The world elite among the cross-country skiers converges at the starting point every year to commemorate the Davos Nordic. Cross-country skiing at the FIS racing tracks in Flüelatal, where even Dario Cologna & Co compete for world cup points. Or you can leave your imprint along the romantic tributary valleys. You haven’t had enough? Get to the night cross-country ski-run. And the best is: Cross-country skiing at Davos is free! There are no vignette obligations for cross-country skiing.

The trail network in Davos Klosters encompasses over 100 km of classic trails and 75 km of skating trails across all difficulty ratings. They all have one thing in common: They are superbly well prepared. Furthermore, in Davos special dog trails can also be found along the Landwasser.

Dog owners know only too well that their four-legged friend likes to romp in snow. Often, however, dogs are not seen or even undesirable on cross-country skiing trails. Unlike in Davos, there are three specially marked dog trails:

• Bolgen – Islen
• Islen – Frauenkirch
• Frauenkirch – Ara Gadenstatt

Dogs are allowed to accompany their owners on a total of 18.5 km of trails. It doesn’t matter if the dogs leave a few paw prints in the tracks. The only rule: please take into account other cross-country skiers so that the shared use of the cross-country skiing trails remains a pleasant experience for all.

At the Davos Cross-Country Ski Centre there is a special trail called “Herzloipe”. This is a short, flat circuit – especially for cross-country ski beginners and all those who want to strengthen their heart.

A short, signalled circuit without climbs, external defibrillators for emergencies and a good infrastructure on site: The Herzloipe trail at the Cross-Country Ski Centre Davos makes it easier for heart patients and beginners to get into cross-country skiing. 

Ten heart tracks throughout Switzerland

These special Herzloipen have been in existence since 2015 in Switzerland and the network of cross-country ski trails has been continuously expanded since then: With the Davos route, there are now a total of ten special cross-country ski trails. In Davos, the Herz-Reha, the community, the Davos Cross-Country Ski School, the cross-country skiing centre, Hofmänner Sport, the Swiss Heart Foundation and the Davos Klosters destination work closely together – and together with the Herzloipe offer a coordinated programme. Good to know: A visit to the Herzloipe is free of charge – as with all cross-country trails in Davos Klosters.
