Holiday in Davos Klosters

What makes Davos Klosters special as a destination?

Davos Klosters is much more than the annual meeting point of the World Economic Forum — the highest city in Europe (1,560m) and its charming neighboring community Klosters together form one of the most versatile alpine destinations in Switzerland. Davos owes its reputation as a spa town to the exceptionally pure mountain air, which already attracted lung patients for recovery in the 19th century — Thomas Mann's novel "The Magic Mountain" is inspired by the sanatoriums of Davos. The ski area includes six mountain lifts with 300 kilometers of slopes, making it one of the largest in Switzerland. Parsenn, the heart of the area, offers one of the longest descents in the Alps: 12 kilometers from Weißfluhjoch (2,844m) down to Küblis, with a vertical drop of 2,000 meters. Jakobshorn is the hotspot for snowboarders and freeriders, while Madrisa near Klosters delights families with gentle slopes and the longest toboggan run in Graubünden. In summer, the region transforms into a hiking paradise with over 700 kilometers of marked trails. The King's Route from Davos over the Strelapass hut is legendary, and the Sertig circular trail leads through one of the most beautiful side valleys of the Alps. Klosters retains its village charm — no wonder it is the preferred ski resort of the British royal family. The Kirchner Foundation in Davos showcases the largest ensemble of works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, who lived here from 1917 to 1938 and transformed the mountain world into expressionist masterpieces. The Eau-là-là adventure pool offers relaxation after a day on the slopes. Davos Klosters combines world politics, cultural history, sporting diversity, and alpine natural beauty — a combination that no other alpine resort offers.
