Default Why only ski Europe?

Hello,

Davos: Another broad cold valley. Another valley you need an
automobile for to move between lift Talstations.

Note to any one building a resort: You need to make sure that you can
ski between all the valley stations, and all of the hotels. This means
that the hotels need to be scattered around the lower flanks of the
valley so you can ski to them, then ski away from them down to a lift
station.

Davos - as all european resorts - is a grown village with a historically
long architectural experience. This experience told the people, where to
build safely and where to avoid buildings (at the avalanche desaster of
Galtür many people died, because their houses were built to close to the
flanks; the center of the village was not affected - it is located,
where the the people know that they are safe)
