Visitor Reviews of Davos
christian from United Kingdom writes:
Did a day trip here 31st Dec12 when it was just knee deep powder on the slopes. Didn't scratch the surface and will go back here for sure sometime in the future. The actual resort of Davos wasn't as big and 'in your face' as I was expecting it to be having heard/seen what a big town it was, though that said I was only there for a short time. Train to/from Zurich seemed to drag on for ages, only downside for me so next time may have to including staying an evening or 7!
