The Property — AMERON Mountain Hotel Davos
The AMERON Mountain Hotel Davos feels like a cosy, no-nonsense base camp for the Alps. The lobby is all warm wood and muted stone, with a quiet mountain-lodge vibe that’s practical rather than polished. It’s aimed at skiers in winter and hikers in summer who want clean, functional rooms and a decent breakfast without paying for frills. The USP is location: a short walk from the train station and right at the foot of the Schatzalp cable car, so you can be on the trails within ten minutes.
Chronicles of Davos
Davos began as a Walser settlement in the 13th century, but its modern identity was forged in the 19th century when Dr. Alexander Spengler promoted mountain air as a cure for tuberculosis. That health‑resort reputation drew sanatoriums and later, after the 1930s, winter sports infrastructure. The town’s architecture is a mix of Belle Époque hotels, functional 1960s concrete buildings and modern alpine chalets. Today, Davos is best known for hosting the World Economic Forum each January, which briefly turns this quiet mountain town into a global power hub. Culturally, it remains a serious outdoor sports destination — ski slopes in winter, 700 km of hiking trails in summer — with a pragmatic, weather‑beaten charm.
Best Time to Visit
Full Davos guide →Best months
July and August for guaranteed snow‑free hiking and the best wildflower displays; September for quieter trails and golden larch forests. All three have long daylight hours and reliable cable‑car access.
Peak / festival surge
Peak summer is July through mid‑August, when families fill the hotels and the main hiking routes are busiest. Prices can jump 30‑40% above shoulder season. January is peak winter — that’s World Economic Forum week (mid‑January) when hotel rates triple and the town is overrun with delegates and security.
Budget shoulder season
June and September are the best shoulder months. June often has mild weather with fewer crowds; September brings crisp air, lower accommodation rates (often 20‑30% discounts) and still‑operating lifts.
Weather & packing
Davos sits at 1,560 m, so even in July you can get a thunderstorm or sudden cool spell — the daytime average is 17°C but nights drop to 8°C. Pack a waterproof shell, a fleece or mid‑layer, and sturdy walking shoes; sandals are a mistake unless you’re staying by the pool.
Live City Briefing — Davos
- The Schatzalp cable car (2026 status: fully operational through summer) has been upgraded with new cabins and a faster boarding system; queues are shorter than in 2024.
- Davos is trialling a new e‑bus route along the Promenade connecting the train station to the Jakobshorn base — check the local timetable as frequencies may vary.
- The ‘Kunst am Berg’ outdoor sculpture trail on the Schatzalp plateau has added three new installations for 2026, open to day‑visitors with a cable‑car ticket.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to AMERON Mountain Hotel Davos, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor facing away from Scalettastrasse (towards the mountainside). These upper floors reduce street noise and give you a clearer view of the surrounding peaks rather than the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors facing the street (Scalettastrasse side). The road carries local traffic and delivery vans in the morning, and lower floors get the worst of that noise. Also skip any room directly adjacent to the lift shaft — likely on each floor near the centre of the building.
Best views
Rooms facing south-west overlook the wooded slopes towards the Schatzalp area. You'll see trees and mountains, not the road. The street side gives you a view of Scalettastrasse and the opposite buildings — not special.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the quietest here — furthest from the lobby, bar, and street, and above the general bustle of the hotel.
🔊 Noise notes
Scalettastrasse is a local road leading into Davos Platz, so it gets some morning and evening traffic. The hotel's bar and restaurant on the ground floor can generate low-level noise until late. Lift shaft noise is a risk on every floor if your room is wall-sharing with it.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, ask reception about free parking spots — Davos has limited hotel parking and some guests have to use paid public garages. 2. Email the hotel directly two days before arrival to request a mountain-side room on floor 4 or 5; they're popular and often booked first.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
