Great ski resort with beautiful runs and lots of variety. Jan 2018 • Couples. This was our first time skiing in Europe (from US) and didn’t know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by this resort. Lots of variety on transport options (gondola, train, lift). The runs are super wide with amazing views (at least Parsenne).

Davos Klosters ski resort has a high-falutin reputation that is backed-up in reality, with some of the world’s finest on & off-piste skiing. Feted as the 'cradle' of skiing in Switzerland, Davos Klosters is spread across six separate ski areas deep in Grisons (Graubünden) canton, Switzerland. Each ski area has distinctive lifts, terrain & aspect, g...
Pros
1. Sensational variety of lifts, pistes and freeride options. 2. Exceptionally reliable snowfall region (8m annual average). 3. All terrain aspects are available, allowing skiing in all weather conditions. 4. Great learn to ski area in Davos at the base of Jakobshorn. 5. Loads of long, interesting valley trails & routes (up to 12km+ & over 2,000m vert). 6. Massive and challenging freeride terrain. 7. Incredibly quiet on a powder day (blizzard day!). 8. Fabulous restaurants on mountain. 9. Exc...
Cons
1. Ski areas are disjointed - not lift-interlinked; bus or train only. 2. Accommodation, eating out & lift passes are all expensive by Alps standards.
Pro or Con
1. Confusing lift ticket pricing & options. 2. Aging lift infrastructure at Rinerhorn & Pischa, but they are great on a powder day. 3. The two-stage funicular up Parsenn is a clunky way to access the main mountain, but it does run in all weather. 4. Bus transport around to the different ski areas, and returning from most valley routes, can be a pain and can require some planning. 5. Limited ski-in, ski-out accommodation 6. Davos is a large modern city that has lost much of its traditional charm.

Whilst connected by ski lifts, trails, a railway line & road, the towns of Davos & Klostersare over 11km apart if travelling by car. Unless one is doing a day trip from elsewhere, when choosing where to stay overnight has at least 2 clear (& quite different) choices. Davos has the best ski access, nightlife & shopping but has become a soulless shad...
Klostersis the opposite of Davos. Whilst still sizable, with less than half the population of Davos it retains the feel of a classic Swiss mountain village. In part that is simply due to the traditional architectural style used throughout the town, but it is also because of the Gotschnatunnel diverting all through traffic away from the centre of Kl...
In between Davos & Klosters is the small hamlet of Davos Wolfgang. Some quiet lodging options exist here (the excellent Kessler’s Kulm Hotel), but still with the benefit of a train station, bus stop, cross country ski trails & valley return trail from Parsenn. At the fringes of the train & ski route network that is included in a Davos-Klosters ski ...
