The Vertical Davos – that's 1,000 meters of elevation gain from the base of Jakobshorn to the summit. The route offers both top athletes and hobby runners a varied trail running adventure.
The starting point is Bolgenplaza at the valley station of the Jakobshornbahn. On the wider path, you go through the Mattawald to the middle station Jschalp. From there, it continues on a narrower trail uphill to the summit of Jakobshorn.
Once you reach the Jakobshorn mountain station, you can enjoy the unique panorama and a refreshment at the Sun Peak restaurant before comfortably descending by the Jakobshornbahn back to the valley.
