Guests from all over
the world fall under the spell of this famous Swiss mountain
resort. Davos is diverse: a holiday, sports, congress, health,
research and culture centre rolled into one! Davos is ideal for
an active holiday in a magnificent Alpine setting, with almost
every type of summer and winter sport on offer. The Swiss Alpine
Marathon and the Spengler Cup (ice hockey tournament) are just
two major attractions on an impressive sporting programme. The
town has firmly established itself as a successful international
congress venue – the World Economic Forum being the highlight –
despite its slightly out-of-the-way location. Davos has remained
true to its health resort roots with many highly specialized
clinics and four world-renowned research institutes. The town
also offers a colourful cultural palette. The Davos Festival
“Young Artists in Concert” attracts talented young musicians
from all over the world. The Kirchner Museum, the most famous of
the resort’s six museums, enjoys international acclaim. Davos is
reached by road or rail from Zurich in about 2 ½ hours.
