Davos is a town in eastern Switzerland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland), in the canton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantons_of_Switzerland) of Graubünden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graub%C3%BCnden), on the Landwasser River (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Landwasser_River&action=edit).
Davos is mostly known as a winter sports (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_sports) town (where the annual Spengler Cup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spengler_Cup)ice hockey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey) tournament is played, hosted by local hockey team HC Davos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HC_Davos)), but it is also host to the annual meetings of the World Economic Forum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum) (WEF), an annual meeting of global political and business elites, which is often referred to as simply Davos.
Its claim to fame derives from the fact that the microclimate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microclimate) in the high valley was deemed excellent by doctors and recommended for lung disease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_disease) patients. Arthur Conan Doyle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Conan_Doyle) wrote an article about skiing in Davos in 1899 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1899). Davos is also the setting of Thomas Mann (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Mann)'s novel Der Zauberberg (The Magic Mountain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magic_Mountain)), which takes place at a sanatorium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanatorium). Davos is also featured in Tom Evslin's serialized novel, Hackoff.com (http://www.hackoff.com/), which was initially distributed via blog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog), making it a blook (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blook).
Subsequently, Davos became famous as a ski resort (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_resort), especially with citizens from the United Kingdom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom) and the Netherlands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands). After a peak in the 1970s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970) and 1980s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980), the two-part city has re-established itself as a leading, yet less high-profile, tourist attraction.
It is claimed to be the highest city (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_towns_by_country) in Europe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe).
