Davos Klosters lies in Grisons and ranks among the large ski networks of the Alps: 300 kilometres of piste served by 24 lifts.
The area runs from 1124 to 2844 metres above sea level, giving around 1,720 metres of vertical. The upper slopes therefore sit at an altitude that usually holds snow reliably even in weaker winters.
The season usually runs Nov – April.
Freestylers get a well-developed snow park, an adult day pass costs CHF 92.
Of note: Six separate areas, with the Parsenn as the classic

Getting there by public transport
Destination stop: Davos Dorf, Schiaweg. Fastest connection on a Saturday morning in the currently published timetable, from the open Swiss timetable interface, retrieved 10 August 2026.

Frequently asked about Davos Klosters
How high is Davos Klosters?
The ski area runs from 1,124 to 2,844 metres above sea level, a vertical range of 1,720 metres. For snow reliability the lower figure matters more: that is where the snow disappears first, and where a mild December is felt before it is felt at the top.
How many kilometres of piste does Davos Klosters have?
300 kilometres on 24 lifts, according to the operator. There is no binding standard for measuring piste kilometres, so the figure is comparable between resorts only to a point. The lift count says at least as much about how big a place feels.
What does a day pass at Davos Klosters cost?
CHF 92 for an adult day pass at the standard rate, as of summer 2026. Booked early it is often less; on a peak Saturday it is not. Arriving by public transport takes up to 10 per cent off through the Snow’n’Rail scheme.
When does Davos Klosters open?
The usual season window is Nov – April. For winter 2026/27 the resort has announced 13 November 2026 as its starting date (Parsenn, voraussichtlich). Every announced date depends on enough snow and cold.
How do I get to Davos Klosters by train?
The destination stop is Davos Dorf, Schiaweg. From Zürich HB the fastest connection on a Saturday morning takes 2 h 24, changing 2 times; from Bern 3 h 29. A guide value, not a timetable.
Is there Snow’n’Rail at Davos Klosters?
Yes. Davos Klosters is one of the destinations in SBB RailAway's combined offer: book the journey and the ski pass together and the pass costs up to 10 per cent less. That percentage is the maximum SBB advertises; what actually comes off depends on the ticket type and the date, and only SBB can tell you bindingly.
Is there a snowpark at Davos Klosters?
Yes, and a good one: we rate it 7 out of 10. That rating is our own assessment, based on the size and number of features, how regularly the park is shaped, and whether it runs all season. It does not come from the lift company.

Weekend of 7/8 November: Glacier 3000, Verbier and Cervinia start, and from Tuesday the freezing level climbs to almost 3000 metres
What the lift companies themselves confirm for the weekend, what they do not, and what the official MeteoSwiss forecast says for next week: dry until Monday, then rain up into high terrain, with snow returning only on Friday.
Nine months too warm, eight months too dry: Is that unusual, and will November be drier because of it?
In Zurich, Bern and Davos every month since February was warmer than the average and every month since March drier. We recalculated up to 162 years of measurements: dry spells like this occur about as often as chance would predict, and a dry summer says little about November.
Second winter storm: up to 24 centimetres in 24 hours measured, and the next wave arrives on Sunday
SLF stations recorded a rise in snow depth of up to 24 centimetres in 24 hours, and the deepest snow measured is 36. On Sunday MeteoSwiss expects the next wave, and on Tuesday the freezing level climbs above 4,000 metres. What was measured and what is due until 1 November.
A cold snap for the season start: Sölden, Stubai and the Kitzsteinhorn open this weekend
On Thursday it snows on the glaciers, in all 51 model runs. On Friday Sölden and Stubai start, on Saturday the Kitzsteinhorn. How much snow falls where, who is already running and who is still waiting.
