Davos-Klosters

Green through black (UK/Euro system on Trailforks); mostly red/natural technical singletrack. Bikepark Davos Farich and Jakobshorn Technique Trail add graded skills terrain; Gotschna Freeride is an A-Line freeride piste.

Group split: beginners/kids use Farich Bikepark, pumptrack and Jakobshorn Technique Trail; intermediates ride marked flow/enduro loops; experts tackle Gotschna Freeride (A-Line) and long enduro descents. Uplift on Parsenn/Gotschna, Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn and Madrisa lets groups pick descent-only options and regroup at stations; Bikeshuttle taxi for point-to-point.

Excellent for mixed groups and multi-day trips - beginners in Farich bikepark/valley trails, families on flow, experts on enduro and freeride; lifts within approx 15 min of bike hotels. Skills courses available.

Mostly natural alpine singletrack (flowing to rocky/blocky), forest and pasture trails; some machine-built freeride/bikepark features (Gotschna A-Line, Farich). Shared with hikers.

Predominantly natural alpine singletrack 'from flowing to blocky/rocky' rather than manicured berms; high-alpine exposure on ridge trails, roots, rock steps and off-camber sections. Gotschna Freeride adds tables, banked turns and jumps.

Marked/signed MTB tour network across the region; strong Trailforks coverage. 'Share the trail' signage - obey trail-status signs. Downloadable GPX/regional trail map recommended for the large network.

Trails shared with hikers under a 'share the trail' ethos; busier near lift stations and Davos in July-August, but the 700 km network disperses riders and solitude is easy to find on remote enduro loops.

Bike/lift season runs approx end of May to mid-October; high-alpine trails snow-free roughly late June to October.

Summer to early autumn; peak riding June-September.
