This easy, flat 3.9 km (2.4 miles) loop provides a perfect opportunity for visitors of all abilities to enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the region. Winding around the shimmering turquoise waters of Lake Davos, the crushed stone trail is ideal for gentle strolls, wheelchair users, and families with strollers, featuring breathtaking, unobstructed views of the surrounding Swiss Alps.

Whether you're seeking a relaxed walk, accessible outdoor recreation, or simply a photo-worthy alpine backdrop, the Lake Davos Seepromenade is a must-visit destination.

Lake Davos Trail (Seepromenade): Accessible Alpine Views in Davos, Switzerland

This easy hike around Lake Davos (Davosersee) begins at the large public parking lot at the parking coordinates provided (46.814381, 9.84661). The flat trail circles the lake with its main trailhead located on the southeast side of the lake, where this hike starts.

The trail leads north where visitors will find beautiful Alps views above the turquoise-hued waters of Lake Davos. As you follow the trail around the lake, during warmer months, you may even find Swiss cows grazing in the open alpine meadows. The chiming of their cowbells makes for a fun, family-friendly walk in the heart of Davos without having to travel very far.

The Lake Davos Trail winds around the eastern side of the lake, passing recreational facilities, and even a boat dock. Eventually, the trail leads to an observation deck that sits above the lake. Here, you'll find Larch trees, views of the Swiss Alps, and more scenic views of the turquoise-hued waters of the lake.

The trail continues north from the observation deck and curves around the north side of the lake where visitors will find two walking paths that diverge, but meet up once again. For the universally-accessible path, continue on the northern path.

More views of the alpine peaks can be found along the northern shore of Lake Davos (Davosersee) with views back toward the center of Davos, Switzerland. The trail eventually wraps around the western side of the lake where you'll find even more breathtaking Alps views as it leads back toward the parking lot.

Finally, the trail wraps up at the main trailhead, after passing through the very large parking lot to end this easy and accessible 3.9 km (2.4 mile) loop hike.

This trail is a scenic walk around Lake Davos and is not challenging at all. Very easy walking and nice views of the Swiss Alps. We even found cows grazing alongside the trail, probably my favorite part.
