Resort Profile For Davos
A bit different - a cosmopolitan city surrounded by a large and varied ski area
Davos in Switzerland provides a different dimension to most ski holidays. Whilst the ski area is vast, varied and easily accessible, it is unmistakably a city rather than a ski resort. Some may love it, others will hate it. This said, Davos is quite an attractive city, with plenty of good quality bars, restaurants and accommodation. It also has a huge amount to do for non-skiers.
The ski area is vast, with 300km of pistes across five mountains. There is something for everyone, however, be prepared for a lot of commuting between the five ski areas.
Resort Pros
- Variety and extent of the ski area.
- Spectacular scenery.
- Plenty to do off-slope.
- Great snowboarding and freeride terrain parks.
Resort Cons
- The ski area covers 5 mountains so you can spend a lot of time on lifts, busses and trains.
- Feels like a small city rather than a ski resort.
- The only return run in to the resort is Black.
Best For
- Mixed groups.
- Families.
- Non Skiers.
- Snowboarders.
Worst For
- Those looking for alpine charm.
SlopeSeeker Tips
Make sure you ski the whole area but make sure you have bus and train timetables to hand.
