The Skiers' Guide to Davos Klosters

We have been visiting Klosters for as long as I’ve been skiing. I learned to ski with the ski school when I was 3 and am now 20 and still love coming here. There is a very peaceful and relaxing vibe in Klosters, with a few nice bars. Madrisa is great for families and Gotschna is great for ski run variety and connects to Davos Parsenn. It has everything you would need for a lovely ski trip.

Great resort for beginners. Apres ski on the mountain at Jatzhuette accessible to all levels but a bit crowded during peak time.

Really enjoyed visiting this area. We spent most of our time on Gotschna mountain which despite the lack of snow and being reasonably busy was still good fun. Pistes were kept in good condition and the yellow hut at the bottom of the run down was a really great vibe for apres after! I will say the mountain is quite small so definitely worth getting a region pass so you can also go to Madrisa and Jacobshorn mountains too.

Great resort, best snow from Parsenn To Klosters, though a few lower runs closed.
Snow cannons working overtime but the pistes were pretty immaculate in the mornings.
Not much opportunity for off piste but some very fun & fast blacks, the vertical slope to Davos from Jakobshorn, and one from very top of Parsenn (Wiessfluhgipfel?) were you can hit some pretty high speeds.

Davos and Klosters, although expensive, are sensational resorts. Parsenn, particularly Weissfluhjoch, and Jakobshorn or super runs. The park on Jakobshorn is great fun. Please go and enjoy as much as I have!

I visit Davos every year with family, and it's always exceptional. I appreciate how much mountain there is to cover between the mountains available in Davos, especially the run from the top of Davos-Parsenn to the bottom of Klosters with a run of approx. 21km straight down, starting with a black slope and ending with a beautiful length of tree run.
The pistes are always well maintained, and a lot of care has gone into comfortable chair lifts with good organisation. Obviously a popular area to ski, it does get busy so watch out for newbies on the slopes but generally very safe skiiers on these slopes so I have no problem or worries skiing.
As we've been skiing for a good 16 years in Davos, a shout out to the hospital and the mountain teams for their stellar work if you do get injured. Not something you want to imagine, getting injured, but if you do there are excellent doctors in Davos!

Several fabulous challenging ski areas (efficiently linked by bus or train) and surprisingly quiet pistes despite it being half term.

Was a nice town to stay in, felt like a premium destination and yet there are accommodation options that are good value for money that make it feel like you are in a premium resort. Good mix of pisted runs and link to Davos. Some good apres ski bars at the bottom of the slopes at the end of the day.

A great resort with lovely pisted runs. Great for a week of skiing but for a good skier all runs can be skied in around a day. It is not a super steep resort but has lovely wide blue and red runs perfect for carving. The off piste is so extensive and with a little touring is very accessible.

Good resort that had a premium feel to areas of the resort, but some good value accommodation options to get the premium feel at a reasonable cost. Good variety of pisted runs and some nice runs through trees.

Decent resort , runs well groomed , few technically challenging runs , more cruising runs , beautiful scenery, very expensive resort and apres is almost non existent

Beautiful resort and slopes, comfortable and efficient lifts, good food and drinks but very expensive

Currently skiing at Klosters, Davos resort. Absolutely amazing runs, long in length and definitely ones to feel the burn. The weather is beautiful, you have endless slopes and can pop between klosters and davos. Your never short of a good pint or place to chill. Runs are well groomed and plenty of off-piste runs to tackle.

Nice groomed runs also with off piste runs as well The Bahns open on time Chairs are fast move lots of people efficiently..Great family atmosphere Villages are warm and friendly from the Housing staff to hotel staff Easily accessible from the awesome train system they have in Switzerland The rental shops in Klosters (Gotchna )sports are very knowledgeable and helpful in many languages

December 2023 me and my friend visited davos for under a week stay. All for skiing, we went there cos an exchange student who stayed with me was from there. The snow was incredible and I sure have never seen anything like it. Although I had only been skiing/ winter holiday once prior to the trip, nonetheless I never thought I would see such snowfall. The town is very nice, quiet and well kept, davos platz being the town we spent all week in. The locals were friendly enough but not the most outgoing bunch, although the tourism was very low as we maybe heard 2-3 occasions of authentic English being spoken (Brittish and one American group). The main experience obviously the skiing, which was great despite myself being very woeful at the actual activity, mainly due to my growth spurt since the previous and only time I went in 2019 as a 13 year old (54) to a then (62) meaning it was a different thing as a whole additionally I could not afford to get lessons which would have made my experience a lot better. But enough of the waffle the runs were class (great) especially the forest runs with the weaving and sharp bends. Decent efficiency on the lifts and some expectional local skiing standards, I was easily the worst skiier there of course. To end on a low the overall trip cost far too much, lifts, passes for a seventeen year old on not too far above minimum wage at home. Luckily I come from a comfortable family ( and I didnt have to pay rent till 18) so I could afford to stay out there albeit very spending conscious. Sounds silly for us to have picked Davos or Switzerland on a whole after explaining my wage but we arrived expecting to stay with the exchange student but he said he never knew we were coming ( big lie hes just stupid and forgot) no hard feelings though he livea far out of the way anyway . Food options terrible but transport services class and country very clean and certified.In conclusion all round good holiday, sorry this has been more of a personal report rather than review but I got a bit caught up lol. Thanks for reading if u got this far

Magical resort I had the best time on the slopes Amazingly maintained red runs, historic run from the top of Parsenn all the way down to the bottom of the valley

Davos is a nice town with lots of accommodation options. It is not for beginners so would suggest being at least intermediate as most skiers are expert level. Lots of slalom skiers. Food and drink is on the expensive side, around 24 -30 CHF for a pizza.

Went with a big group of mixed abilities. Everyone found plenty of pistes / terrain that was great for their level, had a full week of fun. Various slopes accessible with local buses. There's an entire mountain left ungroomed for powder / freeriding. Literally everything we wanted was available here.
Spa nearby, ice skating in town, good food, fun nights. Would go back any season!

Really great resort! Lots of fun red runs that are perfect for people with intermediate level. Not at all busy and lots of free space on the slopes. Everywhere is up to very high quality and all the food is amazing!

Skiers were generally very serious. Beautiful villages, runs really lovely and great options for both beginner and more serious skiers. Beginners tend to be on the Madrisa side which makes that area great (and separate) for families and beginners.

Apres life isnt hugely popping and food is expensive but lots of great things going on.
