Nostalgia Run on Parsenn

SKIING IN SWITZERLAND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 150 YEARS. ONE OF THE FIRST DOWNHILL ROUTES DISCOVERED FOR SKIING LEADS ON PARSENN FROM THE WEISSFLUH SUMMIT DOWN TO KÜBLIS (12KM).

Following in the footsteps of our ancestors, the 12-kilometre route offers pure downhill fun. The information boards are spread over the entire distance of 12 km and inform about various topics from the beginning of skiing in Davos or on the Parsenn. Depending on the snow conditions the route is passable up to Küblis or up to Schifer.

FAQ's

The most important questions

The Nostalgia Run was located on Parsenn and could therefore be travelled on with a day ticket for the Parsenn area.

On the one hand, the guest had to be able to read and, above all, ski or snowboard. They also had to bring the appropriate snow sports equipment. Then nothing stood in the way of the downhill fun of the Nostalgia Run from the start at the Weissfluh summit to the end in Küblis.

As soon as the Schiferbahn and Gipfelbahn lifts were open at the start of the season, the Nostalgia Run was open for use. Depending on the snow conditions, the route was open as far as Küblis until around mid-March.

As long as all the questions had been answered in full, the competition could be redeemed at both the Parsenn Davos and Parsenn Klosters ticket offices. If all the questions were correct, the competition participant received a small nostalgia gift.

This was of course a surprise and was not revealed.
