Davos wins 4:3
... we journeyed along the road about 40km or so to Davos/Klosters which is considerably higher than Landquart where we are now. Have never seen so much snow as the ploughs have turned the sides of the roads into 3m walls of pure white ice and as the snow continued to fall everything was feathered with soft fluffy powdery fresh snow.
