Christmas in a Snow Globe

Mmmmmm fondue on Christmas! 
On our first trip to Davos a couple of months back, we knew returning ASAP was a must, ideally in the winter. Lucky for us, we were able to finagle our way in for a Christmas get away in this real life winter wonderland. Our room resembled a wooden ski chalet and when we looked out the window, it was as though we were staying in a snow globe.
These awesome sleds are Davos sleds! 
Davos, where on our first trip we hiked in the green mountains, transformed into every winter enthusiast's playground. Downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing and skating on Europe's largest outdoor rink (it was massive and SO cool!!) is all top notch.
Captured on Justin's cell phone. Magical mountains when the sun is out!
Instead of taking the train down from the slopes, some people prefer to ski home!

We filled our days with cold-weather activities followed by nights with massive amounts of cheese in the form of fondue and raclette- you gotta keep warm up there!
I loved the mouse at our hotel- Sheraton Davos Waldhuus
Though we missed being surrounded by family and friends during the holiday, this was one Christmas we will not soon forget.
