About Davos
Davos is the highest town in Europe at 1,560 meters and combines world politics with alpine lifestyle. Known for the World Economic Forum, the place offers much more: 300 kilometers of slopes across six ski areas, a legendary cross-country ski trail, and the largest natural ice rink in Europe. Thomas Mann immortalized the town with his novel "The Magic Mountain." The combination of a sophisticated spa resort atmosphere, athletic excellence, and healthy mountain air makes Davos a unique alpine resort.
