It is composed of five councilors ({{lang-de|Landrat/-rätin}}), each presiding over a department (''Departement'') comprising several bureaus.

In the mandate period 2021–2024 (''Legislatur'') the Small Country Council is presided by ''Landammann'' Philipp Wilhelm. Departmental tasks, coordination measures and implementation of laws decreed by the Grand Country Council are carried by the Small Country Council. The regular election of the municipal councils by any inhabitant valid to vote is held every four years. Any resident of the municipality of Davos allowed to vote and being registered can be elected as a member of the Small Country Council for a maximal period of twelve years. The delegates are selected by means of a system of ''[[First-past-the-post voting|Majorz]]''. The President is elected as such as well by a public election while the heads of the other departments are assigned by the collegiate. They usually meet once a week.<ref name=KLR>{{cite web |url=http://www.gemeindedavos.ch/de/politikverwaltung/politik/exekutive/ |title=Kleiner Landrat |publisher=Gemeinde Davos |language=de |location=Davos, Switzerland |type=official website |access-date=2023-03-01}}</ref> {{As of|2021}}, Davos's Small Country Council is made up of two members of SP ([[Social Democratic Party of Switzerland|Social Democratic Party]]), of whom one is the president), two FDP ([[FDP.The Liberals]]), and one Independent.
