Piste map of Davos
The piste map of Davos shows how six separate ski areas combine to form one of Switzerland's largest ski systems, with a total of 300 km of pistes when counted together with neighbouring Klosters. The map covers Davos's own 150 km and 57 lifts, from the town at 1 560 metres up to Weissfluhgipfel at 2 844 metres. Parsenn is the largest area, with long runs down towards Klosters and a vertical drop of a full 2 000 metres, while Jakobshorn appears as the hub for après-ski and the snowpark. The pistes are evenly spread across all levels of difficulty, which makes the map just as useful for beginners as for experienced skiers.

How to ski in Davos
Most beginners and families stick to the slopes closest to the village of Davos, where the blue pistes (around 30 per cent of the system) are easily reached straight from the lift stations down in the town. The terrain here is open and even, and there is no need to cross steeper sections to get to the nursery slopes.
The more demanding skiing is found higher up the mountains, where the red (30 per cent) and black (20 per cent) sections take over on steeper flanks with more varied terrain. The higher you go, the more challenging the gradient becomes, and this is where experienced skiers head to find real speed and pitch.
The Davos ski system is split across several separate mountains that are not always linked by piste, so you travel between them by ski bus or train. With 57 lifts and 150 kilometres of groomed pistes locally (and 300 kilometres in total if you include Klosters), you will usually manage to explore one or two mountains properly in a day rather than covering the whole system.
The vertical drop between the village at 1 560 metres and the summit at 2 844 metres means snow quality is often better higher up, especially early in the season, while the lower blue runs near the village can get crowded in the middle of the day when everyone gathers there for lunch or easier skiing.
