Unique collector's property in Davos - Historic Walser house with stable at the foot of the Flüela Pass
Welcome to Davos, in the idyllic village of Dörfji at 1,804 m above sea level, where this extraordinary collector's property presents itself in the midst of an impressive alpine landscape. A property that combines history, originality and cosiness in a unique way - created for people who appreciate the special.
This historic Walser house looks back on a centuries-old past. As early as 1300, the Davos Walser acquired the Flüela Valley from the Bishop of Chur. The building itself was built around 1700 and still bears witness to traditional architecture and living history.
What is particularly remarkable, however, is that significant parts of the house are much older. The wood of the timber-framed building, which extends from the two cellars to the two parlours to the sleeping chambers, is over 500 years old. The lower kitchen, today's bathroom and toilet area and the two former smokehouses - now used as bedrooms - have also been dendrochronologically dated to the pre-Reformation period. The block staircase dates from 1589 and is therefore also over 400 years old. The window sill in the vaulted cellar is dated 1572, while the ceiling beams of the upper kitchen date from 1814 and 1824 respectively. These impressive testimonies of different construction phases give the house its unmistakable historical character.
The upper kitchen with the vaulted cellar below suggests that it was originally a residential tower, which was later expanded into a multi-generational house. Historical evidence also indicates that the building temporarily served as a Suste - a transshipment point for grain and salt. The pass road at that time led directly past the house, and even today embrasures are visible in the wall - silent witnesses of an eventful past.
Another exciting historical tradition can be found in the donation book of 1562. There is talk of the "farm in Flüllen, by der cappel". The art historian Erwin Poeschel already suspected that this could mean the Flüela-Dörfji. One possible interpretation is that the chapel lost its original function after the Reformation and was later converted into a cellar and kitchen. In 1589, these parts of the building could have been united under a common roof with the block staircase that has been preserved to this day. This long history of development may also be referred to by the impressive saying above the window of the large parlour:
"I gave my roof to God."
Upon entering the house, lovingly preserved details are revealed: Gothic elements in the entrance area, two heated parlours from the 18th century and the impressive large parlour with carved Bible board, ornate Swiss stone pine coffered ceiling and numerous original features.
The cellars with traditional milk racks for storing brooms and cheese wheels bear witness to year-round use and the former self-sufficiency. Around 1800, around 60 people lived in the Flüela Valley - the house was therefore an important centre of village life.
In recent years, the Walserhaus has been gently renovated with great respect for its history and great attention to detail.
The charming 6-room chalet inspires with original building elements such as floors, doors and stairs and conveys a warm, authentic living atmosphere.
