Summer
activities
Davos, Europe's largest mountain
resort, offers an unforgettable natural landscape combined with a vast
array of leisure activities.
Davos has something for everybody. Those who prefer the quiet to the
exciting city life will be pleased by the calmness of the Davos area.
The region of Davos can be
explored on 450 km of well-preserved and marked hiking trails. Whether
you are interested in mountaineering, hiking or strolling on
comfortable walks - in Davos ou will find your personal hiking
paradise.
We call hiking in Davos "Wanderplausch" - the complete
enjoyment of nature and mountains you will find here.
The landscape around Davos and its beautiful meadows, woods, pastures
and above all mountains is accessible by 450 km of signed and
maintained hiking trails.
Comfortable paths for stolling or narrow mountain tracks through steep
terrain above the tree line - delve into the true hiking country!
Explore the old settlements of the Walser, and move through distant
valleys of the Davos region.
Lake
Davos, with its 3.77 km shore, reaches the 20°C mark in summer and
offers many possibilities for water sport enthusiasts. The open-air
swimming pool provides additional refreshment.
Be it sailing, surfing, swimming, diving, fishing, or simply splashing
around - in Davos, you do not only have the mountains but water to
boot.
Spend your
holidays in the mountains and dally in beach activities and
relaxation. The Water Sports Centre provides a recreation lawn,
restaurant, sun terrace, volleyball field and all the equipment for
water sports. Tel. +41 (0)81 416 15 05
Trial courses or individual lessons. Yachts and yawls for
hire. You may even make the Swiss (D category) or international
sailing licence. Open season from mid June to approximately the end of
August.
Feel the mountain breeze in your sail. Trial courses,
individual and group lessons are available to adolescents and adults
from late June to late August.
Under expert guidance you will literally surf down the
river yourself as you hold on to your hydrospeed. What better way to
immerse yourself in the water element?
Follow a clear mountain brook down cliffs, along deep and
narrow beds and through deep forests until you reach the valley and
discover a New World!
As
mentioned earlier, the
village is divided into two parts, Davos Dorf and Davos Platz. The
latter boasts the magnificent Schatzalp with its extensive
intermediate skiing area and its connection to the Parsenn. The Jakobshorn lift is just a short walk away. The Parsenn is more
toward the "dorf" end of town, while the other areas are
reachec by some sort of wheeled transport. They are very short
rides away.
Our
advice, if you can ski at all, is to buy an all area pass and sample
the lot. You'll
enjoy the diversity of the skiing terrain, and the normally good snow
conditions found at these altitudes.
Lift
pass prices are as varied as the terrain, and the combinations are too
numerous to mention here. There is also a big bonus for those of you
who opt for the all-encompassing pass.
This ticket includes all of the skiing to and in the village of
Klosters.
Cross country skiers will get a kick and glide out of Davos
as high altitude trails are ideal for the purpose. Davos too, is a
major snowboarder's hangout, and,
to encourage them,
the resort has provided not only first class, specially
prepared areas, but world class snowboard events too.
When
the sun goes down in Davos, the neon lights take over. There is a
large selection of night spots with an equally large variation of
atmospheres and prices.
