Freeride
Off-piste to happiness
New: Freeride week programme
From January to March (or as long as there is enough snow), the mountain guides from Go Vertical offer a different freeride tour in Davos Klosters every day. All tours focus on the descent, the ascents are short and manageable. Bookings can be made until 4 pm the evening before. A tour takes place with a minimum of 3 participants.
Learn moreOne of the best freeride areas in the Alps
In Davos Klosters there are six ski areas for freeriding. Freeriders can comfortably reach different variants from high alpine to secured routes with the mountain railways. The highlights include the Funi Line and the 3 Bahnentour.
Take a deep breath and go. The momentum swings all by itself, powder snow swirls up on both sides. It's like surfing. No, even better: it's like floating. The slight fear of the ride? Forgotten. A glance back at the freshly ridden line in the deep snow. Feelings of happiness. This is what a freeride adventure in Davos Klosters feels like. All you need for freeriding is a special backpack, avalanche beeper and long, wide boards on your feet. And best of all, a guide to show you our freeride area.
Comfortably with the funicular to the starting point
Apart from that, everything is there: different slope inclinations to find the best line for you. In addition, there are six ski areas, so that you can still find untracked slopes a few days after the last snowfall. And the best thing is that you can comfortably reach different variants from high alpine to secured routes here with the mountain railway. Like in hardly any other ski area, the piste services make sure that you really feel safe when freeriding on the yellow-marked slopes.
Funi Line - secured but free deep snow skiing
The Funi Line lives up to its name, derived from funicular. This day tour connects all the secured but unprepared slopes in Davos Klosters. In short: no ascent. Just draw new lines and enjoy the fresh powder snow. The freeride slopes are skiable from mid-December to mid-April, depending on snow conditions. Good to know: On all secured slopes, the regional rescue service decides whether the slope is open or not.
3 Bahnentour - Davos Klosters, Arosa/Lenzerheide, Tschiertschen
Not enough yet? Then off you go on the 3 Bahnentour. This gives experienced freeriders access to an unforgettable day tour. Tickets are available at the valley station of the Parsennbahn in Davos or at the Gotschnabahn in Klosters - for CHF 88 per person. The tour starts in Davos on the Weissfluh summit with a steep descent to Sapün. Incidentally, this route was originally made famous by Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Freeride tour suggestions in Davos Klosters
Freeriders use our tour suggestions at their own risk, as freeride lines run away from groomed and secured ski slopes. We do not accept any liability for accidents or damage of any kind. As a beginner, attend a freeride and avalanche course or book a mountain guide.
Wildlife Rest Areas & Game Reserves
The unexpected appearance of a freerider can be problematic for wild animals in winter: an escape costs a lot of energy, which is then lacking to survive. Four simple rules help.
Freeriders are happy about a lot of fresh snow. For wild animals, on the other hand, this means one thing above all else: a naked fight for survival. Because what deer, deer, chamois and ibex normally scrape out of the snow to eat is now under a thick blanket of snow. Wild animals are therefore forced to use their energy sparingly. If they are disturbed and forced to flee, their survival is at risk.
4 rules while being out there
- Respect designated wildlife areas and wildlife reserves
- Stay on paths and marked trails in the forest
- Avoid forest edges and snow-free surfaces
- Keep your dog on a lead, particularly in the forest
