Davos Klosters provides a very good and well structured website at http://bike-davos.ch. You will find all the information you need.

Since the 80s, bikers have been able to ride on all hiking trails. Nowadays, all mountain lifts transport bikes and the "Share the trails" code applies to over 1,500 km of trails. Easy bikers and families will find well-developed cycling trails alongside mountain streams and through rugged and romantic side valleys. And so that your electric bike never runs out of power, there is an extensive network of battery-charging points. The Gotschna freeride piste guarantees thrills galore. And those who master the 'Bahnentour' will experience the longest downhill run with over 10,000 metres of altitude difference. It’s with good reason that as early as 1933, the very first stage of the Tour the Suisse led from Zurich to Davos. Our mountains and valleys provide the perfect terrain for biking and Davos Klosters offers an urban quality after a long and enjoyable ride.
Davos is also claiming to offer a uniquie vertical day adventure with their Bahnentor. More at:
