Wat te doen in Davos

Davos Essentials

Davos combines high-altitude Alpine scenery with significant cultural landmarks. This selection features the 13th-century St. Johann Church and the Kirchner Museum, dedicated to Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Natural highlights include the 54-meter-deep Lake Davos and the glacial Sertig Valley. The town’s heritage as a winter sports pioneer is preserved in the Winter Sports Museum and the Vaillant Arena, home to HC Davos. High-altitude destinations like the Jakobshorn and the historic Berghotel Schatzalp, which inspired Thomas Mann’s literature, offer views across the Albula Alps.
