Some things are simply more magical at night than they are during the day – as anyone who’s ever photographed the starry sky or looked back on their first romantic trysts would know. The same goes for winter sports on the Rinerhorn – gliding down the 3.5-kilometre-long sledging trail or the illuminated ski run to the valley is an even more intense experience by night than it is in the daytime. During the winter season, from mid-December to the end of March, you can do just that on Wednesdays and Fridays between 7:00 pm and 10:30 pm. If you prefer to leave your sledges and skis at home in the evening, why not take the gondola lift up to the Jatzmeder restaurant, where you can enjoy their spaghetti night (Weds) or candlelit dinner (Fri).
The Rinerhorn also has plenty to offer during the daytime: 49 kilometres of groomed slopes for wide carving turns, a six-person gondola lift, and four ski lifts, plus deep powder on some slopes, such as the Leidbachtal black descent for freeriders. Beginners, families and pleasure skiers will feel particularly well-catered for here, where the slopes are predominantly red and blue. The chairlifts are also usually manned, with the bars handed to you personally. Children will love the magical forest on the Rinerhorn. The witches there are a mischievous bunch, and there is plenty of fun to be had with the little bumps and jumps they have made in the snow.
The Rinerhorn is a hidden gem for families in summer. Activities include easy hiking trails, such as the Höhenweg to Monstein or down to the Sertigtal valley. It’s always worth stopping for a break at the Äbirügg barbecue area. Up to that point, the path is also accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Right next to the upper cable car station, you will find alpacas to pet and a vast playground with a bouncy castle, trampoline and climbing frame. If you’re seeking extra thrills, try the fast scooter trail down to the valley.
While we’re on the subject of action: the Rinerhorn is also popular with mountain bikers. Next to the Jakobshorn, it is the second entry point to the Alps Epic Trail Davos – the longest singletrack trail in Switzerland. For those who prefer slightly shorter routes, there are also plenty of alternatives on the mountain, at all levels of difficulty. Our tip: spare yourself the uphill journey – the gondola also carries bikes.
