Snowfarming in Davos

On October 31, 2025, the 20,000 cubic meter pile of snow covered with sawdust will once again be transformed into a four-kilometer-long cross-country ski trail. No wonder: Davos is one of the pioneers in snow farming. By covering it, around 70 to 80 percent of the snow volume is retained. This guarantees an early start to the cross-country skiing season regardless of the temperatures in autumn.

In addition to the Swiss cross-country skiing pros, national teams from over 12 nations train on the snow farming trail in Davos. No wonder, the trail with its climbs and descents is exactly what top cross-country skiers are looking for shortly before the start of the season.

To ensure that both top athletes and amateurs can train satisfactorily on the trail, there are usage times with time slots for all performance groups. We ask that you please observe these. Teams and private individuals can use the snow farming trail. Athletes who want to train competitively during the defined time slots must register online in advance.

Anyone who purchases a performance pass season pass (blue, pink or yellow bib: CHF 60) receives a lanyard number that is color-coded according to their performance level and user group. This is personal and non-transferable and must be worn on the trail. This "bib" (lanyard number) must be returned to the inspectors on site. We charge CHF 50 for "bibs" that are not returned.

• Day pass adults & children: CHF 10

• Season pass adults & children: CHF 60 *

• Swiss cross-country pass is valid

• Davos Klosters season pass with snow farming add-on is valid

Snow farming tickets and day tickets can be purchased online or directly at the cash desk on the snow farming site. Online tickets must be exchanged for colored wristbands or "bibs" at the cash desk on the snow farming site. The colored wristbands must then be worn clearly visible on the left arm.
