Davos

Davos
Davos, located in eastern Switzerland at around 1,560 meters above sea level, is famous as both a winter sports paradise and the home of the World Economic Forum where global leaders gather annually to discuss international policies.
The town offers impressive panoramic views of the Swiss Alps with pristine snowfields in winter and lush green valleys in summer. It boasts a rich history as a health resort since the 19th century when it became known for its clean mountain air that helped tuberculosis patients recover. Today, this dual identity as both an elite policy hub and outdoor playground creates a unique atmosphere.
Beyond the slopes and conference halls, Davos has a fascinating cultural scene. The Kirchner Museum showcases works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, who lived in Davos and captured its landscapes in his expressionist paintings. The town also features charming Alpine architecture mixed with modern buildings. Its blend of traditional Swiss charm and international sophistication makes it stand out from other Alpine destinations.
Davos offers exceptional infrastructure with high-quality hotels, restaurants serving both Swiss specialties and international cuisine, and excellent transport connections. During summer, the area transforms into a hiking and mountain biking destination with hundreds of kilometers of marked trails through stunning mountain landscapes.
