WHAT'S GOING ON WITH BOLT?
Swiss sculptor and painter Christian Bolt doesn't like lies in art. He likes inner precision. What does he mean?
DAVOS KLOSTERS
Davos Klosters is one of the most famous holiday destinations in the world and boasts the most comprehensive holiday, sport and meeting facilities in the mountains.
The foundation stone for this success was laid over 150 years ago when the first winter guests arrived on 8 February 1865. Today, the Davos Klosters destination is a holiday destination with a thousand possibilities: ski slopes with guaranteed snow, an extensive network of cross-country tracks, unique hiking trails, wonderful mountain biking routes in all the tributary valleys, thrilling adventure and theme parks and or a lively art and culture scene with the Kirchner Museum as an absolute highlight.
Davos Klosters has also been awarded the «Family Destination » quality seal, which distinguishes holiday resorts that specifically match their offerings to the needs and requirements of children and their carers.
