Davos, Alpine resort municipality in Graubünden, Switzerland.
The municipality stretches along a valley at 1560 meters elevation, encompassing multiple settlements including Davos Dorf and Davos Platz within the Swiss Alps.
In 1213, the area emerged as Tavaus when Rhaeto-Romans settled, later transforming into a health destination for tuberculosis patients during the 19th century.
The Kirchner Museum exhibits works from Ernst Ludwig Kirchner while multiple Swiss heritage sites preserve the architectural legacy of the mountain region.
The Rhaetian Railway connects the municipality to major Swiss cities, with several stations serving different areas of the valley throughout the year.
The municipality transforms into a global economic center each year during the World Economic Forum, gathering international leaders for policy discussions.
