The slopes
Beginners
The Swiss 'Snowsport School' has its very own nursery slopes at Bolgen and Bunda. From here beginners can soon progress to the wide runs on the Pischa and Madrisa ski areas or try the long blues on the Parsenn.
Intermediates
From high above on the treeline to Weissfluh, it is possible to descend over 2000 vertical metres down into and through wooded valleys to the alpine villages of Küblis, Saas and Serneus, offering a real sense of adventure.
Advanced
With 110kms of advanced runs of which 65kms are marked off-piste runs, Davos is perfect for skiers looking for a deep snow adventure. The Brämbabüel (Jakobshorn) is the prime mogul basher and the long descents to Wolfgang offer tranquillity with a welcome lunch stop at the Kulm restaurant.
Snowboarding
Try the superb runs down from the Jacobshorn and through the trees. Freestylers are not going to be disappointed, there are two pipes and a boardpark on the Parsenn slope.
