Spring skiing at its finest

Jakobshorn: First Adrenaline, Then Aperitif
Your perfect spring day begins on the Jakobshorn with a little test of courage. The black run 42, called 1K Vertical, is one of the most impressive descents in the region: around 1000 meters of vertical drop in one go, steep, direct, and only suitable for good or experienced skiers. It shows its best side in the morning when the snow is still grippy.

Once you reach the bottom, it's clear: that was just the first part.

For the reward, you have to go back up. On the terrace of the Jatzhütte, the well-deserved ritual awaits: a «Kafi Sex» (coffee with Baileys), sunshine on your face, and that unique Jakobshorn atmosphere.

And then comes perhaps the most important tip of the day: For your last run, please choose the blue valley run. Your thighs will thank you.

Season: The Jakobshorn is open until April 12 – perfect conditions for enjoyable spring skiing days.

Parsenn: Ski the panorama, savour the view
On Parsenn, your ski day quickly starts to feel more expansive. The runs are long, the turns wide – and somewhere between two carvings, you realise you’re suddenly looking around more than you’re skiing.

The red run no. 4 down to Dorftäli towards the Rapid lift is made for exactly this. It doesn’t just lead you down the mountain – it opens views into the Dischma, Sertig and Flüela valleys. Three valleys at once – worth a short pause.

Back up at Weissfluhjoch, the panorama continues seamlessly. At the new «Joch Mountain Diamond» restaurant, a panorama platter awaits that lives up to the view in every sense.

Season: Parsenn is open until 12 April – plenty of time for a few of those “just one more run” days.

Rinerhorn: Ski first, Kaiserschmarrn after
At Rinerhorn, the pace of the day naturally slows down. Fewer people, more space – and that pleasant feeling of not having to rush.

You ski a few runs, maybe one more – and another one. And at some point, the important question arises: is it already 2 pm?

Because that’s when Kaiserschmarrn is served at the Hubelhütte. Freshly made, warm, and exactly what you want when the sun is still shining, and the day starts to ease into its more indulgent side.

If you head out for another run afterwards, you’re doing it right. If you stay seated, you are too.

Operations: Open daily until 22 March, then weekends only – perfect for spontaneous spring outings.

Pischa: Fewer pistes, more freedom
Pischa is the mountain for those looking for something different in spring. No classic pistes, no fixed routines – just space and possibilities.

Freeriders will find open terrain to explore, while winter hikers, snowshoers and sledders enjoy the quiet and wide-open surroundings. It’s exactly this mix that makes Pischa so special.

It’s not about doing as much as possible. It’s about doing the right thing.
And sometimes that simply means stopping, looking around, and doing nothing for a moment.

Operations: Open until 22 March – ideal for a different kind of ski day.

Madrisa: A ski day that feels effortless
On Madrisa, a ski day can be a little more playful. In fact, it should be.

At Madrisa-Land, it’s all about discovering, trying things out and having fun – often more beside the piste than on it. And that’s exactly the point. It’s less about technique and more about shared experiences as a family.

While the children are off exploring, there’s time for a coffee, a moment in the sun or simply to take in the mountain views. And suddenly you realise: this is exactly how a ski day should feel.

Season: Madrisa is open until 6 April – perfect for relaxed family spring days.

Schatzalp: A ski day that doesn’t have to be one
Schatzalp is perhaps the best place to pause your ski day – or to redefine it entirely.

A walk along the Thomas Mann Trail, the sun on your face, Davos at your feet – often, that’s all you need. And if not, the Snow Beach terrace offers a delightful surprise: a light Thai menu that feels anything but typical for a ski day – and works all the better because of it. Less schedule, more moment.

Operations: Open until the end of March – ideal for slower, more indulgent days in between.

Spring skiing in Davos Klosters is about catching the right moment.
And often, that moment is right now.
