Solitary ski tour in Davos Monstein

Davos Monstein is located in a secluded side valley of Davos and offers fantastic ski touring terrain. There are great ski tours with cool descents, but also light forests and unknown tours for the fresh snowy days. The hotel is well run and offers great service. We will definitely get our money's worth here! Thanks to the good infrastructure, in addition to solitary tours from the hotel, you can also use the Davos railway facilities to undertake one or more ski tours from the ski area. One of them leads directly to the hotel with little ascent and many metres of descent! Of course, if it's snowing properly, there's also the option of doing a few runs from the ski area. We have many options here and can organise great touring days! By the way, after the tour we can visit the "Monstein" brewery, where the highest beer in Switzerland is brewed and Friday is open day!
