Best Davos Platz holiday apartments

Davos Platz is located in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, one of six districts of the municipality of Davos. In addition to Davos Platz, the district of Davos Dorf is located in the upper part of the valley on almost level ground. Davos Platz, with a good 8,000 inhabitants and an area of over 77 square kilometres, makes up the largest part of the municipality. The landscape of Davos is characterised both by the Swiss mountains and the dense woodland. Davos gained importance as a tourist destination in the middle of the 19th century, when its good reputation as a climatic spa and winter sports resort spread. So it’s no wonder that many visitors come here, especially during the cold season. You want to make sure that you don’t end up in a characterless bed castle? Then you have actually only two possibilities: You can register for a couchsurfing spot in Davos, or you can rent private accommodation. The latter has the advantage that you can count on familiar comfort and privacy. However, whether you will finally be accommodated in an apartment in Davos Platz, an accommodation in Davos Dorf or in one of the neighbouring communities, for example in a holiday apartment in Arosa, mainly depends on what exactly you expect from your four walls for a certain period of time. From an apartment with a rustic cottage charm to a noble hostel with a panoramic view, there is almost everything.

Cosy apartments in Davos Platz, in the climatic spa resort and winter sports paradise

The highest point of the village is the “Flüela Schwarzhorn” with 3.147 meters height. The main economic branch today is tourism, whereas in the past it was cattle breeding and the mining of lead and zinc ore. The health-promoting climate in the eastern part of Switzerland benefited asthmatics and lung sufferers in particular. From the rest of the landscape: winter sports fans, skiers, snowboarders, ice-skaters, cross-country skiers and enthusiastic tobogganists. At the end of the 19th century, the famous Davos toboggan was built in honour of them. In addition, the largest natural ice rink in Europe to this day is located in the centre of the village, not far from your private holiday home in Davos Platz. And Davos also offers sporting highlights in summer. In addition to various hiking routes, you can play beach volleyball or hire windsurfing equipment in the open-air swimming pool on Davos Lake.

Those interested in art should pay a visit to the “Kirchner Museum Davos”. Here you will find an impressive collection of works by the expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, who lived in Davos. Of course, you can also simply let yourself drift and after a relaxing night in your apartment in Davos Platz, stroll comfortably through the community, go shopping on the city promenade and marvel at the unusual architecture. In contrast to the rest of the region, Davos is characterized by a flat roof style. By the way: You are only one and a half hours away by car to one of the next bigger cities. However, if you want to complete the full program here and check out the sights as well as the many pretty shops, rent a night in a chic Apartment in St. Gallen, before you drive back to your little idyll in Davos. And here’s a tip for a worthwhile stopover on your way back: If you drive back to Germany by car, plan a stop with an overnight stay in an enchanting Apartment in Starnberg – near Munich. You won’t get back to this corner of the country that quickly, and a longer break after just three hours of driving won’t ruin your Davos relaxation.
