Spriha Srivastava in Davos
Spriha Srivastava is Business Insider's UK bureau chief.
  • I'm attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
  • My schedule is packed with meetings — but the scenery in the Swiss Alps is a stunning distraction.
  • Taking the train from Zurich to Davos makes for a picturesque journey. 

Some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people are landing in Davos, as the Swiss ski resort gets ready to host the World Economic Forum.

The annual gathering brings nearly 3,000 world leaders together to discuss the world's most pressing issues.

This is my first time attending the winter meeting in Davos. While I've got a schedule packed with meetings with everyone from top executives to government ministers, I'm also completely blown away by the beauty of this village.
