Pischa Ski Area Switzerland
Pischa is a small freeride-centric ski area and part of the broader Davos Klosters Ski Region. Connected to Davos by the Pischabus, Pischa has just one cable car, a 100-person capable vintage classic from 1967, serving its 683m of sunny, southwest aspect vertical. With no groomed pistes but about 30km of routes, Pischa is a freeriders wet dream on a powder day with top to bottom runs the 'meal of the day'.
As befits a freeride centric ski area, facilities at Pischa are basic. At the bottom is a car park and lift base. At the top station is the Bergrestaurant Pischa and on the main descent route down on the 2,00m contour is the highly rated Mäderbeiz Pischa restaurant.
The terrain on Pischa rises up to 2,483m altitude. The lower slopes up to around 2,100m altitude are forested and classically semi-rural in nature, before it opens up into wide open alpine zone above. Descents of over 3km are possible but its west to southwest aspect terrain can get roasted by the late day sun.
Before we get there to finally ski it for ourselves, check out the Pischa Ski Trail Map below.
Lift Pass
Pischa has two main ski lift passes. One is the all-inclusive 'Davos Klosters Mountains Regional Ski Pass' which is valid in Pischa. The other is an affordable standalone day pass valid only in Pischa.
there is talk of Pischa being in its last season IF there aren't enough people using the cable car during the winter season. PLEASE BUY A LIFT PASS FOR PISCHA AND SKI HERE!! We don't want to lose it!
