Davos is an Alpine resort town and a municipality in the Prättigau/Davos Region in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. It has a permanent population of 10,832 (2020). Davos is located on the river Landwasser, in the Rhaetian Alps, between the Plessur and Albula Ranges.
The municipality covers nearly the entire valley of the Landwasser, and the center of population, economic activity, and administration is two adjacent villages: Davos Dorf (German: Davos Village) and Davos Platz (Davos Place), at 1,560 m (5,120 ft) above sea level.
Gaining prominence in the 19th century as a mountain health resort, Davos is perhaps best known today for hosting the World Economic Forum—often referred to simply as “Davos”—an annual meeting of global political and corporate leaders. With a long history of winter sport, Davos also has one of Switzerland’s largest ski resorts, and hosts the international Spengler Cup ice hockey tournament each December.
At 1,560m Davos is one of the highest Alpine resorts in Europe. Davos has four separate ski areas: large Parsenn, boarders’ Mecca Jakobshorn and quieter Rinerhorn and Pischa.
Jakobshorn – this is the most recommended skiing area
Two consecutive cable cars whisk you to the 2,590m summit of the Jakobshorn, a Mecca for snowboarders with its half-pipes and boarder’s hotel, the Bolgenschanze. Its central location, just behind the Davos Platz railway station, also makes it a popular choice with skiers, especially after skiing.
Rinerhorn
The Rinerhorn lies at the most southerly extent of the Davos region and is reached by car (free parking), bus or train to Glaris. On first inspection it seems to be a limited one-cable-car-and-four-T-bar area, but in reality, it has some great descents and because of the trees it can be a good option in bad weather. Often mid-week both Rinerhorn and Pischa are deserted.
Pischa
Davos’ fourth ski area, Pischa, is a ten-minute drive up the Flüelatal valley and is reached by bus or car (free parking). It faces due south and is often a good bet in the morning. The wide open red and blue runs are wonderful for cruising, while the Mittel run is sculpted with a series of jumps and bumps which at quiet times is great at pace.
