Early start to the season

What began as an experiment over 15 years ago has developed into a success story: snow farming in Davos. Thanks to snow that fell over the summer, a four-kilometer-long cross-country ski trail was created by the end of October, which is appreciated by athletes and amateurs alike.

On November 1, 2024, the 20,000 cubic meter pile of snow covered with sawdust will once again be transformed into a four-kilometer-long cross-country ski trail. No wonder: Davos is one of the pioneers in snow farming. By covering it, around 70 to 80 percent of the snow volume is retained. This guarantees an early start to the cross-country skiing season regardless of the temperatures in autumn.

Early training opportunity for everybody

In addition to the Swiss cross-country skiing pros, national teams from over 12 nations train on the snow farming trail in Davos. No wonder, the trail with its climbs and descents is exactly what top cross-country skiers are looking for shortly before the start of the season.

Time slots for various performance groups

To ensure that both top athletes and amateurs can train satisfactorily on the trail, there are usage times with time slots for all performance groups. We ask that you please observe these. Teams and private individuals can use the snow farming trail. Athletes who want to train competitively during the defined time slots must register online in advance.
