Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Davos

“Davos is the only Alpine resort whose biggest week has nothing to do with skiing. The World Economic Forum turns whole apartments and shopfronts into corporate rentals in January, the Spengler Cup fills the New Year, and then the ski season takes over. Klosters is quieter and more chalet-based. I treat WEF as a contracting exercise and the rest of winter as ski-week pricing.”

How Alaa would price a property in Davos

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Davos books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.

Alaa's pricing playbook for Davos

  1. 1

    Contract WEF week directly with companies and agencies well ahead rather than through OTAs alone.

  2. 2

    Price the Spengler Cup and New Year as the second winter peak.

  3. 3

    Run Saturday or Sunday ski weeks in February school holidays.

  4. 4

    Price Klosters chalets for families and groups on longer stays.

  5. 5

    Add summer congresses and hiking weeks to keep the low months alive.

Mistakes Alaa fixes most in Davos

How I price Davos through the year

Revenue management consultant in Davos & Klosters, Switzerland
  1. December to early JanuaryPeak

    Christmas, New Year and the Spengler Cup make late December the second peak after WEF, so I set the highest ski-season rates and require stays of a week or more.

  2. January (WEF week)Peak

    The World Economic Forum is priced as a separate contract with companies and agencies, with long rental periods, clear deposits and terms agreed well ahead.

  3. February to MarchHigh

    School holidays from Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands fill ski weeks, so I keep weekly rates firm and protect Saturday or Sunday changeovers.

  4. April to May and NovemberLow

    Lifts close and much of the resort pauses, so I keep low rates for congress guests and long stays or close the property for maintenance.

  5. June to OctoberShoulder

    Hiking, biking and congresses bring summer guests, so I price weeks and long weekends moderately and include the guest card benefits in the listing.

Where I price Davos differently

Davos Platz
Close to the congress centre, Jakobshorn and the WEF zone, this area carries the highest WEF and congress value, so I price conference weeks separately from ski weeks.
Davos Dorf
Near the Parsenn railway and the lake, Dorf suits ski families and summer guests, and I price ski weeks and lake views as clear premiums.
Klosters
Quieter, with chalets and the Gotschna and Madrisa lifts, Klosters attracts families and longer stays, and I price weekly ski rentals with a calmer, more exclusive position.

What I check first in a Davos audit

  1. 1WEF terms from previous years: how far ahead the property was rented, at what rate and under which conditions, since many owners leave value on the table by agreeing too early or too informally.
  2. 2Guest tax handling and registration with the local tourism organisation, plus whether the listing explains guest card benefits such as lift access in summer.
  3. 3Ski access, parking and storage for skis and boots, because these features drive what ski families pay and must be shown clearly in photos and descriptions.

FAQ

Questions Davos owners ask Alaa

How should I rent my Davos apartment during WEF?

Usually direct to companies or specialist agencies, agreed months ahead. Alaa sets terms and rates for that week separately.

Is Davos busy in summer?

Moderately, with hikers and congresses. Alaa keeps summer rates realistic and fills weeks with longer stays.

Should I rent my Davos apartment to a company or an agency for WEF?

Either can work. Companies pay well for direct contracts but need clear terms and a reliable owner, while agencies handle the contract and guests for a fee. I compare the offers, check deposits and cancellation clauses, and make sure the rate reflects the scarcity of good apartments near the congress centre.

Is it worth renting a Klosters chalet in summer?

Yes, if the chalet suits families or groups. Summer brings hikers, bikers and guests looking for cool mountain air, and the guest card adds value. I price summer weeks moderately, lean on the Vereina car train and the Madrisa side of the valley in the description, and use longer stays to cut turnover costs.

Has Alaa Elhadi worked with properties in and around Davos?

Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Davos, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Central European Time (UTC+1).
