Advantages: Too many to mention! Davos is aimed at the tourist, yet has a homely feeling about the place. It offers everything you can wish for. Disadvantages: When it rains, it rains! Remember to bring your plastic mac.
I've been to Davos on three separate occasions, all lasting three weeks. The first time I went I was just 14. The last time I visited Davos was this summer (2000) at the age of 19. Davos offers so many things to the tourists. Fantastic transport services, free use of transport within the area for all tourists, and they always run on time. There is a huge sports centre, which includes an ice rink which is also open during the summer. There are many tennis courts, a golf course and many other sports facilities available. For those not so interested in sports can shop at their hearts content. The main shopping street connects Davos Platz with Davos Dorf. It offers shops ranging from designer names to the more local high street names. There is also a cinema which screens many films, often dubbed or subtitled, recently released ...
Advantages: Great slopes, great views Disadvantages: Can be pricey
Davos may be best known for the trade conference with Bill Gates, Clinton, etc. But it is also one of my favourite snowboarding resorts in Switzerland. So much so, that I have been there about 15 times.
The slopes are suitable for everyone from beginner to very advanced. There is usually good opportunity for powder snow, just off the pisted slopes. If you want, you can ski all the way down to Klosters and then catch a free bus or train back.
Good, reasonably priced restaurants on the slopes.
Good nightlife and restaurants in town, although some can be rather expensive.
Just make sure you don't miss the last gondola back from the bottom of the long red run... it's a long way back to Davos if you do! ...

A friend recently told me that he doesn't believe Switzerland exists. The idea of a mountainous land where cheese, chocolate, clocks and boy scout knives are the main exports and there are no less than four main national languages is perhaps difficult to picture, but I can assure everybody that Switzerland does exist, and that it's the most beautiful and tranquil place in the world!
In 1997, at just 19 years of age, I decided to bite the bullet and spend a summer working abroad. I managed to get a position as a night porter at a Swiss hotel in the resort of Davos. Arriving there was an amazing experience: the railway ran through hills and canyons, past gorgeous valleys and flowing rivers with wispy white clouds floating above them, right through the Eastern Alps via Landquart to the town of Davos Platz.
I worked in the hotel ...
