Why ski in Graubünden Ski Area
The Graubünden ski area is the largest region in Switzerland, making up 17.2% of the country's total land. It is a top ski destination and is home to three of the world's most classic ski resorts: Davos, Klosters and St.Moritz. Ski and snowboard holidays start when you arrive in Switzerland, as the excellent Swiss rail network takes you efficiently and quickly from Zurich to your resort, through some of Switzerland's most picturesque regions and typical ‘chocolate box’ Alpine scenery.
The Davos Klosters area has 300 kilometres of slopes alone and offers opportunities for all abilities. Cruise your way down the long runs or race your way across the world cup trails on a pair of cross country skis. Alternatively, if you'd like to try other snow activities, the Davos Hockey Club is legendary, home to the 'Davos Ice Dream' where you can test out your skills at ice skating and curling.
St Moritz's mountain is considered one of the most famous snow sports paradises in the world and has something for everyone, whether you're a beginner or a snow sports connoisseur - race down a slalom, hit a few jumps at the snow park or spend time with the children on the fun family slope. Not only does the Engadin and St Moritz ski area provide a high class lifestyle and excellent skiing, you're also in for a treat as the area is shaped by valleys, lakes and glaciers meaning you're in for some unforgettable views.
The food and drink of the Graubünden region reflect its Alpine landscape and rich cultural mix of Swiss, German, and Italian influences. Across Davos, Klosters and St.Moritz you can find a range of traditional alpine dishes including Swiss cheese fondue, raclette and tartiflette, alongside specialities from the region including Capuns - a potato style Spätzli dough and dried meat wrapped in Swiss chard and baked with cream or Maluns, crispy pan-fried grated potatoes served with applesauce or cheese. The region is also home to Bündnerfleisch, an air-dried beef delicacy, and the famous Bündner Nusstorte, a caramelized walnut tart that's a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. Italian-speaking valleys contribute specialties like delicious pizza and pasta, as well as regional specialities including polenta or Pizzoccheri - a buckwheat pasta with potatoes, cheese and cabbage
The Graubünden's mountain cheeses, such as those from Sertig, pair well with local wines from the Bündner Herrschaft, especially the renowned Pinot Noir. For stronger spirits, the cherry-based Röteli liqueur is a popular digestif, while local beers like Calanda reflect the region’s modern brewing scene.
When you are not making the most of the incredible skiing in the region, many of the hotels in the Graubünden have their own wellness facilities you can use, often featuring swimming pools, saunas and steam rooms - massages and treatments are also available for additional fees, so you can thoroughly relax after a day of adventures.
The Hotel Monopol in St. Moritz features a stunning adults-only rooftop spa, complete with two saunas, a steam room, jacuzzi, and a plunge pool. Open to both residents and non-residents, it’s well worth a visit for a moment of peace and quiet accompanied by fantastic mountain views.
One of the oldest hotels in Davos, the Hotel Seehof offers an exceptional spa experience with a whirlpool, bio-sauna, Finnish sauna, steam room, and Kneipp therapy pool. Guests can also enjoy a fully equipped fitness room during their stay. With its combination of modern wellness and traditional hospitality, the hotel provides a serene retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation.
For guests staying in Klosters, the Hotel Sport has an incredible indoor swimming pool, children's splash pool sauna and fitness room. Plus there's also a sports hall with table tennis, billiards and table football to keep you entertained.
