Winter walks

It doesn't always have to be the highest peak or the longest route. Quite the opposite. A leisurely winter hike should also be on the to-do list during a winter stay or ski holiday in Davos Klosters. Winter hiking is a classic that never goes out of fashion. No wonder: you can explore the snowy winter landscape without any complicated equipment and without much effort. The morning hours are particularly intense, when the day slowly awakens - and the scent of winter is literally in the air.

By winter hike we mean walks along a prepared path in the snow. Specifically: cleared or rolled. The 'Hohe Promenade' in Davos is particularly popular. It offers an impressive view of the Davos flat roofs, the renovated ice stadium and the surrounding mountains such as the Jakobshorn opposite. A stop on the wooden overpass at the Schatzalpbahn is worth taking for a photo stop.

If you prefer something more sporty, you can continue hiking along the Thomas Mann Trail to Schatzalp. And from there, you can climb steeply up to the Strela Pass. Once you're at the top, there's a viewing terrace with a view of Chüpfenflue, Schiahorn and Haupterhorn. And the Tinzenhorn shines in the distance. Sweeten the view with a piece of apple strudel. The panoramic winter trails on Pischa are also recommended. Don't miss the route that ends at Hüreli at 2444 meters above sea level - one of the most spectacular views of Davos.

Klosters is also known for winter hiking. For example, from the Monbiel car park up to Alp Garfiun. This tour is suitable for the whole family - even with strollers and grandparents. If you want, you can take the horse-drawn carriage back to the valley. Would you rather go up high? You don't have to be a skier to enjoy the snow on the sun-drenched Madrisa. There are two routes to choose from for winter hiking: either from the mountain station to the Mässplatte or to the Zügenhüttli. And for a special atmosphere, a winter hike in the evening: the guided torchlight hike through Klosters is one of around 30 experiences in our winter guest program.

Safe and secure winter hiking is possible in Davos Klosters on the following marked routes. Good to know: The winter hiking trail into the Dischmatal (10 / 244) and into the Sertigtal (19) are located along a busy road.

Lots of fresh snow is a delight for freeriders, winter hikers and snowshoe hikers. For wild animals, however, this means one thing above all: a naked fight for survival. Because what deer, stags, chamois and ibexes normally scratch 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 put to flight, their survival is at risk.

• Respect wildlife rest areas and wildlife sanctuaries
• Stay on paths and marked routes in the forest
• Avoid forest edges and snow-free areas
• Keep dogs on a leash, especially in the forest
