Schatzalp Hotel - Davos

Historic 3-star hotel above Davos with private ski area and botanical garden

Location & Access

Schatzalp Davos sits on a sun terrace above Davos at 1,860 meters and is reachable only via the hotel's own funicular railway from Davos Platz. The funicular runs daily until midnight, letting guests come and go as they please. The hotel offers direct access to the private Schatzalp ski area via a chair lift, and this lift is free of charge for hotel guests.

Botanical Garden & Literary History

Schatzalp Hotel sits in the middle of its own botanical garden with 5,500 species of alpine plants, a feature that sets it apart from other area hotels. The property is the former sanatorium that served as inspiration for Thomas Mann's novel "The Magic Mountain," and the building retains its early 1900s Art Nouveau architecture. Guests interested in literature or alpine botany will find these two elements central to the hotel's identity.

Dining

Berghotel Schatzalp provides multiple dining venues, including the Belle Epoque Restaurant and the Snow Beach terrace, with menus that accommodate diverse dietary needs. Half board is available upon request, and the restaurant serves local cuisine with high-quality ingredients. Guests can also order kids' meals and special diet menus.

Wellness & Activities

The hotel features a wellness area with a sauna, steam room, and spa lounge, plus a textile-free sauna area for those who prefer it. For outdoor recreation, Schatzalp Davos has a classic toboggan run in winter, a separate summer toboggan run, and direct access to hiking trails and the Jakobshorn mountain area. Children can use a dedicated playground, indoor play area, and kids' outdoor play equipment, while adults can join walking tours or yoga classes.
