Brief Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive in Davos & drop luggage at a family-friendly hotel (Hotel Seehof)

Quick check-in or luggage drop so you can start the day light. Hotel Seehof is lakefront and used here as a convenient, child-friendly base with family rooms and toilets/changing facilities.

30m

Breakfast at the hotel restaurant — relaxed, kid-friendly meal

Buffet-style breakfast at the hotel with hot and cold options; order simple warm items for picky eaters and ask for quick refills so kids aren't waiting.

45m

Short transfer to Jakobshorn cable car (talstation)

Quick walk or short bus/taxi to the Jakobshorn base station — minimal transfer keeps kids comfortable before the mountain ride.

20m

Jakobshorn cable car up + easy family summit time

Cable car ride to Jakobshorn: short ride with panoramic views and stroller-friendly, short, flat trails near the top for toddlers to toddle safely. Great photo moment and a chance for kids to see mountain cows and alpine flowers in July.

Transfer down and to Bolgen Plaza for a relaxed family lunch

Return to town and a short transfer to Bolgen Plaza — large terrace, kids' options and flexible plates so fussy eaters are covered.
