Snowshoeing
Powder fun far away from the hustle and bustle
Snowshoeing in a winter wonderland
Do you like hiking and snow? Then you should go snowshoeing. Especially in Davos Klosters, where snowshoeing is still considered an insider tip.
Snowshoe hiking is booming. No wonder: the best way to get to the most untouched parts of the snowy mountains of Davos Klosters is with snowshoes. If you can walk, you can also snowshoe. Simply strap the snowshoes under your winter boots, grab your poles and the adventure in Davos Klosters starts practically from the hotel door - from a summit tour to a leisurely hike on the valley floor.
Marked and secured snowshoe routes
The marked and secured summit tour on the Jakobshorn is particularly popular. It leads past the Stadlersee up to the Rossboden at over 2,600 meters above sea level. Another tip is the alternative snow sports area Pischa for snowshoe hiking. From up here you have a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and valleys. And on Madrisa, the signposted Zügenhüttli snowshoe trail beckons with a wonderful view of Klosters and a break in the restaurant of the same name.
snowshoe tours in the valley floor
Not only in the mountains, but also in the valley floor, there are varied routes to explore. In Davos, the Wolfgang Trail, the Tinzenblick Trail, the Landwasser Trail and the Wildboden Trail lead through the winter landscape. The tours are between two and five kilometers long. The start and finish points are also easily accessible by public transport. There is also an attractive route in Klosters: the 4-kilometer-long Alpenrösli Trail.
Would you prefer to go with a snowshoe guide?
For anyone who has no knowledge of avalanches and snow but still wants to go high, we recommend a guide. This will lead guests safely away from the marked paths through snow-covered forests and untouched winter landscapes. Snowshoe hikes under a full moon are a special nature experience - best combined with a typical Graubünden dinner in a mountain hut.

Visit Pischa. With snowshoes
Die Pischa-Bahn transportiert bequem hinauf auf 2500 Meter über Meer. Von hier aus startet die Schneeschuhtour hinab über verschneite Hänge und am Schluss durch den verschneiten Arvenwald zurück zur Talstation. Wer es sportlich mag, kann die Route auch bergaufwärts machen. Übrigens, Schneeschuhe können Sie direkt bei der Pischa-Talstation mieten.
Marked snowshoeing routes
Safe and secure snowshoe hiking is possible in Davos Klosters on the following marked routes:
Wildlife rest areas & sanctuaries
Even the unexpected appearance of a winter sports enthusiast can be problematic for wild animals in winter: fleeing costs a lot of energy, which is then not enough to survive. Four simple rules can help.
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.
Respecting wildlife
- 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
