    Snowfarming is part of snow management. Since 2008 in Davos, a pile of snow is covered with sawdust every spring. This snow is used in autumn for preparing a cross-country skiing trail before new snow can be produced. Covering the snow preserves about 70-80% of the snow volume. This ensures an early season start independent of autumn temperatures.

    The 4 km long Snowfarming trail is open again from Saturday, October 31, 2020. It can be used equally by athletes and amateurs.

    Tips and suggestions

    Since snowfarming involves a lot of effort and costs, these must be covered through usage fees.

    Monthly pass: Users who have purchased the monthly subscription receive a badge marked in colors according to the operational and usage regulations. The badge is personal, non-transferable, and must be worn during use of the trail. Cost: CHF 40.00

    Purchase: On site from the Snowfarming facility staff or at the office of the municipal utilities of Davos

    Day tickets: Cost: CHF 7.50 during the week / CHF 10.00 on weekends

    Purchase: Day tickets can be purchased directly at the Snowfarming site by inserting money into a parking meter. The operator reserves the right to use colored wristbands on busy days.
