Cross-country skiing
Hotel Waldhuus Davos
Out the door and onto the trail: That's the motto of the cross-country skiers staying at Hotel Waldhuus. The chalet-style hotel is located directly along the freely usable Davos cross-country ski trail network and right next to the floodlit nighttime cross-country trail. By the way: The cross-country skiing season in Davos already starts around the end of October – thanks to the snow-farming trail at Flüela Valley. In spring, the cross-country trail network can be used until after Easter.
After a wonderful day on cross-country skis, you can relax in one of our cosy rooms and suites or during a visit to the spa.
Good to know: Waldhuus guests benefit from up to 20% discount on rental material at the cross-country ski schools!

Trail network Davos Klosters
While cross-country skiing on the FIS race trails in the Flüela Valley, follow in the footsteps of cross-country skiing legends such as Olympic champion Dario Cologna. With over 100 kilometers of trails for classic-style skiing and 76 kilometers for skating, you can explore the Landwasser Valley, the Sertig Valley, the Dischma Valley, and the Flüela Valley. Meditative hours in unspoiled nature await you. Skiing through forests and along streams, you’ll discover the beauty of Davos’s winter wonderland.
Snowfarming Davos
Snow farming involves preserving snow over the summer months so that it can be used in the fall to build cross-country trails and downhill slopes. To do this, snow is piled up in the spring and covered with sawdust. Over the summer months and into the fall, 70 to 80 percent of the snow volume remains intact. Before the first snow falls, the cross-country ski trail can already be built and used. Regardless of weather conditions, this ensures an earlier start to the season for cross-country skiers.
