Local travel tips
- Travellers arriving by rail should notify the hotel of their Davos Dorf arrival time at least 24 hours in advance when requesting the hotel's station transfer service.
- Use Davos Dorf railway station for regional Rhätische Bahn connections and onward journeys towards Landquart and the Swiss national rail network.
- Lake Davos and Adventure Park Färich are practical nearby summer destinations, while the Parsenn mountain transport system is the principal option for skiing from Davos Dorf.
- The hotel's elevated position means some walks back from Davos Dorf involve an uphill section; use the local bus, hotel transfer or taxi when carrying luggage.
- Winter road conditions and mountain weather can change quickly around Davos, so drivers should check current conditions before using higher Alpine routes such as the Flüela Pass.
What to know before booking
- Underground parking cannot be reserved; the current hotel terms list CHF 25 per day for a full-stay registration made by arrival, or CHF 30 for individual days or late registration.
- Dogs cost CHF 40 per dog per night excluding food, with a maximum of two dogs per room; dogs weighing more than 7 kilograms are accepted only on request.
- Children under 16 may use the Spa Nescens swimming pool between 09:00 and 18:00 under the hotel's current spa policy.
- The property sits on a hillside outside the busiest central streets, so travellers wanting immediate access to Davos Platz shops and venues should allow for local transport or a longer walk.
Best time to visit
Winter is the principal period for skiing, snow sports and the Davos winter programme, while summer suits hiking, cycling, Lake Davos and mountain excursions. Late spring and autumn can be quieter, although some lifts, restaurants and seasonal activities may operate reduced schedules. January can be especially busy around major international events in Davos. Mountain weather changes quickly throughout the year, so conditions should be checked before hiking, skiing or crossing high Alpine passes.
