Davos, the highest city in Europe, is renowned for its sports, leisure, and cultural activities, healing climate, HC Davos, Kirchner Museum, World Economic Forum, and the astonishing view on Jakobshorn. Its healing climate, known for 150 years, attracted spa guests since 1860. German doctor Alexander Spengler's treatment for lung patients, involving sleep on sun terraces and Veltliner wine, made Davos famous, inspiring Thomas Mann's 1924 novel "The Magic Mountain."
Davos offers unique leisure opportunities in summer and winter, excellent meeting infrastructure, renowned sports and cultural events, museums, galleries, and music festivals. Its alpine flat roof architecture and the architecturally interesting Davos Ice Stadium (1981) add to its charm. Excellent hotels, restaurants, and shopping enhance its appeal. Since 2025 Davos is the hub of the Landwasser World.
