Davos

Town in an Alpine valley in Graubüden canton, Switzerland, situated 20 km/12 mi southeast of Chur, 1,559 m/5,115 ft above sea level; population (2000) 11,400. It consists of two villages, Davos-Platz and Davos-Dorf. It is recognized as a health resort and winter sports centre, with one of the world's finest ski runs, the Parsenn.

Cold north winds are infrequent and there is above-average sunshine, and for this reason Davos has become known as a recuperative centre.
