What A Wonderful World

Some places you discover – others you find exactly when you need them most. When everyday life in the city suddenly came to a halt in spring 2020, the current owners found their way to Monstein. What was originally intended as a short retreat from Zurich quickly became more: a place to breathe, find peace, and feel at home, surrounded by the impressive mountain landscape of the Davos high valley.

From this feeling, the vision of Snowflake was born: to create a house that blends harmoniously into its surroundings and respects alpine building culture. Together with local craftsmen from the Davos valley, a chalet was created, characterized by carefully selected natural materials, handcrafted fittings made on site, and traditional construction methods.

Monstein is one of the most original Walser villages in the Davos region and lies at about 1,600 meters above sea level, nestled in the impressive mountain world of the Davos high valley. The small village is marked by traditional wooden houses, intact nature, and an atmosphere of tranquility that is now rarely found. Here, time seems to move a little slower. Wide landscapes, clear mountain air, and immediate proximity to nature create a quality of life that offers both peace and inspiration.
