The funicular was completed in 1899 to provide access to the Kurhaus at Schatzalp, now Berghotel Schatzalp. It was the first funicular in the canton of Graubünden. Construction had been delayed as the concession to build the line had first been awarded to Aktiengesellschaft Kurhaus Davos and a competitor. Only in 1898 it received it exclusively. The newly created company Davosplatz-Schatzalp-Bahn then built and operated the line.

The lower station is located next to Davos Platz railway station.

Berghotel Schatzalp AG currently owns and operates the line.
