SWISS
HOLIDAYS
Davos has an international ambience and is the largest resort in the Alps for mountain holidays, sports and conferences, at 1,560m. It has a long tradition of being one of the world’s original ski resorts and is today one of its largest. It’s set in a high, broad, flat-bottomed valley, with its lifts and slopes either side. Arguably it was the very first place in the Alps to develop its slopes.
Davos is a city committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. They boast proud eco projects, such as the ability to heat the city’s indoor swimming pool by using the waste heat from the cooling units of the ice rinks.

Davos is joined by its ski area with the Royal resort of Klosters and the 2 are often known together as Davos-Klosters. They are based around 7miles away from each other and are very easily assessable by public transport and of course via hiking trails.
In Davos-Klosters you will find some amazing restaurants. They offer and mirror the diverse nature of the international scene that is present. As with many Swiss resorts there are the usual small, fine restaurants, serving typical Grisons specialities, but with over 140 restaurants around, the range extends to all corners of the world. They cater for the wide range of diverse people who visit the area for business conferences and snow sports alike.
Davos is known as the party town of the Alps. With the nature and size of the town this is unsurprising. The nightlife in Davos can rival that of the major urban centres, offering everything from quiet sophisticated wine bars all the way to large discotheques. In great contrast, Klosters offers small but exceptional restaurants, which always impress due to their unique character. There is always something happening in Davos-Klosters at any time of the day. They complement each other in a fantastic way and you can enjoy the benefits of both in some of the most diverse night life in the Alps.
