Davos, as I am sure you know, is a world-renowned alpine resort in the Swiss Alps. Sitting at an altitude of 1,560 meters (5, 210 ft), it is a great place for skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer, along with other great activities too – there are a ton of great things to do in Davos.
Its history dates back to the 12th century when it was home to Romansh-speaking people. It was first made famous in the tourism industry in the late 1800s and then later as a world-class ski resort.
Sitting in the Landwasser Valley in the Graubünden canton in eastern Switzerland, it is a stunning alpine retreat. The Landwasser River flows through the town, Lake Davos is at the end of the road, and it is surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks.
