Once the Zurich journey is complete and the familiar parts of your Davos holiday are organised, consider trying something you would not usually book. The destination guest programme can be a useful source of ideas. Approach it through curiosity and the details of the individual offer rather than the desire to fill every remaining gap.
Start with what you would like to learn
Choose a broad interest: a new outdoor activity, local culture or an experience led by someone with specialist knowledge. Read several descriptions before deciding. A compelling title may conceal participation requirements or a format that does not suit your group. Ask each person whether the activity appeals to them independently of the others. One well-chosen unfamiliar experience can add more to a stay than several bookings made simply because they appear in the same programme.
Read the individual participation conditions
The official guest-programme information and the selected offer should be your starting points for eligibility, booking and practical requirements. Check which guest-card arrangements apply and whether the experience needs a separate reservation or payment. Read any equipment instructions, language information and limitations on participation. If a condition is unclear, contact the responsible organiser. Avoid assuming that neighbouring activities on the programme follow identical rules or are interchangeable once booked.
Understand the experience from start to finish
Find the exact meeting location and what the organiser expects participants to bring. Determine where the activity finishes and whether any equipment must be returned there. Keep those details with the booking confirmation. Plan the local journey after the venue is clear, using current transport information and the coverage appropriate to your guest card. This allows the interesting part of the outing to begin without the group first needing to untangle basic practical questions.
Give the discovery room afterwards
Avoid immediately following the new activity with another demanding commitment. Allow time to discuss what surprised you and whether you would like to learn more. You may find a new interest, discover a different part of the destination or simply enjoy meeting a knowledgeable local organiser. Keep useful names and references in the holiday notes. Even if the experience remains a one-off, it can become the story that makes this Davos stay distinct from the last one.

No. Read the selected offer’s reservation, eligibility and payment requirements.
