Biking in Davos Klosters

Completing the Bahnentour in one day is only something for very athletic riders. The 10,000 metres of difference in altitude and almost 100 kilometres of single tracks can also be spread out over the course of several days. So you can take your time to enjoy the fantastic mountain world of Davos Klosters.

In order to get onto the summits as quickly as possible and enjoy the flow experience down to the valley to the fullest, the cable cars and lifts of Davos Klosters Mountains will gladly help you out. That way you can focus on pure downhill fun in the mountains. But keep in mind: For most of the trails, you need to have some biking experience.

The Bahnentour is as flexible as the requirements of individual bikers – because the tour can be adapted, extended or shortened based on your own taste and level of skill. So, every biker is bound to find the perfect Bahnentour – promise!

If you want to improve your biking skills, you’ll have to continuously work on your riding technique. And the Technique Trail on Jakobshorn is perfect for this. The start of the trail is halfway downhill from the Jakobshorn mountain station to the intermediate station. The second part starts below the Jschalp intermediate station and leads you down into the valley.

The Technique Trail is open from mid-June to mid-October and can easily be reached by taking the Jakobshorn cable car. On the first section, bikers enjoy breathtaking views of the Grison mountains. On the second section from Jschalp, which partly follows the cable car’s route, you’ll have a beautiful view of Davos. From then on, the route takes you partly through the forest where you’ll find various “technique stations” with special info boards and videos (QR Code).

By the way: The trail is not just something for seasoned bike pros who want to have some flowy fun on waves and small jumps. It’s also suitable for beginners and families.

The starting point of this route is the Parsenn funicular mountain station on Weissfluhjoch. From there, a single track leads you to Strela Pass across the spectacular “rock trail” – a section of rough terrain with lots of rocks. Once you reach the mountain pass, you’ll have to take a short break to breathe in some fresh Alpine air and enjoy the beautiful scenic views of the surrounding mountains. On one side, you can see Davos and Landwasser Valley – on the other side, you can see Sapün and the neighbouring holiday resort of Arosa Lenzerheide. From Strela Pass, the trail now follows the scenic route below the avalanche barrier of Schiahorn. From this point, Lake Davos can be admired along the entire length of the trail. The scenic trail continues to Höhenweg restaurant. From there, you’ll head back down into the valley, choosing one of several trails in various levels of difficulty.

This route is great for beginners or for a short tour after work – because, of course, you can also take the Parsenn funicular to get back down to the valley.

The Gotschna Freeride route is a bike freeride adventure of the exceptional kind. Every seasoned biker who visits Davos should give this route highlight a try.

The five-kilometre-long route leads from the Gotschnaboden station (which can be reached with the first section of the Gotschna cable car) down to Klosters. The demanding route is only something for experienced riders and die-hard downhillers – but those will experience tons of flowy fun. Banked turns, jumps and tables of different heights lure adrenalin junkies up into the mountains time and again.

The trail is open from the end of June to mid-October. During this time, the Gotschna cable car on Parsenn is also open for passenger and bike transport.
