About ski lessons in Davos
Most people learning in Davos start on the Bolgen slope at the edge of town, a broad, gentle hill that is easy to reach and rarely intimidating. From there the area opens onto six mountains, with the Parsenn known for long cruising runs and the Jakobshorn for freeride and parks. Heights range from about 1,560 m in the valley to 2,844 m up top, so there is room for a complete beginner and an expert on the same trip. Klosters shares the same lift area if you prefer a quieter base.
