Graubünden is some what a German word which means “Grey Union”. The settlement of people in Davos started in 1280 when the Barons of Van permitted the German Speaking Walser colonists to settle in the area. Davos was the biggest settlement area then in the whole Switzerland. Indeed, it’s by this reason that the people in Davos uses a little bit of German-like words as incorporated in their language.

Annually, Convention and Sports Gathering Championships are the most awaited events of the year in Davos. It’s like a festival when these days are coming. There are also a lot of Skiing Records that are set in Davos. It all started in 1898 when Peder Ostlund set 4 world records in Skiing.
