For advanced ski and snowboard enthusiasts, there is hardly anything more inspiring than a drive through still completely untouched snow away from the full slopes! The biggest secret lies in choosing the right area for a safe descent. Depending on the weather and time, different locations are possible. It always pays off to know the rather unknown areas in particular, in order to be sure to make the first track in the powder snow.
Trust in one of our experienced freeride and off-piste guides from Ride and Smile so that you can fully concentrate on the experience. We are very familiar with the region and, as your guide, take care of the entire route plan for you, including information on which lift is the easiest to get to the starting point. Of course, we also cater to your wishes and preferences.
One of the most important criteria in freeride and off-piste is that safety is always guaranteed on the descent. Therefore, it is important to correctly assess the weather and snow conditions in order not to expose yourself to the risk of avalanches. On the other hand, you also need the right equipment and technology to get down securely.
With one of our specialized off-piste guides from Ride and Smile you are on the safe side in every view. We only take you to areas that have already been tested and are also at your side with valuable tips regarding your equipment and driving technique. That is how we guarantee that you can fully enjoy the tour without having to worry about the various details.
Have you already mastered the basics of snowboarding? Then, we will show you how you can hone your technique and also accompany you away from the groomed slopes. When freeriding, you can look forward to untouched deep snow, steep slopes and long descents. Our snowboard guides take you to the best off-piste routes in the region and, thanks to intensive planning, ensure the necessary safety in advance.
For ski touring , we also recommend so-called splitboards – snowboards that can be separated vertically into two parts. Like skis, they can be used to hike uphill. Learn how to handle a splitboard correctly and look forward to your next great adventure!
In Davos Klosters you benefit from plenty of options for freeride and off-piste skiing and snowboarding – whether you are a beginner or professional. There are six ski areas offering various possibilities for a breathtaking ride. Very popular is, for instance, the Madrisa round tour with a visit in Austria or the Davos-Arosa-Lenzerheide tour.
Thanks to the great public transportation network, you also will have easy access to get to your departure point, starting from one of the local ski resorts, for example. Another great advantage is that here you have a snow guarantee usually until spring. Enough time to really enjoy a fantastic freeride and off-piste experience in this beautiful place of Switzerland!
Be prepared for an unforgettable day with one of our freeride and off-piste guides from Ride and Smile!

Danke, gerne wieder!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Eric Phipps2023-07-19I spent 2.5 days mountain biking with Manuel from Ride and Smile in the Davos-Klosters area in late June, 2023. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend them. For anyone visiting this area, I strongly recommend hiring a guide as there is so much terrain to explore and hidden trails that only an experienced guide like Manuel knows about. We rode all over the Davos-Klosters area, mostly on single track trails, from mountain top peaks, to high alpine valleys, to stunning gorges. We also visited several, centuries old villages. I also strongly recommend an e-bike as we were able to explore so much more terrain than would be possible with human power alone. I really enjoyed riding with Manuel and he did a great job matching our rides to my ability level and interests.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Daniel Bircher2023-07-11Ride and Smile hatte eine grosse Herausforderung zu bewältigen!

I had 3 days of guiding for me and my family this week in Davos with 3 separate guides, for off-piste skiing, touring on skins, and snowshoeing. On one of the trips I lost a ski over a cliff, and our guide Lucas climbed down to find it! Manuel himself provided some excellent tips to improve my ski technique on our second trip, and Paolo gave us excellent information about the surroundings for our snowshoeing. The team's professionalism, expertise, patience and friendliness were a great pleasure - both before our visit (to find ski rentals, resort logistics, help with planning for the weather etc etc), and during the tours themselves. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Cate Gianni2023-02-11Ride and Smile Ski School in Davos - I had a fantastic time skiing with Manuel from Ride and Smile!

Bei wunderbarem Wetter durften wir unvergessliche Tage geniessen. Es hat gepasst. Besten Dank Manuel und weiterhin viel Erfolg!VerifiedKen2023-02-19Amazing snowboarding progress in just 3 days! Thoroughly recommended!!! Matteo was brilliant, even before the snowboarding lessons began, from providing a recommendation on the type of beginner board to rent, to thoughtfully suggesting my girls have their first lesson at the base of Jakobshorn/Davos, rather than battle the t-bar at Madrisa/Klosters (which is what I did two decades ago and enough to put off any beginner snowboarder for life!) As for the lessons, the results speak for themselves: towards the end of day three's lesson, they successfully navigated a black run! Equally important in my book is the way a lesson is taught (I joined for a morning). Matteo's enthusiasm is infectious and speaks to his teaching style. He takes things very steadily. The focus is on staying in control, and laying strong foundations (which speaks to his training as a professional fencer!) Regarding the admin side of things, faultless.Verifiedheko2023-02-09Top Skischule und Freeride/Tourernguide Top Skischule und Freeride/Tourernguide Firma in der Region Davos/Klosters.
