Davos Switzerland

Davos is a municipality in the district of Prättigau/Davos in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland.

It is located on the Landwasser River, in the Swiss Alps, between the Plessur and Albula Range. At 1,560 metres it is the highest city in Europe.

Davos has a dual claim to fame as the host to the World Economic Forum, an annual meeting of global political and business elites, and the home of the largest ski resort in Switzerland, serving as the site of the annual Spengler Cup ice hockey tournament, hosted by the HC Davos local hockey team.

Located between the Dishmatal and Sertigtal, it is served by a two-part cable car running from Davos Platz. Jakobshorn is also a favoured take-off point for hang-gliders and snowkiters.
