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 matter. 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. Something a lot more resorts could learn from.
Welcome to Davos, an extraordinary resort nestled amidst the breathtaking Swiss Alps. With its majestic mountain peaks, pristine alpine landscapes, and a wealth of exhilarating activities, Davos offers an unforgettable experience for travelers seeking both natural beauty and thrilling adventures. From world-class skiing and snowboarding in winter to hiking, biking, and exploring in the warmer months, Davos is a year-round destination that captivates the hearts of outdoor enthusiasts. Immerse yourself in the stunning surroundings, indulge in authentic Swiss hospitality, and create memories that will last a lifetime in the enchanting resort of Davos.
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 during the evenings and of course via the ski pistes during the days.
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.
Davos is a great winter sports area for skiing and snowboarding fans from all over the world. At altitudes between 1,124m and 2,844m there are around 58 ski lifts all giving you access to a huge area of 320km of slopes. The seven Davos-Klosters skiing areas of Parsenn, Gotschna, Jakobshorn, Pischa, Madrisa, Rinerhorn and Schatzalp/Strela have been brought together into one vast winter sports arena. For the hardcore skiers, the best areas are Parsenn and Weissfluhjoch which connect up with the neighbouring resort of Klosters. The Jakobshorn, on the other hand, is the in-place for snowboarders, as it boasts a well groomed half-pipe and a monster pipe.
The Gotschnabahn cable car takes you up into the Davos ski area. The smaller, sunny Madrisa ski region above Klosters is also great for beginner skiers.
Non-skiers can access the miles of winter walking paths, horse-drawn sled rides, 3 toboggan runs and snow-shoe trekking. There is also 75km of cross-country ski tracks, two artificial ice-skating rinks and Europe’s largest natural ice rink for people to skate or play curling on.
