Direct peers

• Gemeinde St. Moritz: Affluent Graubünden tourism municipality with comparable high-end hospitality, congress seasonality, and a small permanent population. Functions as a Swiss peer destination competing for the same premium visitor segment.
• Gemeinde Arosa: Graubünden alpine municipality with similar tourism dependency, hotel infrastructure, and seasonal economy. Closest Swiss domestic peer given shared canton and tourism model.
• Stadt St. Gallen: Mid-sized Swiss municipal government with a comparable service portfolio (education, social services, culture) and shared Graubünden/St. Gallen regional context. Useful comparability on service delivery and budget structure, less so on tourism.
• Gemeinde Grindelwald: Swiss alpine tourism municipality (Bernese Oberland) with comparable seasonality, second-home exposure, and high-altitude ski economy. Useful as a direct Swiss tourism-municipality comparable.
• Gemeinde Zermatt: Swiss alpine tourism municipality at the base of the Matterhorn with comparable hotel capacity, ski-driven economy, and small permanent population. Shares the same municipal service model and tourism dependency profile as Davos.
• Gemeinde Lenzerheide: Graubünden alpine tourism municipality with shared canton-level governance, ski-driven economy, and small permanent population. Closest peer on Swiss municipal fiscal and tourism economics.

Regional players

• Ville de Chamonix-Mont-Blanc: French alpine municipality with similar high-altitude tourism, ski and mountaineering economy, and small permanent population. Functions as a regional analogue in the broader European alpine market.
• Comune di Cortina d'Ampezzo: Italian alpine resort municipality with comparable luxury tourism, ski economy, and small resident base. Serves as a peer in the same Italian alpine corridor and is slated to co-host the 2026 Winter Olympics.
• City of Aspen: US high-altitude resort community with similar brand positioning, second-home concentration, and event-driven economy (e.g., Aspen Ideas Festival). Comparable as a premium alpine destination outside Switzerland.

Others

• Destination Davos Klosters (DDO): Strategically partnered tourism organization jointly operating the destination marketing function for Davos. Adjacent rather than competitive, but closely tied to municipal tourism outcomes.
