When does Davos Klosters Mountains open?
Roughly mid/late November to mid-April. For the 2026/27 season, one official-facing source reported the Parsenn lifts opening 13 Nov 2026, daily operation across the area from 20 Nov 2026, and the resort staying open after Easter until 11 Apr 2027; exact dates vary by mountain sector and by year based on snow conditions.
How to get to Davos Klosters Mountains
Davos and Klosters are both directly served by their own Rhaetian Railway stations, with regular trains from Landquart/Chur (roughly 2-2.5 hr from Zurich by train). Nearest airport with scheduled commercial service is Zurich (~2-2.5 hr by car/train); the small Samedan/Engadin airfield near St. Moritz is closer but limited to private aviation.
Gondolas and chairlifts are listed above under Notable lifts. These are specifically two-station reversible aerial tramways — a distinct lift type.
Verified locations only: the resort area and its named cable car stations. We don't have precise coordinates for individual accommodation listings, so those aren't plotted here — use the booking link in the sidebar instead.
Every note below is drawn from the resort's own or an independent official publication.
'Davos-Klosters' combines five linked-by-lift-pass but not all physically interconnected mountain sectors (Parsenn, Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn, Madrisa, Pischa); a sixth area, Schatzalp/Strela, is sometimes included in marketing copy but was not covered in the operator's own facts-and-figures breakdown used here.
piste_km_total (253 km) and the blue/red/black breakdown are taken directly from davosklostersmountains.ch's own 'Facts and Figures' page, which gives a per-mountain table: Parsenn (blue 23/red 64/black 16, total 115 km), Jakobshorn (blue 25/red 12/black 3, total 53 km), Rinerhorn (blue 12/red 20/black 8, total 48 km), Madrisa (blue 6/red 9/black 6, total 28 km), and Pischa (6 km, all ungroomed 'downhill route'). Summing the per-mountain blue/red/black figures gives 66/105/33 km; the resort also separately lists ~46 km of unclassified 'downhill route (yellow)' terrain across all five mountains, which is not a standard piste-difficulty grade and is not included in the four requested fields. Note the resort's own headline figure (253 km) and the sum of its own per-mountain table (250 km including yellow routes) don't perfectly reconcile - likely minor internal rounding on the resort's own page, not something this research can resolve further.
Multiple independent/travel sources give noticeably different total piste figures for Davos-Klosters, ranging from about 266 km to 320 km, and lift counts from 46 to 70 (vs. the operator's own stated 44 lifts, 'incl. 2 beginner lifts in the valley'). This is a substantial spread; used the operator's own current figures (253 km / 44 lifts) as the most authoritative, but flagging that third-party numbers commonly cited elsewhere disagree meaningfully.
Base altitude (810 m) is the lowest lift-served point in the network (consistent across several independent sources), not the altitude of Davos itself, which is one of the highest towns in Europe at roughly 1,560 m - a notable base-altitude ambiguity worth flagging, similar to Verbier's.
Davos and Klosters have separate tourist office contact points under the same Davos Klosters Tourismus organization; Davos Platz main office listed here. Klosters office: +41 81 410 20 20, info@klosters.ch, https://www.klosters.ch/en.
The 13,000+ persons/hour figure found in sources refers to combined Jakobshorn-area lift capacity, not the Jakobshornbahn alone; noted to avoid overstating a single lift's throughput.
Capacity figures for Weissfluhgipfelbahn, Schatzalpbahn and Madrisabahn were not found in sources checked and are left null.
'Central Sports' and 'Guler Sport', suggested as possible shop names in initial research, could not be confirmed as currently operating and were excluded in favor of verified shops (Bardill Sport, Andrist Sport, Intersport Rent).
