Description Parsenn (Davos Klosters)

From Landquart, the road winds its way over Küblis at 810m (also accessible by ski from Davos), Saas, Mezzaselva, Klosters Dorf, and Klosters, all the way up to Davos at an altitude of 1560m. However, you can already access the Parsenn ski area from Klosters. The Gotschnabahn, an aerial cableway, takes you in just a few minutes via the mid-station Gotschnaboden up to the Gotschnagrat at 2285m, putting you right in the heart of the ski area. On treeless slopes, you can carve your way down intermediate and advanced runs to the detachable Schwarzsee double chairlift and the detachable Gruobenalp quad chairlift. To continue towards Davos, you need to take a connecting trail towards Parsennhütte. From there, you can either take the Kurvenschlepplift up to Seetäli or the two parallel drag lifts up to Parsennfurka. From the top stations of these lifts, you can ski down to Parsennhütte. With a bubble chairlift or the parallel aerial cableway, you can then reach the Weissfluhjoch. A very beautiful, wide, and relatively easy run leads through the Meierhofer Täli down to the detachable quad chairlift of the same name. The challenging run No. 13 continues from the base station of the quad chairlift all the way down to the valley at Wolfgang. The black run 15, starting from Gotschnagrat, also ends in Wolfgang, but mostly follows long connecting trails, and you’ll need to push a bit at the bottom. In Wolfgang, you have connections with the Rhaetian Railway or the bus back to Davos or Klosters.

Other options from the Weissfluhjoch hub include runs through the Dorfitäli and further down to Davos, or taking the aerial cableway up to the Weissfluh summit. From the Weissfluh summit, only advanced runs lead down, and you can ski directly to Parsennhütte, to the Schiferbahn, or even all the way to Küblis and Klosters! The Schiferbahn, a six-person gondola, transports winter sports enthusiasts via the mid-station Obersäss back up to Weissfluhjoch.

The run down to Davos Dorf from Weissfluhjoch to the Höhenweg mid-station is easy to intermediate and has been served by the Parsenn Rapid six-person chairlift with weather protection hoods since the 2000/2001 season. The valley run from the mid-station is challenging and leads into Davos, but unfortunately not directly to the base station of the funicular, so you have to walk a short distance through town.

The runs throughout the area are located above the tree line, with the exception of the valley runs to Davos, Klosters, Küblis, and to the Schiferbahn.

You should always carry a pocket timetable, as trains sometimes only run once an hour. For the runs to Wolfgang, Saas, and Küblis, you also rely on the Rhaetian Railway.
