The healing power of the Davos climate is based on the protected high mountain location at 1,560 meters. Guests from all over the world use this effect for health prevention and therapeutic treatments.
The healthy Davos climate at 1,560 m above sea level is particularly helpful in treating allergic and infectious diseases of the respiratory tract and lungs. The latest research has shown that the altitude even stabilizes the autonomic nervous system. Hormone production in the adrenal glands (cortisone) increases, as does the production of sex hormones (testosterone). These health-promoting effects increase with the length of stay. Over the past 140 years, high-level medical and therapeutic expertise has developed in Davos. Davos Hospital and three excellent specialist clinics treat patients on site. Davos also has a wide range of general and specialist doctors who are also available for hotel visits.

Exposure to sunlight on the skin produces vitamin D, the effects of which on various levels of the organism were apparently not recognized for a long time. Vitamin D3 is the prerequisite for a responsive and strengthened immune system. A stay in Davos can therefore be a good way to prevent various diseases. In addition, allergy sufferers benefit from the fact that there is hardly any pollen in Davos during the summer months. The pollen season lasts only a few weeks in Davos. The concentrations of pollen per m3 of outside air are very low compared to the lowlands.
