Trail running in winter on snow

The winter hiking trails, 111 km in Davos and 45 km in Klosters, are signposted with purple signs. However, in the winter peak season from Christmas to the end of February and on weekends, these can be very busy. So please run with consideration.

Davos classic: trail running on the Strela Pass

If you don't want to miss out on sporty climbs in winter, walk from Davos along the Thomas Mann Trail to Schatzalp. And from there, climb steeply up to the Strela Pass. As a reward, the sun terrace of the restaurant of the same name awaits you at the top. Tip: Try the Kaiserschmarrn. You return the same way. The combination of the Sonnenweg and Wasserfallweg on the Schatzalp is also worthwhile. Don't feel like climbing the 300 meters up to the Schatzalp? Just take the Schatzalpbahn.

Tip: Trail run up to Alp Garfiun in Klosters

Klosters also has a classic: the run from Monbiel to Alp Garfiun is ideal for clearing your head. With freshly fallen snow, you almost feel like you've been transported into a winter fairytale come true. At the top of Alp Garfiun there are freshly prepared alpine dishes and a fantastic view. The way back leads along the Landquart back to Klosters Platz.

Safe on the road with the right equipment

No matter which route you choose: Trail shoes with a good profile ensure grip on slippery surfaces, while warm functional clothing protects against the cold. In addition, the winter sun comes out late - and sets early. That's why reflectors on your clothing and a headlamp are important companions. And watch out: snow groomers are on the winter hiking trails at night.
