Summary
One of your editors learned to ski in Davos, so it has a special place in our affections. Many return visits have confirmed the appeal of its slopes, which are both distinctive and extensive and have revealed its considerable off-piste potential. But the town/city (it could never be called a village) does not get any easier to like. Davos may be the more convenient base for access to most of the mountains it shares with Klosters, but Klosters has the welcoming, intimate feel of a ski resort, and Davos does not.
News – this season 2011/12
On Jakobshorn, the Brämabüel draglift up from Jschalp is to be replaced by a high-speed quad – the small mountain’s fifth fast chair.
News – last season
The second stage of the Parsenn funicular from mid-mountain to Weissfluhjoch was upgraded and now goes much more quickly.
