Right at the edge of the forest, slightly raised above sparkling Lake Davos, stands the AlpenGold Hotel – DISPLAY readers Markus and Dani stayed there and are captivated.

A trip to Davos is especially worthwhile in summer. And the AlpenGold is the perfect hideaway. As soon as you arrive, the sun is reflected in 791 curved metal panels that shape the façade like oversized pine cones. The Deluxe Room is both retreat and viewing platform: natural wood, elegant parquet floors, floor-to-ceiling windows. With wonderful views of the Parsenn area or the Jakobshorn.

Exhilarating sporting prospects

Davos

There’s plenty of action thanks to 700 kilometres of hiking and biking trails. The golf course is just ten minutes away. And for romantic hours on the water, Markus and Dani go stand-up paddleboarding on Lake Davos.

Creative cuisine at atelier VERT

Davos

Manuel Zünd’s cooking offers a special culinary discovery: vegetarian, seasonal, with a surprisingly creative twist and regional produce. At “atelier VERT”, the focus is on flavours, textures and compositions that are finely balanced, artfully presented and celebrated right in front of the guests with a pinch of showmanship.

AlpenGold executive chef Manuel Zünd and his team rely on close collaboration with local producers who reflect the richness and diversity of Graubünden’s nature. Every dish tells the story of a special place and of the people who cultivate their produce with passion.

Davos

If you want to round off the evening in style, you’ll find an exclusive selection of Cohibas at Le Fumoir, or you can let yourself be surprised by a signature cocktail in the Nuts & Co lounge.
