Linked terrain

Only the Parsenn connects Davos to Klosters on snow. The other mountains — Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn, Pischa, Madrisa — are separate, reached by bus or train on the pass, so plan one mountain a day.

Trend · 76 winters

The snow has held. The air has not.

Klosters's typical base has sat near 104cm since 1950, and a good winter still beats a bad one by 130cm, far more than any decade here differs from another. The winter freezing level has climbed 43m a decade.

Calibrated reanalysis, 1950–2025. Bars are each winter's mean base, rules each decade's mean. 2020–2025 holds 6 winters, not ten. Every figure here averages a full season, so none of them will match the readings for your chosen weeks above.

Method & sources

We weigh snow reliability against this resort's own history, add live conditions where we have them, then adjust for how hard the trip is for your group.
