Jakobshorn (2,590 m) rises directly above the Davos Platz side of town and is the snowboarder's mountain — with terrain parks, half-pipes, and free-ride zones that attract a younger, more energetic crowd than the stately Parsenn opposite. For skiers, the pistes are steeper and more technical than the gentle Parsenn cruisers. Night skiing runs here on certain evenings in winter.
In summer, the Jakobshorn is a paragliding launch site and mountain biking hub. The ridge walk from the summit toward Schatzalp offers excellent views down both sides of the valley. The cable car from Davos Platz operates in both winter and summer; the 20-minute ride gives a dramatic perspective on the town's scale and the surrounding mountain panorama.
