Davos / Other information

A lot of non-ski activities take place on one of Davos' many ice rinks: ice hockey, ice skating, speed skating and curling are all popular, both to play and to watch.
 
Ice hockey, ice skating, speed skating and curling are all popular with a choice of Europe’s largest natural ice rink, an outdoor artificial ice rink, a large ice stadium and a smaller rink at the base of Parsenn. There’s often a chance to watch events too; Davos hosts the International Speed Skating Championships and the renowned pro ice hockey Spengler Cup.

For those who like to promenade there are over 84km of well prepared winter walking paths, popular routes are around the Davos Lake, along the river from Platz towards Frauenkirch and the Hohenweg, which runs parallel to main street from Dorf to Platz but higher up.

At Rinerhorn there is sledge run, which is seriously steep in sections and is often manic with children belting down out of control. Floodlit until 9pm, goggles are essential! There is also a sledge run down from the hotel at Schatzalp accessed by the mountain railway from Davos Platz.

Other sports available include: paragliding, hang-gliding, indoor tennis, swimming and a climbing wall. There is also a wintersports museum tracing the development of equipment and clothing through the years, as well as a museum dedicated to the expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, who lived in Davos between 1917 and 1938. A folk museum, a doll museum, a mining museum and a museum of medicine complete the list.
