Traveller notes on Davos in April
Other months in Davos
A local ski school's guide is candid that Davos-Klosters weather varies a lot month to month and even week to week, worth checking the forecast close to a trip rather than trusting the calendar alone. Their broader advice for planning a first visit: decide whether you're a beginner or advanced skier before booking, since it changes which part of the resort actually suits the trip.
