(in eastern Switzerland) The Prättigau/Davos Region of the canton of Graubünden, on the Landwasser River, in the Rhaetian Alps, lies between the Plessur and Albula Ranges) The town of Davos consists of two villages, Davos-Platz and Davos-Dorf, in the Davos Valley, on the Landwasser 1,560 meters above sea level. The town is mentioned in historical documents of 1160 and 1213; it was then inhabited by Romansh-speaking people, but later in the 13th century it was settled by German-speaking people from the upper Valais. In 1436 it became the capital of the League of Ten Jurisdictions, but it belonged to Austria from 1477 to 1649. After the 1860s it became a fashionable health resort, and in the 20th century it was developed as a skiing and winter sports center.

+ In 1971 Davos began hosting the World Economic Forum, an annual winter gathering centered around discussions of the world’s leading economic, political, and social concerns. Scholars of globalization have used the term “Davos culture” to represent the elite group of international business, political, and civil-society leaders who attend the annual meeting.
