Gotschnagrat, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Gotschnagrat is a mountain summit in the Plessur Alps at 2281 meters, located between the Davos and Klosters regions. The slopes form the core of a large ski area connected by cable cars and funiculars that serve winter visitors.
English mountaineers discovered ski routes on the mountain more than 125 years ago and helped establish Alpine skiing as a sport. This early exploration turned the area into a center for winter sports development.
The Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research operates on the slopes and uses data collected here to understand Alpine weather patterns and safety. Local guides share knowledge about mountain conditions with visitors during winter, making scientific observation part of the everyday experience.
The summit is accessible by the Parsenn funicular or Gotschna cable car, both operating from November through April during winter season. Visitors should prepare for alpine conditions and bring appropriate gear for mountain weather.
The 3-Bahnentour is a guided ski experience that connects multiple valleys through linked terrain with fresh snow. Local guides lead skiers across this route, which is considered one of the region's signature adventures.
