Davos
Davos was one of the first ski resorts to be created and is the
largest in Switzerland, an alpine city with major thoroughfares and
hotel blocks lining the streets. Despite its lack of character,
Davos is a premier European holiday resort, offering not only
accommodation with a reputation for excellence, an endless array of
winter and summer recreational activities, crisp mountain air and a
health spa, but also five separate ski areas ensuring a superb
variety of skiing and snowboarding for all abilities. Nearby is the
little sister resort of Klosters, a small traditional village with
a quiet and unobtrusive atmosphere that shares the large Parsenn
ski area.
Information & Facts
Language
The three official languages are Swiss German, French and
Italian. A few people speak Romansch, but this is confined to the
southeastern corner of the country. Most people know at least three
languages, including English.
Money
The official currency is the Swiss franc (CHF) divided into 100
rappen (German) or centimes (French). Although not part of the EU
many prices are nonetheless indicated in Euros and some merchants
may accept Euros. Visa, MasterCard and American Express are widely
accepted and ATMs are widespread; many are equipped with the Cirrus
or Maestro system. Banks offer the best exchange rates for
travellers cheques and foreign currency, but it is also possible to
exchange money at major hotels, main train stations and airports.
Banks are open Monday to Friday.
Time
Local time in Switzerland is GMT +1 (GMT +2 between March and
October).
