PAWFECT HAPPINESS — HOLIDAYS WITH YOUR DOG IN DAVOS KLOSTERS
There are places that do not need to shout for attention. Davos Klosters is one of them. Early in the morning a fine light lies on the meadows, Lake Davos seems to hold its breath, and from the forests rises the scent of resin, moss and cool earth. Anyone walking here with a dog soon feels their pace grow calmer. Paws find their rhythm, and people do too.
Davos: paths that carry you
Between Lake Davos and the Panorama Trail, in Sertig with its broad valley floor, or over in Dischma, the path almost carries you by itself. The firs filter the light into soft patches on the ground. A brook accompanies you for a while, then it grows quiet again, leaving only a gentle rustle in the undergrowth. Sometimes the forest opens onto a small clearing. Your dog lifts its nose, reads the day like a good newspaper and suddenly seems taller than just before. There is no need to hurry here. Trails are not there to be checked off, but to arrive within them.
Klosters: a touch more intimate
Klosters feels a shade more intimate. On Madrisa there is often a warm tone in the air by late morning. In Garfiun meadow, woodland edge and mountain backdrop meet so perfectly that you almost forget to move on. Schlappin greets you with reflections and a quiet that is always a little deeper by the water. And when evening gathers color on the peaks, the gold of the larches in autumn becomes its own chapter that you prefer to turn softly.
Dog friendly on the move
You notice along the way how naturally dog friendly it is here. Robidog stations stand where you need them. In mountain huts such as Dürrboden, Vereina or at the Strelapass, dogs are welcome if you ask considerately and there is space. With the Davos Klosters Premium Card, bus and cable car rides are included. In winter there are marked dog trails for gliding together without disturbing others. The year-round fireworks ban in Davos feels like a quiet promise to wildlife, pets and all who seek peace. Klosters is on its way there as well. That helps too.
Calm, consideration and in good hands
Safety remains a good compass. There are places where leads are required and zones where nature takes priority. In alpine pastures it helps to keep distance from livestock and make a friendly arc around the herds. It is not only wise, it also makes the paths lighter in the mind. Those who come more often know that composure is the finest equipment.
If needed, you are not alone. In Davos and Klosters there are excellent, warm-hearted veterinarians who take their time and help with great calm. Knowing that these reliable hands are there in the background makes days even more relaxed, even if you hopefully never need them. And if something important stayed at home, Pet’s Shop Davos has everything a dog’s heart could wish for.
Then there are the small things you take with you. A wet dog bowl that tastes of mountain stream. A stick that is in truth a treasure. The way your dog looks back once more from the lakeshore before you carry on. In the evening the feeling of tired paws and a heart that has grown wide.
If you would like a part of this to remain, I am happy to tell your story in images. I work early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the sun bathes our landscape in golden light. Without pressure, with gentle light and a clear visual language so that nature can do its part.
