Dog trails

Davos offers five special cross-country ski trails for dogs. Your four-legged friends are welcome to accompany you on 16.5 kilometers of trails. A true nature experience.

Dog owners know only too well that their four-legged friends love to romp around in the snow. However, dogs are often not welcome on cross-country ski trails. This is different in Davos, where there are five specially designated dog trails:

  • Islen
  • Frauenkirch
  • Landwasser-Trail
  • Frauenkircher Skating-Route
  • D'Höf

Dogs are allowed to accompany their owners on a total of 18.5 kilometers of trails. It doesn't matter if the dogs leave a few paw prints on the trails. But please be considerate of other cross-country skiers so that using the trail together remains a pleasant experience for everyone.
