Davos
Hiking guide in Davos
Davos sits at 1,560 metres and is the highest town in Europe, which is why endurance athletes have trained here for a century — the altitude does real physiological work, and the valley floor is flat and long enough to use it. The cross-country network running the length of the valley is among the largest in the Alps.
The climate is dry and cold, and the snow is reliable from December into April. Outside winter it becomes hiking and climbing country, with the Jakobshorn and the Parsenn accessible by lift and the Flüela and Sertig valleys leading straight into serious terrain.
The route is chosen on the day
Switzerland has extraordinary trail signage and it still catches people out, because conditions change fast with altitude and season. Your guide picks the route after seeing the forecast and meeting you, which is the whole point of hiring one rather than following a blog post.
What to bring
Proper boots, layers, water, and something to eat. Your guide carries a first aid kit and knows what the weather is doing. If you are unsure whether your boots are adequate, they probably are not — say so when you book and your guide will tell you what to get.

Common questions
How fit do I need to be?
Say honestly what you can manage in the notes and the route is built around it. A half day at a gentle pace on a good path is achievable for most people in reasonable health.
Can we bring children?
Yes, with the route chosen accordingly. Tell us their ages — it is the single biggest factor in what is sensible.
What happens if the weather turns?
Your guide decides, and that decision is not negotiable. If the day is cancelled for safety we move it or refund it.
