WHAT TO PACK

Clothing:

In the first two weeks of August, Davos typically experiences mild temperatures. Historical data from mid-August 2024 shows average temperatures ranging from 7.9°C (46.2°F) to 25.8°C (78.4°F).  Mornings and evenings can be chilly and midday can be hot. Some sudden rainfall can occur. Given these conditions, it's advisable to dress in layers to accommodate temperature fluctuations and to have rain gear on hand.
