About Klosters

Klosters is the quieter, more discreet sibling of Davos, sharing the same 320km ski area on a joint lift pass but maintaining an atmosphere of understated elegance that has attracted the British royal family and their circle for decades. The village at 1,124m is genuinely beautiful — a collection of traditional wooden Graubünden farmhouses lining the Landquart river — and its access to the Parsenn ski area, including the legendary 12km Gotschnagrat-to-Küblis run descending 1,800 vertical metres, gives expert skiers one of the great mountain descents in Switzerland.
