Madness in Davos: hotel prices explode and tigers stare!

Madness in Davos: hotel prices explode and tigers stare!

In Davos, where the mountains cover the land and ice hockey is played at the highest level, there is a very unique climate - not just meteorologically, but also in terms of price. nn.de highlights in a recent report that hotel room prices here can reach a dizzying 12,000 euros per night. If that sum doesn't make you astonished, destroying a beer table costing 200 francs certainly will.

But Davos is not just a house of cards for fans of exorbitant prices. As the location of the renowned Spengler Cup, the Zondacrypto Arena, home of HC Davos, offers the finest ice hockey every year. With a capacity of 7,080 spectators, fans have enough space to live out their passion. Even the snow may be nothing more than a shadow of its former self when the players duel on the ice. Historically, the Davos ice stadium was also the venue for many international speed skating events and, thanks to its height of 1,560 meters above sea level, has an excellent reputation - numerous world records were set here.

The Nuremberg Ice Tigers in focus

The Nuremberg Ice Tigers, founded in 1980 and active in the PENNY DEL since 1994, are currently in a process of change. The team has made a name for itself, but has not returned to its glory days in recent seasons. Their greatest successes in the league are the runner-up titles in 1999 and 2007, both against Adler Mannheim. In the 2007/08 season, however, they were knocked out of the competition in the first playoff round, despite an impressive first place in the preliminary round.

Important players who shape the club are Martin Jiranek, who is the record holder with 493 DEL games, and the most successful scorer in DEL history, Patrick Reimer, who scored 431 points in 462 games for Nuremberg. These men have left a lasting impression and show that the Ice Tigers are much more than just another team - they are an integral part of the ice hockey landscape.

Experience Davos

In this spectacular setting, which is itself worth a trip, questions arise: How does it feel to play in the splendor of this arena and in the middle of the mountains? It's an experience you won't soon forget. To enjoy all facets of ice hockey in the heart of the Swiss Alps, the atmospheric stick fondue for eight francs is of course part of it. It combines culinary delights with the warmth of conviviality - just as you would expect in an ice hockey arena.

The very special charm of Davos lies not only in the games, but also in the atmosphere created by the old town and the surrounding nature. The Zondacrypto Arena remains the perfect place to celebrate passion, community and exciting games. A place where hearts not only beat for the sport of ice hockey, but also for the region.

Next time you think about Davos, remember that it's not just about the high prices or the spectacular hockey games; it is an experience that goes far beyond sport.
