Our origins
In 1971, Paula Christoffel founded Christoffel Travel Agency in Davos with just one vacation apartment, a lot of courage, and the easygoing spirit of a Jura native. As a former Swissair flight attendant with a Swiss-French mother and a father from Davos, Paula knew no regional divides and understood customer needs intuitively.
The economic boom of the 1980s, along with her unwavering dedication, fueled steady growth. By maintaining a professional focus on vacation rentals, the business grew into a trusted family enterprise. Today, we continue to fulfill vacation dreams and are a preferred partner for numerous apartment owners.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us over the years!

Meet our team
Eva Marty
the boss at Christoffel
As a native of Davos and a Davos resident by choice, she continues to uphold the Christoffel seal of quality and is the second generation of her family to run the business. Even as a child, she earned her pocket money by cleaning holiday apartments, so she is very familiar with the business from the ground up. She graduated from the University of St. Gallen with a Master of Art / MBA in Communication, Tourism and Services. After that, she was drawn back to the Grisons, where she eventually became managing director of the bathing and wellness center in Alvaneu Bad, with 60 employees. As a mother of three, she wants to continue to bring a breath of fresh air to the company under the motto “more than just usual”.
Margrith Felix
30 years of service legend
Margrith has been at our side as a troubleshooter for 30 years. She has successfully managed the Bernina vacation home with over 100 beds in Davos for 12 years with enthusiasm and success. As an apartment and house manager, Margrith knows the customer's wishes by heart and can draw on a broad background. Margrith actually retired early in 2018. She can't do without us and we definitely can't do without her. To make sure her retirement dreams don't come up short, she often works from home in her specially converted vacation home in Florida. Don't be alarmed if you receive emails with a night-time time difference. As a Davos native, she knows the area and vacation wishes best.
Michael Gubser
our new addition
After completing a classic banking apprenticeship, he spent 20 years working for well-known financial institutions in Switzerland and abroad. Homesickness for the mountains and the desire for a change of industry brought the Davos native back home and into our hands. With a good sense of humor and an eye for customer concerns, Michael is a perfect addition to our team. As head of the counter, he is happy to help with a range of requests for your vacation needs. Michael prefers to spend his free time in the mountains or on the water.
Marlies Büchi
sincerely, simply Marlies
Marlies is well-versed and at home in the commercial environment and tourism. Marlies has actively demonstrated this at various destinations and then decided on the best destination – Davos Klosters. As a Davos native who has lived in Bern for many years, she is very familiar with the advantages of Davos and is happy to serve you in her charming Bernese dialect. Do you have an extraordinary vacation request? As a people person, Marlies never turns down a vacation request – sincerely, our Marlies.
Tina Flütsch
a dynamic and down-to-earth Prettygauer
After successfully completing her commercial apprenticeship in tourism with us, with cantonal honors, Tina is still on board with us. In addition to training as a farmer and her plans taking over her parents' farm in Prättigau, Tina continues to work for us part-time. As a budding farmer, she knows how to roll up her sleeves and get the job done. With her rustic “prettygauer” dialect, she is happy to help with a range of matters. And yes – a farmer's wife is looking for a husband – preferably a farmer who will live out the dream of the farm with her and we will be able to keep her in our team for a long time to come.
Tamara Hoffmann
curly-haired career changer
Instead of handling cocktail bottles and wine glasses, Tamara now juggles our figures in the back office. For the sake of family life, after 20 years in the catering trade, the Grisons native has ventured into accounting. In her free time, you can find the mother of two boys in the great outdoors or socializing on her own alpine pasture. And when she sometimes can't bear to be away from the restaurant, she likes to help out her husband at Restaurant Hugo's in Davos.
Lena Milosevic
angel of patience
In July 2024, Lena successfully completed her commercial training with a Swiss Federal Professional Diploma and will remain with us for the next two years on a part-time basis while she completes her vocational baccalaureate. The contact with people and communication in her daily work led her, who grew up in Davos, to us. With her incredible patience, she is the perfect addition to our team.
Mika Khadra
the calming influence – in training
Having grown up in Davos, the former secondary school student decided on a commercial apprenticeship in tourism. Mika likes customer contact and working on the computer. He is enjoying his introduction to the commercial world of work and helping the team fulfill guests' wishes. In his free time, Mika does weight training regularly and plays basketball. He is a calming influence in our team.
