The morning air in Davos bites bright and clean as you step onto the ridge above town, sled in hand and the valley falling away beneath a sweep of white. Trails curve through silvered pines; the prepared run down from Schatzalp unfurls 2.8 km and 18 turns, inviting a steady, confident descent, while higher up Rinerhorn offers a tighter 3.5 km run with 33 bends for riders chasing speed.
Davos has been a winter sports hub since the 19th century, its high alpine basin shaped by glacial action and the motion of the Alps. The sledging tradition here sits beside a larger ski culture and the historic Schatzalp Sanatorium, whose path to Davos Platz became a classic family-friendly route. Locals know the woods hold sheltering wind corridors and sun pockets—choose your line accordingly.
Expect an instructor-led session that covers basic steering, safe braking and photos at scenic pullouts. Runs are groomed and graded; instructors will usually start guests on Schatzalp’s forgiving slope before attempting the steeper Rinerhorn circuit. Practicalities: wear waterproof boots and layered insulation, bring goggles and a helmet for children, and allow 3–12 hours depending on transfers from Zurich or Lucerne and how many runs you take.
Timing matters—midday brings softer snow in bright sun, early morning keeps ice firmer. The guides handle logistics and pickups; you bring curiosity and balance. This tour delivers fast, accessible alpine sledging with mountain scenery and the kind of crisp silence that seems to push you forward down every curve.
