Jakobshorn (2590m) is one of the five skiing regions of the Davos Klosters Mountains, offering 14 pistes.
Located between the Dishmatal and Sertigtal, it is served by a two-part cable car running from Davos Platz. Once on the mountain there are three chairlifts, one short cable car, and one T-Bar. Since 1995 there has also been a two-person chair-lift, running from near the base station to the near the bottom of Usser Isch.
There are a variety of pistes on Jakobshorn -- blue, red and black -- and Jakobshorn is renowned for being a centre for snowboarding; Bolgen provides an illuminated super pipe.
Pistes are very wide and the area is popular with novice skiers, there are however a number of black terrains for the more adventurous skier. The main two lifts also open during the summer, from July-October, and there are many walks on the Jakobshorn.
Jakobshorn is also a favoured take-off point for hang-gliders and snowkiters.
