Davos
The resort of Davos is divided into two areas – Davos Platz and Davos Dorf, linked by a main street lined with cafes, shops, boutiques and hotels. There are six main ski resorts spread out on either side of Davos including the famous Parsenn Davos Klosters. The resort has an excellent lift system and reliable snow conditions throughout its long season. The area is famous for having one of the longest runs in Europe and there is something for all winter sports enthusiasts: carvers, free riders, snowboarders and those who want to take things just a little easier.
Why Davos
Davos is one of the highest altitude towns in Europe and the town sits at 1560 meters.
If you love to ice skate then Davos has the largest natural ice skating rink in Europe. The rink is the equivalent size to about three American football fields.
Davos is a year round town therefore offers plenty of activities for the non-skier with lots of shops, theatres, museums and if you’re thirsty you can even have a beer at Europe’s highest brewery, Biervision Monstein.
