Untouched winter landscapes

Away from the much-trampled paths you will conquer deep snowy forests and untouched winter landscapes with snow shoes. Our regional providers ensure you have the right equipment and are also happy to arrange a mountain guide for your tour. Snow shoe walks are a very special natural experience under the full moon - best combined with a typical Grisons evening meal in a traditional mountain hut.

Important information on using footpaths in the winter

Please observe the safety information issued by the district of Davos for winter walkers, snow shoe walkers and alpine ramblers.

Wildlife areas & wildlife reserves

For wild animals a hard winter means a naked fight for survival. Therefore please respect the wildlife resting areas.

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.
