What’s New in Davos?

Few of you will have heard of the Swiss ski resort of Davos. Davos is better known in financial circles than it is in the ski circles as each year it hosts the World Economic Forum or WEF as it is commonly referred by. All of this is about to change though. The resort is investing heavily in its ski infrastructure and you can expect to see the resort become more well known over the next couple of years.

So what is new in Davos for the coming season? The main exciting news is that the old Schaffurggli T-bar has been replaced by Switzerland’s most state of the art and advanced ski lift. The new chair lift is perfect for disabled skier or those skiing with families. Whilst waiting for the next chair to come around lasers determine if you are an adult, child or disabled skier and adjust the height of the platform you are standing on by up to 10cm. No longer do parents have to lift their kids onto the lift before caring to themselves. Not only that, the safety bar automatically locks into place. If things weren’t stress-free enough, you can then enjoy the cushioned heated seats. The hardest part of the journey will be disembarking at the top and knowing you have left the comfort behind. Carrying up to 2600 skiers an hour this new lift is sure to shorten queues and make skiing in the Davos ski area a lot easier. Skiers in neighbouring Klosters are sure to head over and test out the new impressive lift.
