Villas in Davos
Davos suits keen skiers who want the five Davos Klosters ski areas and a funicular from Davos Dorf. Most homes are one or two-bedroom apartments for about four. The trade-off is scale and dates: this is a town of over 10,000, and the World Economic Forum takes over in late January.

About Davos
Davos is a full town of about 10,800 people at around 1,560 metres on the Landwasser river, built around two centres, Davos Dorf and Davos Platz, both with Rhaetian Railway stations. It made its name from the mid-1800s as a resort for patients with lung disease, and one of its sanatoriums inspired Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain. The homes we list are mostly apartments within about two kilometres of the centre, and a fair number have a garden. The Parsennbahn funicular climbs from Dorf to the Weissfluhjoch, the Jakobshorn cable car runs via the Ischalp, and Rinerhorn, Pischa and Madrisa make up the rest. Lake Davos, just north of the town, is a reliable spot for sailing and windsurfing in summer.

The Albula line's 65 metre high viaduct between Schmitten and Filisur, running straight into a tunnel at one end.

Getting to Davos
Zurich is the usual airport, about 148 km and around two hours by car via the A3 and A13 to Landquart, then up the Prättigau. By train from Zurich, change at Landquart onto the Rhaetian Railway; the trip takes about two and a half hours. Trains stop at both Davos Dorf and Davos Platz.
When to go to Davos
Winter dates matter more here than in most resorts. The Spengler Cup, often cited as the oldest invitational ice hockey tournament in the world, runs from 26 to 31 December, and the World Economic Forum meeting brings around 3,000 participants for up to five days at the end of January. In summer, Lake Davos gets steady thermal winds for sailing, though the water peaks at about 20 degrees.

Davos villa holidays: questions answered
Is Davos good for families?
Yes, if you plan around the town's size. Davos shares five ski areas with Klosters, Lake Davos is good for summer sailing, and most homes are apartments for about four. Check the distance from your apartment to the lift you want.
Do you need a car in Davos?
No. The Rhaetian Railway serves both Davos Dorf and Davos Platz, with a change at Landquart from Zurich. A car helps for the Flüela Pass in summer or the Landwasser Viaduct near Filisur.
Is Davos good for skiing?
Yes. The Davos Klosters Mountains include Parsenn, reached by funicular from Davos Dorf, Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn, Pischa and Madrisa. Parsenn links to Klosters via the Gotschna cable car, and Jakobshorn alone has twelve lifts.
Is Davos busy in January?
Very, at the end of the month. The World Economic Forum annual meeting runs for up to five days in late January with around 3,000 participants. The Spengler Cup also fills the town from 26 to 31 December.
Davos or Klosters?
Davos is the town, with about 10,800 residents and two railway stations. Klosters is a village about 10 km north, long a winter favourite of the British royal family. The Gotschna cable car links Klosters into the shared ski area.
