The Swiss ski resort of Davos is one of the oldest resorts in the Alps. Originally a spa town, today Davos is the base for skiers accessing miles of excellent piste. Linked to its more glitzy neighbour of Klosters, a perennial popular with royalty, Davos is a larger town which means that accommodation can be easier to find and therefore cheaper. Less charmingly attractive than Klosters, Davos is extremely lively, with plenty of good shops, restaurants and nightclubs. But skiers who book flights to Davos are not put off by the rather ugly town. They flock to the resort for its excellent red and black slopes and off-piste – a dream for intermediates and advanced skiers.
All Davos flights arrive in at Zurich Airport, from where there is a transfer by road or rail.

Peak season:
The season in Davos is a long one, running from late November to April. During this time cheap flights to Davos and hotels will be harder to find.
Off season:
The earliest and latest weeks of the season are less busy and prices fall during this time. Unlike many ski resorts, Davos truly is a year-round destination as it is such a large town. Conferences are regularly held here.

- The Jakobshorn area has a good combination of excellent skiing and cosy Swiss chalets for that all-important lunch.
- Try cross-country skiing. The cross country skiing world cup is held here, all cross country pistes are free, and there are many types of run, including one where you can take your dog.
- Spend money cheerfully. Lots of shopping, excellent restaurants and a wellness centre where you can relax and unwind while you gaze at the amazing range of Davos mountains may all hit the swiss franc wallet, but it is worth it.
