Health insurance Pursuant to the Health Insurance Act (KVG), nursing care insurance is obligatory for all persons residing in Switzerland. In other words, at least a basic insurance should be concluded that covers the basic services. This represents the foundation on which, depending on personal requirements, further insurance cover can be "additionally purchased" through additional contributions. There are more than 80 health insurance companies in Switzerland. Each health insurance company offers the same benefits. These benefits are defined in the Health Insurance Act (KVG). In the basic insurance of the health insurance company, you also have to insure yourself against accidents if you are not employed. In Switzerland, all employees are automatically insured against accidents at work. Those who work at least eight hours a week are also insured against non-work accidents. Persons in modest financial circumstances receive a financial contribution from the government and the canton to the premiums for the obligatory medical insurance. This contribution is called “Individuelle Prämienverbilligung”. Sozialversicherungsanstalt Graubünden, Tel. 081 257 41 11, www.sva.gr.ch

Many landlords in Switzerland commission a facility management with regulating everything with the tenants on their behalf. In this case, the facility management is the point of contact for the tenant. In larger blocks of flats, the caretaker is often responsible for questions from tenants, minor repairs and also for safety and maintenance. Applicants for an apartment usually complete a registration form. With your signature, you undertake to comply with the tenancy agreement. It is very important that all points in the agreement are correctly understood. In Switzerland, you often pay a certain amount in advance for an apartment. This is called a rental guarantee deposit that acts as security for the landlord. It is a maximum of three monthly rents and is kept in a special bank account.

Third-party liability insurance (in the event of damage towards third parties) is often requested by estate agents and facility managements for the rental of an apartment or a house.

If you incur any problems under tenancy law, the first instance for dealing with disputes under tenancy law is the mediation body. Representatives of both the HEV (Swiss Home Owners' Association) and the tenants' associations are represented. In contrast to court proceedings, mediation proceedings are free of charge.

The most important information on the three pillars of the Swiss social insurances:

The first pillar is an obligatory basic insurance. It applies for all people who live and work in Switzerland. Payment of contributions is obligatory. From this, you will receive benefits later on (e.g. pensions) when you retire or become an invalid. The contribution will be deducted from your gross wage as a percentage.

The second pillar is company insurance for the employed population. It is obligatory and covers all persons working in Switzerland with an annual minimum income (company pension). Here too, payment of contributions is obligatory. From this, you will receive benefits later on (e.g. pensions) when you retire or become an invalid. The contribution will be deducted from your gross wage as a percentage.

The third pillar is a voluntary, individual private pension with tax breaks, as a supplement to the first and second pillars (fixed pension 3a and flexible pension 3b).

Those who are less fond of sports activities can spend their leisure time in the music school, library, cinema or in the Davos museums.

The municipality of Davos offers a large variety of associations and museums.

The most important information on the three pillars of the Swiss social insurances:

The first pillar is an obligatory basic insurance. It applies for all people who live and work in Switzerland. Payment of contributions is obligatory. From this, you will receive benefits later on (e.g. pensions) when you retire or become an invalid. The contribution will be deducted from your gross wage as a percentage.

The second pillar is company insurance for the employed population. It is obligatory and covers all persons working in Switzerland with an annual minimum income (company pension). Here too, payment of contributions is obligatory. From this, you will receive benefits later on (e.g. pensions) when you retire or become an invalid. The contribution will be deducted from your gross wage as a percentage.

The third pillar is a voluntary, individual private pension with tax breaks, as a supplement to the first and second pillars (fixed pension 3a and flexible pension 3b).
