Sounds great - I don't ski at all so, it's just what I would have wanted to know. I always enjoy checking out activities beyond downhill, too. Switzerland is one of the places my husband and I long to visit together. He's been several times and loves it for many of the reasons you describe here. Hi Meredith, I hope you and your husband get to visit Switzerland together.
No matter what time of the year you visit, there are a wealth of activities you'll enjoy for sure. Hi kerry, It's great to have so many cultural and sports activities easily accessible in Davos. Over the course of a week, I was never bored. Hi NoPotCooking, Thanks for your comments. And, sometimes when friends or couples visit a ski resort, there may be someone in the party who doesn't downhill ski.
So it's great to have other enjoyable options. Nice to know about other activities. We have a number of children spread out in age - so we always need a variety of options. Hi Christine, Davos is perfect for the whole family with the array of sports and cultural activities available. And they are all relatively easy to get to. I'd love to visit Switzerland some time. It has always appealed to me. Although I do not ski, now I see that there are plenty of other options - thanks! Hi Sheryl, Not all ski resorts have such an array of non-downhill-related options almost at your doorstep the way Davos does.
I've always wanted to try cross country skiing--this from someone who grew up downhill skiing but I wasn't very good at it. Great suggestions. Have you visited Dovos in the summer time? Maybe for those who don't like downhill skiing, visiting some of these resorts in the off season saves money and gives you a completely different view of the city then when it's crowded with tourists.
Yes, you'd definitely avoid the crowds and the high prices. I've never been there at that time of the year. Another thing added to my ever-growing list. Definitely NOT a skier although my parents were fans of cross-country skiing back in the day , so I'm glad to know the tourism industry thinks of us fearful types too.
