There is a long history of snowsports in the Davos Valley, particularly on the local Parsenn Mountain.
The funicular here was built for skiers over 80 years ago (it has since been upgraded!). This is now one of six areas covered by the regional ski pass, which provides access to 55 lifts – several of which have also been recently rebuilt. Getting between the areas can be a bit of a hassle – especially to Klosters – but there is a good bus service linking up all the areas that comes free with your ski pass.

AprésThe charming village of Davos is an exceptional choice for a short break in the mountains. With over 300km of pistes in the linked ski area, it’s a resort that should be on every traveller’s bucket list.
Pros and cons
- A variety of slopes in six different sectors
- Fantastic long pistes from the Parsenn down to the valley
- Good itineraries and great freeride terrain at Pischa
- A large town with a large variety of accommodation to choose from
- Large resort with busy through roads
- Getting about involves utilising the resort bus, and the six mountains are not interlinked
- Quite a few T-bars on the smaller mountains
- Difficult pistes back to resort, particularly from Parsenn
Mountain Plaza Hotel Davos
You will be staying at the 4* Mountain Plaza Hotel Davos, an impressive hotel with spa facilities – including a large swimming pool and fitness centre. At the end of a long day on the mountain, you’ll be able to unwind in the comfort of your own room, before enjoying a delicious four-course dinner in the panoramic restaurant. The hotel runs a free shuttle service to and from the ski lifts throughout the season.
This holiday is on a single occupancy basis. You will therefore be placed in a room on your own for the duration of the trip. If you would prefer to share a room with someone you know, then please contact the Freshtracks office and we will make the relevant arrangements.

It is a condition of booking that you have valid and adequate snowsports insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure your policy provides cover for all the activities that you participate in during your holiday.
We offer a Ski Club Insurance policy which provides the cover we require for all bookings. This policy can be found here: Ski Club Travel Insurance – Ski Club Of Great Britain
If you decide to purchase insurance elsewhere, it is your responsibility to ensure that your policy provides cover as that of the Ski Club Insurance policy. The policy of insurance should provide cover for personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries which you intend to visit, together with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, curtailment, missed departure and legal expenses. The policy should also include cover against losses caused by the effects or consequences of Covid-19.
Due to the type of holidays that you will be booking with us, we also advise that your policy should include skiing off-piste without a guide. Please note, insurance premiums must be paid at the same time as booking in order for the package holiday or single service cancellation cover to be effective. It is also advised to keep your insurance details with you while you are on your holiday. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
