Conquering the highest peak at Davos

Today, we took two funiculars and a cable car to reach the highest peak in Davos. The Parsenn area consists of over 30 ski runs with the longest, a 12km trail, that ends in Klosters. In fact, the first ski race in Switzerland's history, the Parsenn Derby, was made on this ski run. To get to the first stop on the journey, Weissflujoch, you need to take two funiculars to cover the distance.
