"Davos's legendary Jakobshorn party hut at 2,560m — sun terrace, two jacuzzis and a grill. Book it for a team dinner."
The Jatzhütte stands on the Jakobshorn above Davos at 2,560 metres, a short walk from the top station beside the Jatz-Quattro chairlift. It is the mountain's best-known address, as much for its sun terrace as for its kitchen: more than a hundred loungers facing the Graubünden peaks, and two outdoor jacuzzis you can soak in between runs. We feature it in our roundup of the world's best mountain and ski-resort restaurants. For the wider picture, see our Davos dining guide.
This is mountain cooking rather than fine dining, and it knows exactly what it is: grilled and hearty Alpine plates built to refuel a day on the Jakobshorn. Expect rösti, sausages and burgers off the grill, big sharing platters and a daily special, with most mains around CHF 25 to 35. The drink to order is the house "coffee sex", the hut's famous spiked coffee, best taken on a lounger as the music starts. The Jatzhütte is legendary for its parties — the full-moon nights, the Jatzlove festival and the Mungga dance draw a crowd from across the valley. Read our deep dive on the Jatzhütte on the Jakobshorn.
Inside is a cosy timber hut, all warm wood and steamed-up windows, but the terrace is the real room: a vast sun deck of loungers and long tables facing the peaks, with two jacuzzis bubbling at the edge. The sound goes from easy at lunch to full party volume by mid-afternoon when the DJ starts. Lighting is whatever the mountain gives you by day, warm and low at night. Dress is ski gear and sunglasses — there are no rules up here.
Book the Jatzhütte for a team dinner or a group day on the mountain because nothing else on the Jakobshorn matches it for a crowd: a hundred loungers in the sun, two jacuzzis, a grill that feeds everyone fast, and a party that runs from lunch into the evening. The setting at 2,560 metres does the work, the food keeps a big group going, and the music turns a ski day into a night out. Grab a terrace table, order a round of coffee sex, and stay for the DJ.

Not for a quiet, refined meal — the Jatzhütte is a high-altitude party hut with DJs and jacuzzis, loud and boisterous rather than hushed or fine-dining.
Yes, if you want the definitive Jakobshorn experience. At 2,560 metres beside the Jatz-Quattro lift, the Jatzhütte pairs grilled Alpine fare with a hundred-plus-lounger sun terrace, two outdoor jacuzzis and some of the best-known parties in the Alps. It is about the setting and the atmosphere as much as the food, with mains around CHF 25–35. See our Davos dining guide for more.

Take the Jakobshorn cable car from Davos Platz to the top station, then walk a few minutes to the hut beside the Jatz-Quattro chairlift at 2,560 metres — it is ski-in, ski-out in winter. Walk in off the slopes for lunch and après-ski; for the full-moon parties, the Jatzlove festival and other big nights, book the hut directly in advance to be sure of a spot.
Very. With a hundred-plus loungers, long terrace tables, two jacuzzis and a grill that feeds a crowd fast, it is one of the best spots in the Alps for a group ski day or a celebration. The party atmosphere and DJ sets make it a natural for a team trip, though it is not the place for a quiet dinner. Book ahead for big nights. See our team-dinner guide for more.
