This 1-boot and 2-boot walking holiday is based at the delightful Hotel Meierhof. From its formal lobby dominated by a hand carved pine grandfather clock to its low-lit wooden panelled dining room, this 19C hotel recalls a grander age of travel. Headwater guests normally stay in south facing rooms with balconies. There's also an indoor swimming pool and wellness area with saunas, steam bath, whirlpool, and mini gym. The hotel enjoys a long standing reputation for its gourmet cuisine and extensive wine selection, and a complimentary wine tasting is included at the start of your week. Expect to try exquisitely presented dishes such as cheese roulade with a courgette and wild mushroom ragout or red mullet served with olive ravioli. There's a popular bar where you can relax with a coffee and cognac after dinner.

All Headwater guests receive a Davos Card for unlimited travel on most cable cars, gondolas, funiculars, the local railway and bus routes. The Davos Card also gives discounts on other activities including the outdoor swimming pool. When you're not walking, your centrally located hotel is ideally situated to enjoy Davos' geranium-decked streets and tempting pavement cafes. There's sailing and windsurfing on Lake Davos (15 minutes walk from the hotel) and a varied programme of musical events throughout the summer.
