Snowfarming in Davos

At the end of October, the 20,000-cubic-metre snow pile, covered with sawdust, is transformed back into a four-kilometer cross-country ski trail. No wonder: Davos is one of the pioneers in snowfarming. Covering the snow preserves approximately 70 to 80 percent of its volume. This allows for an early start to the cross-country skiing season, largely independent of autumn temperatures. The snowfarming area is located a few meters above Färichpark on Flüelastrasse.

To ensure that competitive and recreational cross-country skiers can use the trail safely alongside each other, time slots are in place for the different performance groups. Please observe these. Teams and individuals can use the snow farming trail. Anyone wishing to train at competitive/elite level skiing during the defined time slots must register online in advance.

Anyone who purchases a competitive sports season pass (blue, pink or yellow bib: CHF 60) will receive a coloured bib according to their performance level and user group. The bib is personal and non-transferable and must be worn on the trail. Bibs must be returned to the staff on site. A fee of CHF 50 will be charged for any bibs that are not returned.

• Day pass adults & children: CHF 10
• Season pass adults & children: CHF 60
• Swiss cross-country skiing pass is valid. Additional fee for bib numbers of CHF 20
• Davos Klosters season pass with snowfarming add-on is valid

Snow farming passes and day tickets can be purchased online or directly at the ticket office on the snow farming site. Online tickets must be exchanged at the ticket office for colored wristbands or "bibs." The wristbands must be worn visibly on the left arm.

There are only limited parking options at the snowfarming site. These are subject to a fee. A parking permit for the period in which snow farming is in operation costs 50 CHF per vehicle. Please send booking requests by email to bwl@gemeindedavos.ch.

Day parking tickets can be purchased at the entrance to the snowfarming site. Payment is only possible digitally, no cash payments. The instructions of the staff on site must be followed. Parking along the Flüela Pass road is not permitted. Additional parking spaces are located in the Färich, Stilli area.
