Jakobshorn

The "Davos Vertical" piste is the new valley run on the Jakobshorn. The black piste leads from Usser Isch through the forest to Carjöl and to Davos Platz. With the new entrance at the Carjöl middle station, it becomes an attractive black piste for any time of day.

Après-ski in Davos has a name: Jatzhütte – and has had one since 1988. No wonder: whirlpool and palm trees at 2560 m above sea level, the legendary hot drink Kafi Sex and party people dancing wildly on tables. Here the nightlife often starts in broad daylight. Tip: Don't miss the full moon party.

The Funi Line lives up to its name, which is derived from funicular (cable car). This day tour connects all secured but unprepared slopes in Davos Klosters. In short: no ascent. Just new lines in the powder snow. Highlights from the Jakobshorn are the descents to Teufi and Mühle.

Whether you're a snowshoe hiker, freerider or ski tourer: in an emergency, every second counts. There is an avalanche training center at the top station of the Carjöler chairlift (Fuxägufer) on the Jakobshorn. There you can practice a rescue operation under realistic conditions with your avalanche transceiver.

Snakes, jumps and turns mean nothing to you? It's high time to change that. Four lines with 20 elements ensure action in the snow at JatzPark. In short: a must-visit for freestylers and anyone who wants to become one. Not tired yet? The superpipe and the air bag at Bolgen guarantee further highs.

The "Raiffeisen Run" on Parsenn creates a World Cup atmosphere. World Cup atmosphere on two mountains: try out the parallel slalom on Parsenn and the giant slalom on the Jakobshorn. Light barriers on Parsenn measure your time from start to finish. What is your best time?

All you can hear is the crunching sound under your soles as the snowshoes sink gently into the fresh snow. The marked and secured snowshoe tour leads from the Jakobshorn mountain station past the Stadlersee up to the Rossboden at over 2600 m above sea level. A nature experience far away from the hustle and bustle.

The Jakobshorn offers a special challenge for trail runners: the Vertical. The route climbs 1000 meters in altitude and is 4.8 km long and leads from Bolgen Plaza up to the summit of the Jakobshorn. In summer, a race of the same name is held for top and amateur runners.

Davos Klosters is considered an ideal flying area all year round. After a short adrenaline rush at take-off, the amazement begins: you notice how quiet it is - often all you can hear is the gentle rush of the wind. Popular take-off locations on the Jakobshorn: at the Jatzhütte in winter and at the Brämabüel in summer.

Traditional craftsmanship on the Jakobshorn: From June to mid-September, you can watch how fresh milk is processed into Clavadeler alpine cheese every day from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This excursion destination is around 45 minutes' walk from the Jschalp middle station or an hour from Clavadel.

Epic bike tours start from the Jakobshorn. This includes the Alps Epic Trail Davos to Filisur – the longest single trail in Switzerland. On the way you cross the bridge on which mountain bike star Danny MacAskill balanced on a wall above an 84-meter-deep abyss in the video Home of Trails.

Relax by the lake and enjoy the view? You can do that on the Jakobshorn near the Stadlersee, at 2519 meters above sea level. The lake, complete with a well-equipped fireplace and barbecue wood, is a 20-minute walk from the mountain station. What is particularly pleasing for families: the path is suitable for strollers.

The ridge hike towards Jatzhorn and further into the Sertigtal is something very special. You can easily conquer the first few meters of altitude with the cable car all the way to the top. After that, the feeling of being at the summit seems never-ending. You also have the best view of the Tinzenhorn, which looks very similar to the Matterhorn. Don't forget your camera!
