DAY 1 Arrival in Davos
We meet you at the station and transfer you (approximately 5 minutes) to your hotel, where you settle in and anticipate the first of many delicious dinners and the week-long adventure that lies ahead.
Lodging Hotel Meierhof Davos
Description This 19th-century hotel is situated in the heart of Davos Dorf within easy access to all local events and attractions. The fully renovated rooms are spacious and modern, with traditional furniture, light wood and colors, and balconies. In addition to two restaurants, a bar, a terrace for breakfast, there is also an indoor swimming pool and gym. Davos Dorf and Davos Platz are two adjacent towns connected by a bustling main street of stylish shops, restaurants, chocolate shops, and banks—the combination is a pleasant Alpine community also with interesting old buildings, secret parks, and hidden squares.
DAY 2 Dischma valley; 7km/4mi/2hr or 13km/8mi/3.5hr
This morning, from the tranquil hamlet of Durrboden, framed by the mighty snow-capped Scalettahorn (3086 meters or 10,125 feet) and Schwarzhorn (3146 meters or 10,322 feet), a rocky trail winds through scarlet daphne to charming Teufi by the river. Lunch can be enjoyed on the terrace of the village restaurant. You return along a trail through pine forest, alive with the chatter of wood pigeon, with increasingly more open views over Davos, nestled under the mighty Weissfluh.

DAY 3 Clavadeler Alp; 8km/5mi/2hr or 15km/10mi/4.5hr
After a hearty buffet breakfast, you embark on a wooded trail, bright with angelica and mountain scabious, that leads to Mt. Jakobshorn and breathtaking views over Davos shadowed by the snowy Graubunden peaks.

Continuing onward, with Lake Davos’ shimmering blue waters below, you reach today’s ideal lunch spot, Jakobshorn Gasthaus. After your meal, you descend to Clavadel, perhaps stopping off to taste the spicy mountain cheese before joining the riverside trail back to Davos.

DAY 4 The serene Sertig valley; 7km/4mi/2.5hr or 17km/11mi/4.5hr
This morning’s walk begins from Mt. Rinerhorn cable car. You descend in and out of pine forest to pretty Sertig hamlet, lost in a sea of meadows dotted with perennial cornflowers. It’s then on to the dramatic waterfall under Gross Alp—a clash of jagged limestone peaks and whitewater cascades. Finally, a wooded path follows the meandering River Sertig to Frauenkirch for a short bus ride to Davos.

With commanding views over the Mittaghorn and Jakobshorn, this is a great picnic spot. At your leisure, you descend through a narrow valley, alive to the crashing River Chummer to Glaris, returning to Davos by bus.

You continue onward with panoramas over snowcapped Bodmen Alp, then descend to delightful Monstein, with its two inns and medieval brewery. After lunch, you dip into oak forest, with lapwings and kittiwakes flitting through the dappled shade, to descend to Jenisberg for an exciting mountain railway ride (30 minutes) back to Davos.

What better way to end the week than with the aptly named Panoramaweg, or Grand Panoramic Trail? With Lake Davos shimmering below, you ascend to the tinkle of cowbells to tiny Lake Schoansee. Soon, Klosters frames the horizon as you climb to Gotschnagrat for the most panoramic lunch yet. Returning to the hotel, you make your way through edelweiss and gentian and may spot marmots playing on limestone boulders as you descend to Davos for a final five-course gala dinner.

The accommodations and food were great. The numerous trail options (great signage) allowed us to vary hikes to suit our moods. This was our first self guided hike booked through an outfitter and it exceeded our expectations.
