New Slow Skiing At Davos

The traditional ski region of Schatzalp/Strela at Davos will reopen in December for the winter 2009/10 season after a period of closure.The operators of the Schatzalp funicular wants to offer the area to skiers who prefer their winter sport "slow and easy."
The bottom station of the Schatzalp/Strela ski area is right in the centre of Davos Platz. From there the Schatzalp funicular takes only four minutes to reach Schatzalp, from where the journey to the popular ski area will continue by chairlift and draglift.
The revamped ski area will include two fairly easy pistes and a link from the adjoining Parsenn ski area to the Strela Pass, only negotiable on skis.
The earlier very popular downhill run from Schatzalp to Davos Platz (Guggerbach run) will also be open again, as will the Restaurant Strelapass, which has been carefully renovated.
"Schatzalp/Strela is intended as a place for those who prefer tranquillity tinged with a touch of nostalgia." Said a Davos spokesperson.
