How to Summer in the Swiss Alps
For adventure, wellness, and family fun, make the town of Davos your home base.
Every winter, travelers from all over the world venture to Graubünden – Switzerland’s largest and easternmost canton – to take advantage of the Swiss Alps’ iconic ski resorts, snowcapped peaks, and decadent, fondue-laden après-ski scene. And while the region and its alpine villages – including Chur, Saint Moritz, and Davos, a town nestled sky-high in the Landwasser Valley – sparkle in winter, that’s not the only season worth planning a trip around.
“While I love its winter activities, travelers shouldn’t skip Davos in the summer,” says LTTravel Connection. “The town has charming hotels and great restaurants and cafés. And the surrounding Graubünden area is truly a fairy-tale land, with dramatic landscapes and storybook villages.”
For a centrally located home base, settle in the charming and friendly town of Davos to soak up the best of Graubünden. Here, summertime teems with activities for travelers seeking exhilarating adventures, serene wellness, or all-ages amusement. Before you go: “Be sure to learn the word Grüezi," Williamson says. “It’s the informal greeting given to everyone you meet in Graubünden.”
