The Swiss resorts of Klosters and Davos are only about a half-hour by train from each other, but worlds apart in their town experience. Klosters village spreads with wooden chalets-style buildings and Davos is square, concrete and urban.
As part of my research for my guidebook, Ski Snowboard Europe and the website, www.skisnowboardeurope.com I plan trips to many ski and snowboard resorts in North America and Europe throughout the winter. This week, I am visiting three resorts in Switzerland. The first is Arosa in the southwestern corner of the country.
Ah! I’m back in Switzerland for the first time in about eight years or so. My first thoughts, as we circled the airport and the Swiss International Airlines non-stop flight from Boston turned on to final approach, were how beautiful and green Switzerland is, even as it becomes more and more populated.
