Davosersee Rundweg
Davos Dorf–Davos Dorf
This easy circular route leads around the superb Davosersee lake, always with wonderful views of the water, the valley and the magnificent Graubunden mountains. A worthwhile visit for every nature lover.
The route runs close to the lake shore, with it's variety of wild plants. The gravel path circles the lake, sometimes on the edge of shady woodland then again over open ground. The woodland is home to squirrels that have grown so used to tourists that they trustingly come within a half metre of them.
The view over the water to the valley from the north side of the lake is particularly imposing. The Graubunden mountain world in the background rounds off the picturesque scene to perfection. Colourful flowers and bushes line the bank, here and there a small wooden walkway juts out into the lake. In summer this is a wonderful spot to watch windsurfers gliding over the water. There are also plenty of secluded picnic spots along the route.
Thanks to the idyllic scenery, the Davosersee lake is an ideal spot to unwind and tank up on energy. To round off the day for example, it's worth stopping at the Seecafé of the Hotel Seebüel for refreshments and to once again enjoy the superb views before returning home full of happy memories.
