Intro
The legendary Parsenn Downhill Run is one of the classics of Switzerland. There is virtually unlimited fun in store for seasoned skiers. The track starts at the top of the Weissfluh and runs a full 12 kilometres before ending 2,000 metres lower in Kublis.
The Parsenn area above Davos and Klosters is considered to be the cradle of skiing in Switzerland. The Parsenn Derby held here in 1924 was the country’s first ski race. This classic run starts on the 2,844-metre-high Weissfluh. The route offers plenty of variety: Its upper section takes you to Parsennfurgga across high-Alpine terrain with fantastic views. It then continues on to Schifer on gentler terrain before passing through light mountain forest and then ending in Küblis.
