Just steps away from the town center, there are miles of marked hiking trails, lush forests, and beautiful mountain landscapes. In both summer and winter, visitors to Davos can enjoy a variety of sports and leisure activities. Davos is one of Europe's oldest mountain resorts, dating back to the 1860's, where it was once considered a health resort because the high altitude and long hours of sunshine eased the suffering of many patients.

Swept from the pages of a fairytale, Liechtenstein is home to a stunning landscape with mountains and valleys. The magnificent, unspoiled nature is combined with a cosmopolitan vibe.
