Family holidays in Winter
Are you ready for a picture-book winter excursion with your family? Taking the cable car up the mountain, swooshing down wide slopes – snow-covered summits wherever you look – and great practice areas where kids can learn how to ski … Or how about sledging or snowshoeing in the Grison mountains while spending quality time as a family? The choice is yours in Davos Klosters Mountains.
The ski resorts of Davos Klosters Mountains and families – those two go together like cookies and cream! On sunny slopes surrounded by stunning scenic views, little and grown-up winter sports enthusiasts can swoosh down the mountain and fuel up for new adventures at cosy Alpine huts. That’s holiday joy at its best – for tiny snow bunnies and seasoned skiers!

Kids areas, practice runs and ski schools give mini-skiers the opportunity to familiarise themselves with winter sports. Adults can look forward to first-rate slope conditions in high-alpine terrain. 57 lifts and 253 kilometres of slopes provide a perfect setting for countless adventures in the snow.

What’s more, guests can savour a tasty fondue or Grisons specialities at the mountain restaurants after their moonshine adventures.
Bolgen Areal
On Bolgen at the foot of the Jakobshorn, winter sports have been playing a special role for more than 150 years already. That’s where the world’s first ski lift was built. At this same lift, kids practice their turns on the slopes today. The adventure of the dragon Flurin on the Kids Slope also takes place on the Bolgen.
The entire area can be reached on foot, and it’s the perfect location for a family excursion. From a magic carpet (conveyor belt) to practice runs, Kids Slope, ski schools and restaurants, it offers everything you and your little ones need for a great ski day.
It is ideal for families, as the children can practise their first turns here and the parents can relax comfortably on the terrace of the Bolgen Plaza. So everyone gets the best out of it!
Sledging fun
Ready, steady – and off you go down the sledging run!
What’s an absolute must-do while on winter holiday with your family? Going sledging, of course! By day or by night: As soon as you plop down on a sledge, you need to hold on tight – because you’re right on the verge of experiencing a speedy, action-packed ride! The absolute highlight for sledging fans is the thrilling run on Rinerhorn. Banked turns and a length of three kilometres ensure you’ll arrive at the bottom of the run with rosy cheeks and a wide smile on your face.
Or how about airboarding on Pischa? Sounds interesting?
Snowshoe hiking
Little and grown-up winter sports enthusiasts can also experience magical moments off the slopes on Jakobshorn or on Pischa. Equipped with snowshoes, you can slowly make your way up to higher altitudes along mountain ridges – including a tasty meal at one of the huts to refuel for the next stage of your hike. Snowshoeing is a perfect winter adventure that lets you spend quality time with your little ones.
Family holidays in summer
In summer, it’s all about being outdoors in nature – and enjoying the peace and quiet of the mountains with your loved ones. That’s what makes Davos Klosters a wonderful location for family holidays. Whether you ride kick scooters together, explore the diverse hiking trails – many of them suitable for baby buggies and prams – or plop down for a picknick at several thousand metres above sea level: You’ll experience countless moments worthy of making it into the family album!
