Why Ski In Davos?
Davos may not be the prettiest resort, but it delivers where it counts, on the slopes. With 320 km of pistes shared with Klosters and an altitude of 1,550 m, it offers high, snow-sure skiing across six varied ski areas.
It’s a top choice for intermediate and advanced skiers. Expect quiet runs, long descents, and excellent off-piste. Intermediates will enjoy the range and remoteness of many trails, while experts can tackle steep wooded runs and moguls. Beginners have limited options, though the Jakobshorn nursery slope is a solid choice for those based in Davos Platz.
If you’re more interested in skiing than scenery, Davos offers big-mountain terrain with minimal crowds and plenty of variety.
Eco-friendly
Davos in Switzerland was awarded an Energy Town award in 2001 that’s due to several initiatives that removed the need for fossil fuel. The village’s entire hot water needs are met via a 60 solar-panelled thermal system which produces 820,000 kWh. In addition, there is a biogas plant which generates a further 200,000 kWh of energy.
