5 ideas for family winter holidays in Davos

Just let yourself fall into the snow and fly! When on winter holiday, making a snow angel is an absolute must. It’s even better if you’re in an area where the snow is still completely pristine. On Pischa and on Jakobshorn, you will find amazing routes where you can explore the powder snow with snowshoes. Trying out a new sport together as a family is a lot of fun! Have you already found the perfect spot for a snow angel?

Good to know: Snowshoes can be rented at the Bardill Shop on Jakobshorn and at the Pischa valley station. When booking a snowshoe package at the ticket offices or in the webshop, you’ll get both the rental and the ride up the mountain.

Make the most of your winter day with night sledging on Rinerhorn. Dress warmly and head out into the snow for your next adventure. Under the starry night sky, sledging becomes even more special.

Another day in the snow awaits tomorrow!

Highlight: On Wednesday and Friday from 7.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m., the slopes on Rinerhorn are also open for skiing and snowboarding. The highlight on Wednesday is the «Bündner Abend» at Jatzmeder Restaurant. There is a sauce for every taste to go with the popular Italian dish.
