Rinerhorn

Hidden gem for families and night-time winter sports
The Rinerhorn ski area in Davos Klosters, Switzerland, is an insider tip for families and winter sports at night.

Winter season 2024/25 on the Rinerhorn

The 2024/25 winter season starts on December 20, 2024 and lasts until March 30, 2025. The Rinerhorn will be closed during the WEF (January 20 to 24, 2025). No night service on Friday, January 24, 2025.

Family-friendly: the Rinerhorn in Davos

A toboggan run with 33 bends and rapid steep curves, winter sports at night and a family-friendly ski area with ski lifts and cozy mountain huts. It's no wonder that the Rinerhorn is one of the insider tips in Davos Klosters, and not just among locals.

There are some things that are simply more special in the dark than in the daytime. Anyone who has ever photographed the starry sky or looks back on their first dates as a teenager will know this. It is similar with winter sports on the Rinerhorn: Riding down the 3.5 km long toboggan run or the illuminated ski slope into the valley in the evening is a more intense experience than during the day. During the winter season from mid-December to the end of March, you have the opportunity to experience exactly this on Wednesdays and Fridays from 7 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. If you prefer to leave your boards or sledges at home in the evening, you can take the gondola up to a spaghetti chat (Wednesday) or a candlelight dinner (Friday) in the Jatzmeder restaurant.

Flowy single trails for mountain bikers

Speaking of action: The Rinerhorn is also popular with mountain bikers. Alongside the Jakobshorn, it is the second entry point for the Alps Epic Trail Davos - the longest single trail in Switzerland. For those who prefer a slightly shorter route, there are plenty of alternatives on the mountain of all levels of difficulty. Tip: Save yourself the altitude, the gondola up also transports bikes.

Rinerhorn: a family ski resort in winter

But the Rinerhorn also has a lot to offer during the day: 49 kilometers of groomed slopes for wide carving turns, a 6-person gondola and four ski lifts as well as deep snow options such as the black run at Leidbachtal for freeriders. Beginners, families and leisure skiers in particular feel at home on the predominantly blue and red slopes. In addition, the ski bar is usually handed out personally at the ski lift. Children love the magic forest on the Rinerhorn. Witches are up to mischief there and provide fun in the snow with small bumps and jumps.

Summer: petting zoo, playground and scooter rides

In summer, the Rinerhorn remains an insider tip for families. These include easy hikes such as the high trail to Monstein or down into the Sertigtal. On the way there, it is worth taking a break at the barbecue area on the Äbirügg. It is also easy to get there with a stroller or wheelchair. Right by the mountain station, alpacas are waiting to be petted and there is a large playground with a bouncy castle, trampoline and climbing tower. The fast scooter descent down into the valley provides the necessary amount of action.
