Davos (population 11,000) is a town in eastern Switzerland, in the canton Graubünden, on the Landwasser River.
Davos is mostly known as a winter sports town, but is also host to the annual meetings of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Its claim to fame derives from the fact that the microclimate in the high valley was deemed excellent by doctors and recommended for lung disease patients. Arthur Conan Doyle wrote an article about skiing in Davos in 1899. Subsequently, Davos became famous as a ski-resort, especially with citizens from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. After a peak in the 1970s and 1980s, the two-part city has re-established itself as a leading yet less high profile tourist attraction.
The five main ski areas are:
