Davos enters the Association The Best of The Alps, along with such famous resorts as St. Moritz, Zermatt, Grindelwald, so it definitely worth come here. I can not say that Davos is much better than the remaining resorts of Switzerland, because they are all beautiful and amazing, each of the resorts has its own characteristics. But with confidence I can say that Davos will definitely find how to attract tourists and travelers, because it is a very special place, with a kind of atmosphere, whose riding zones are not united by lifts. This is not a small mountain village, and a full-fledged large city that has peculiar possibilities of the region.
The resort is located in the southeast of the country and belongs to Canton Gubyunden. Davos is considered the most high-mountainous city in Europe and is ready to take visitors all year round, because in addition to skiing and active types of recreation and sports, the resort is able to offer tourists more and many summer types of entertainment and recreation. It may be hiking through the mountains and the surrounding area, as well as a mass of thematic entertainment associated with massive festivities and holidays. In addition, the resort is distinguished by excellent landscapes and beautiful green alpine meadows and plants inherent in this region. Tourists can have fun in hotels and restaurants of the city, as well as attend casinos and make purchases in local stores.
Davos offers excellent opportunities for tourists and travelers, as well as for residents of Switzerland, so the resort is considered so popular and in demand.
In addition, it should come here for stunning skiing, because the Davos zone covers more than 200 kilometers of trails, among which 57 kilometers occupy blue, 109 kilometers occupy red and 43 kilometers occupy black tracks. At the same time, the height difference is from 1194 meters to 2844 meters. The ski season here starts from mid-November and lasts until mid-April. Many seek here precisely because of excellent trails about the beauty of the surrounding area.
Davos and his less famous neighbor Klosters offer six zones of skiing, although their areas are not interconnected by lifts and move among them only on Speecs. Pischa (2483 meters), Jakobshorn (2590 meters) and Rinerhorn (2490 meters) are located on one side of the valley, and the other is Parsenn (2844 meters) and Gotschna (2285 meters), which are already interconnected. Excellent skating offers Madrisa, a height of 2602 meters, which is slightly gone to Klosters. In addition to the beautiful ski areas, Davos offers just amazing places for Freiruda and Freestyle, and the resort's snowparks are considered the best in Switzerland, which speaks of a very high level of the resort.
Tourists who were here once, be sure to come here again, because the resort is considered to be a true paradise for lovers of this kind of rest.
For example, JakobShorn is considered a favorite place of snowboarders. Every year a great park is being built here with Haf Pipes and tramplines, as well as other entertainment. That is why Mountain is called a cheerful mountain (Fun Mountain). By the way, it was Davos who became one of the first resorts, which supported the development of a snowboard, precisely as a new sport.
Madris is suitable for family riding with children, it is also called homemade mountain. On sunny slopes equipped a whole children's world with small lifts and the shortest routes. In addition, there are several children's restaurants and a skiing carousel for children's entertainment. Children here can be left at least for a whole day, because the real specialists will look after them.
The part of Parsennes has high complexity tracks, among which there are even a few black trails, but rather small. The descent is quite steep and enters the longest track of the resort, which ends in cube.
The resort has a large variety of restaurants and cafes that can offer excellent holidays after skiing. The nightlife of the resort is equally diverse, because the city is considered very lively at night. Night clubs and discos are full of people, the most famous DJs come here regularly and a great and very popular casino work.
But, ka and all resorts, Davos has its advantages and disadvantages.
Pros:
- The resort has a system of the most modern lifts. They are ideal for carving and are quite spacious. In addition, the region is considered a universal zone of skiing, it is in the percentage ratio of the tracks;
- The resort has a large number of restaurants, shops, cafes and other types of entertainment;
- This is a great place for snowboarders, because the region is fully equipped for skiing, has excellent snowparks, haf-pales and so on;
- The region is distinguished by unique opportunities for Freeride lovers. With good snow cover, all lovers of extremal descents come here;
- Davos has enough acceptable prices for accommodation and meals.
Minuses:
- The city is considered a fairly unusual place, because the sanatoriums and therapeutic clinics were built on its territory, so instead of the alpine wooden chalets inherent in the rest of Switzerland, you will meet five-storey buildings with flat roofs and balconies, which is quite unusual;
- Some riding zones are equipped with a large number of bougiel lifts that are not very comfortable, while the chair and cabin lifts are considered very comfortable and new;
- Many riding zones are not interconnected, and ski pass is quite expensive;
- There are enough small selection of five-star hotels in comparison with the resorts of Zermatt and St. Moritz. Those hotels that are located in Davos are a bit not reaching the upscale level.
Despite the fact that Davos is considered a fairly fashionable resort, it is possible to find options for recreation for every taste and wallet, because the variety of local institutions is simply impressive. However, given all the advantages and disadvantages of the resort, each tourist makes a certain conclusion for himself, which in the future determines, this resort is suitable for him or not.
