Forum is in town as it is packed and even more expensive than usual (but you might just get the slopes to yourself…).
For Beginners
The best beginner zone is located at the base of the Jakobshorn ski area, where two draglifts and a nursery area offer a great starting point for first timers. From here, there is good progression on the gentle blues further up the mountain and also on the Parsenn. Above Klosters, there is another good and snowsure beginner zone at the top of the Madrisabahn gondola. In all sectors downloading at the end of the day is advised to avoid the busy and steep resort runs.
For Intermediates
The choice is fantastic and there is great cruising on five of the six of the mountains (Pischa excluded). For the longest runs, including the epic descent to Küblis, head to Weissfluhjoch and wind your way down over 2000 vertical metres before catching the train back at the bottom. On the other side of the valley, both Jakobshorn and Rinerhorn have a good variety of cruising terrain, but for the latter you need to be confident on drag lifts as there are no chairs above the access gondola.
For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste
In the Resort
Originally built as a sanitorium rather than a ski resort, Davos is a town first and ski resort second. This means that there are a lot of large buildings – most of which have now been converted into hotels – and unfortunately it can be plagued by through traffic. That being said, its size lends itself to offering considerable variety when it comes to accommodation, as well as bars and restaurants offering evening entertainment.
For Families
There is plenty to keep families happy, just note that everything is quite spread out, so you may be catching a bus of walking for a little while first. The beginner area at Bolgen at the base of the Jakobshorn is excellent, however, and there is also an ice rink and several tobogganing routes. Most of the larger hotels have swimming pools.
For Après
This is focussed on the central Promenade in town, but Davos is definitely not a party town. There are a couple of nightclubs, including the Pöstli Cub in the Posthotel but generally a beer or a glühwein after a day on the slopes fits the Davos après vibe. The perfect place or this at the Sunstar Park Hotel – the location for the popular Ski_Club_Social_Hour.

Updated 07/02
Some fairly unique weather hits the Swiss Alps in parts this weekend and into next week, as cold and unsettled weather flows in from the East. This will bring good conditions to high ground close to the main Alpine ridge, with Zermatt seeing up to 60cm over this weekend. Other areas will see a few flurries to keep things fresh.
Temperatures will remain mild over this weekend with the freezing line hovering around 2,000m; this tails off, however, as the new week begins dropping close to sea level overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. More cloud moves in later in the week with a few more flurries of snow, the freezing line picking up again returning close to 2,000m

Sarah Bryden
Repping dates: 08/02/2025 - 15/02/2025I just love being outdoors especially in winter, in the mountains, in the snow, on skis (a good start for a rep!). I recently discovered skiing off the beaten track with SCGB and have become hooked. I became a rep as I love the camaraderie of skiing with SCGB members, finding the lesser skied/ hidden/ locals' pistes, lunching and having fun with other members on piste off, piste and apres piste. I look forward to skiing with you this season or next!
Les Morgan
Repping dates: 15/02/2025 - 22/02/2025Ever since I was not allowed on public bus with my 2m 20cms skis (old days) from Perth Academy – I was determined to go skiing. I love teaching many sports, aerobics, squash, basketball, windsurfing and skiing. (qualified PE teacher) I also created the world’s first multi-coloured dry ski slope (red, blue and gold) while Director of Leisure in Durham. I now live 45 minutes away from the Lecht
Nick Kennett
Repping dates: 22/02/2025 - 15/03/2025After a career working in offices, I have escaped!!
I love nothing more than being in the mountains – summer (cycling and hiking) and winter (skiing). The majesty of the high Alps, the wonder of fresh powder under blue skies and the complete freedom from the day-to-day. I have been skiing since the age of eight and enjoy touring, resort skiing (mainly in Switzerland and France) and off-piste (in fact anything on skis!). In my late 40s, I took up ski racing and now compete in the Mürren Inferno (www.inferno-muerren.ch) and other races across the Alps.
2024/25 Calendar Coming Soon!
Our Reps programme for 2024/25 in this resort is confirmed and will be published shortly. We are making important changes to the Reps’ registration process – more details will be published closer to the winter.
