Their home arena is the [[Vaillant Arena]]. In December of each year, the team and arena host the [[Spengler Cup]], an international tournament first held in 1923. Besides [[cross-country skiing]], offering some {{convert|97|km|abbr=on}} of pistes, Davos has the largest natural [[ice skating]] field in Europe. [[Bandy]] is occasionally played there.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rusbandy.ru/pix/14099.jpeg|title=Bandy field at the ice stadium}}</ref> [[Four nation bandy tournament in 2014|An international tournament, starting in 2014]], has been organised.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQTgqD8EzCk| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211114/PQTgqD8EzCk| archive-date=2021-11-14 | url-status=live|title=Bandy Davos 2014 (Czech republic vs. Netherlands)|last=Česká Asociace Bandy|date=24 February 2014|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.luxos.com/images/DESTINATIONS/Davos/About/6606/Bandy-Spiele_100-Jahr-Jubilaum-der-ersten-Bandy-Europameisterschaft_04.jpg|title=Czech Republic and Germany playing in the international bandy tournament 2014}}</ref> The [[1913 European Bandy Championships]] in Davos is so far the only one of its kind. There are six main ski areas in winter, with a total of {{convert|320|km}} of slopes: * [[Parsenn|Parsenn / Gotschna]] which connects to the partner town of Klosters from Davos Dorf * [[Jakobshorn]] which can be reached from Davos Platz directly * [[Pischahorn]] which can be reached by frequently running buses into Flüela valley * Rinerhorn to start from Davos Glaris * [[Madrisahorn]] located in neighbouring Klosters * Schatzalp is privately owned by the Schatzalp Hotel and a specialty as a "decelerated" skiing area All areas offer summer transport as well on to the main peaks from mid May until end of October. The remote side valleys heading towards the [[Engadin]]e area are worth long hikes towards the passes of Sertig or [[Scaletta Pass]] to reach, for example, [[Piz Kesch]], an [[Ultra prominent peak]]. To the north there are no valleys but rather a direct one-day ascent to continue across a pass into the "Schanfigg" valley towards the rival resort of [[Arosa]] or even to continue to [[Lenzerheide]] in a two-day hike.<ref>{{in lang|en}} [http://en.graubuenden.ch/hiking-switzerland/trekking/54-mittelbuenden-panoramaweg-lenzerheide-davos.html Hiking Alps in Switzerland, Davos, Graubünden] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150514091942/http://en.graubuenden.ch/hiking-switzerland/trekking/54-mittelbuenden-panoramaweg-lenzerheide-davos.html |date=14 May 2015 }}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
