What you did not know about Hotel Dischma Davos.
Hotel Dischma Davos stands on land shaped by the oldest rhythms of Davos, centuries before sanatoriums, ski lifts, or international conferences transformed the valley into a global destination.
The area surrounding the hotel was once part of the early Walser settlement zone of Davos Dorf. Walser families who migrated into the high valleys of Graubünden built small homes, barns, and workshops along these quiet stretches, using the land for grazing livestock, cutting hay, and connecting farms to forest routes. The gentle slopes behind the hotel still follow the contours of these medieval paths, many of which evolved naturally into the walking trails that remain today. In the 19th century, when Davos was discovered as a healing retreat for tuberculosis patients, the valley saw dramatic change. Sanatoriums rose high on the slopes to maximize sunlight, but the valley floor, where Hotel Dischma Davos now stands, remained the beating heart of daily life for the local community. This land was home to bakers, carpenters, craftsmen, and families who supported the sanatorium economy. The quiet paths around the hotel were often used by patients walking their prescribed “Luft-Kuren”, air cures, in which doctors instructed them to wander slowly through sunlit areas to strengthen their lungs. Some of these therapeutic walking routes are still used today by hikers and winter walkers. The early 20th century brought another transformation: the birth of skiing. Davos became one of the first true winter sports resorts in Europe, drawing adventurous travelers from across the continent. The slopes of Parsenn, just minutes from the hotel, became renowned among early ski pioneers. The land around the modern Hotel Dischma Davos served as an access corridor for these early skiers. They walked through these very streets with long wooden skis on their shoulders, climbing toward the slopes before formal lifts were built. The nearby meadows and gentle inclines were popular spots for early ski lessons, wooden-ski testing, and first attempts at alpine technique. As Davos expanded through the mid-20th century, this land transitioned from agricultural and residential use to lodging and hospitality. Its strategic position, sunlit, accessible, and close to the new infrastructure of winter sports, made it ideal for family-run guesthouses. Hotel Dischma Davos emerged from this era, shaped by the values of local life: modesty, warmth, familiarity, and steady mountain rhythm. Beneath the modern building lie traces of its layered past: stones from Walser-era structures, soil shaped by centuries of grazing, footprints of early artisan workshops, and subtle path alignments tied to the sanatorium period and the birth of skiing in the region. Today, Hotel Dischma Davos continues that legacy by preserving the quiet charm of an earlier Davos, one built not on performance or prestige, but on community, simplicity, and the authentic heart of alpine living.
