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.
