Waldfriedhof Davos

Waldfriedhof Davos is a cemetery situated in a forested setting at 1,560 meters (5,120 feet) elevation, surrounded by the Plessur and Albula mountain ranges. The grounds spread across a spacious area with maintained pathways connecting different sections among the grave markers.

The cemetery was designated as a class A Swiss cultural property of national significance due to its historical importance in the Graubunden region. This status reflects its long-standing role as a burial ground with notable heritage value.

The grave markers throughout the cemetery display various artistic styles that reflect different periods of Swiss burial traditions. You can observe how memorial design practices have evolved over time in this mountainous setting.

The cemetery is accessible via Wildboden street in Davos Frauenkirch, where clear pathways guide visitors through the grounds. Both paved and natural trails make it easy to walk through the burial grounds without difficulty.

The cemetery blends Alpine forest elements with burial grounds, creating a memorial space set at one of Switzerland's highest elevations. This unusual combination of woodland and graves gives the place a character rarely found in Swiss burial grounds.
