Navigating Nature
Why Freeride in Davos-Klosters?
Davos is a freerider’s paradise: six distinct mountain areas linked by side valleys, each hiding perfect slopes to discover. Every run ends in a valley served by public transport, so you’re never stranded.
From here you can ride into Klosters, Arosa, even Gargellen in Austria, creating a vast freeride domain. Most zones are lift-accessed, meaning more turns and less climbing.
What makes Davos-Klosters special is its secret vibe: fewer crowds, more untouched snow, and fresh lines days after a storm.

FAQ
Do I need a ski pass for freeride or backcountry lessons in Davos?
Yes, a valid ski pass is required for lift-accessed freeride zones in Davos-Klosters. If your tour includes hiking or ski touring in the backcountry, a pass may not always be necessary, but your guide will clarify this when planning your trip and help you arrange any needed passes.
Do I need previous off-piste experience to join a freeride lesson in Davos?
Not at all! Our freeride and backcountry tours are tailored to your skill level — from powder first-timers to advanced freeriders. If you’re new to off-piste skiing or snowboarding, we’ll start with safety training and easier lines before progressing to more challenging terrain.
Do I need to walk much during backcountry or freeride tours, or are the runs easily accessible?
Most of our freeride zones in Davos-Klosters are lift-accessed, meaning minimal hiking and more skiing or riding. However, some backcountry tours may involve short hikes or skinning to reach pristine terrain. Your guide will match the tour to your fitness level and preferences.
Is backcountry skiing in Davos safe?
Safety is our top priority. Our certified guides know the Davos-Klosters terrain intimately and always choose routes that match conditions and ability levels. Avalanche safety gear is provided or can be rented, and all guests receive a safety briefing before we start.
What equipment do I need for a freeride lesson?
You’ll need skis or a snowboard designed for powder, avalanche safety gear (beacon, shovel, probe), and appropriate clothing for alpine conditions. If you don’t have your own equipment, we’ll help you arrange rentals in Davos before your lesson.
When is the best time for freeride skiing in Davos?
The freeride season in Davos usually runs from mid-December to early April. For the deepest snow and best powder conditions, January and February are ideal, though March often offers great spring skiing with fewer crowds.
Can snowboarders join your backcountry tours?
Absolutely! We welcome both skiers and snowboarders. Our guides are experienced with mixed groups and will choose terrain that works well for everyone.
How fit do I need to be for backcountry skiing?
A good level of fitness will help you enjoy your day more, especially if there’s hiking involved. That said, many of our freeride zones are lift-accessed, meaning more downhill and less climbing.
How many people are in a freeride group?
For safety and the best experience, we keep our freeride lessons small — usually no more than 6 participants per guide. Private guiding is also available for individuals, families, or groups of friends.
