The wellness spa in Alvaneu enjoys growing popularity - but off the beaten track. Children are welcome after 12 noon.

Excursion tips Davos
Find suggestions for excursions in the Davos area |
Visit to the alpine petting zoo on the Rinerhorn
Located directly next to the mountain station with many animals waiting to be petted. The lamas, however, are better viewed at a distance...
To the Sertig Valley with the postbus
Tu Ta Ta - Postbus...
The drive can be perfectly combined with a walk or a short hike. The mountains, the old wooden houses, the waterfall - that's a pure holiday feeling!
Schatzalp with summer toboggan run
The funicular takes you to the top and you'll find the short, safe summer toboggan run 200 m next to the mountain station. Apart from a visit to the Alpinum, we also recommend the pram-accessible hike back to Davos (squirrel path!).
Loop trial around Lake Davos
A pram-accessible trail leads from the large parking place in an hour around the lake. Squirrels can be fed along the forest. On hot summer days, the lake invites you to dip in and refresh yourself.
Sledge carriage ride
An unforgettable experience for the entire family. Wrapped in warm and cosy blankets, the smell of the horses and a clear view of the surrounding winter wonderland.
We recommend making a reservation and would be pleased to help you on location.
