Snowboarding in Davos
Davos is one of the world’s leading snowboarding destinations. The world snowboard guide gives it 10 out of 10 and Davos received its ‘best of the alps’ a few years ago alongside only 4 others in Europe and we know exactly why….
Davos has five snowboarding hotels, four terrain parks, 2 super pipes and easy access to the most amazing back coutry riding that Europe has to offer, ask big mountain rider Jeremy Jones, who test his new line of ‘Jones’ boards here, for proof! Davos has held the Snowboarding World Championships recently and stages World Pro Tour events such as the O’Neil Evolution 6star TTR Quarter/Half pipe contests. It has officially joined the top world snowboard resorts club and needs to be seen to be believed.
The best boarding area on the mountain is on Jakobshorn where there is a new park with plenty of rails, boxes, kickers from small to wow! And a half pipe that gets cut EVERY NIGHT! There is a second area at the bottom of Jakobshorn at Bolgen where there’s is another Super pipe (220m long, 5.5m high, 18m wide at a 17 degree pitch.
There are more fun parks on Parsenn, Pischa, Madrisa and Rinerhorn plus 2 boarder cross circuits on Parsenn and a speed trap that gives you an immediate read out of your top speed (Donnie has the record at 103 Kph). It doesn’t get any better than a Snowboarding holiday in Davos, book your holiday now.
