💡 Tips
- Make use of the Davos Klosters guest card. It provides free travel on local public transport and significant discounts on the Madrisa and Gotschna mountain lifts.
- Take a stroll through Klosters Platz to admire the traditional Walser-style chalets. Many buildings are old and beautifully preserved.
- The best time for a quiet walk around the easy on the eye lake Klostersersee is in the late afternoon when skiers are returning from the slopes.
- Although considered an exclusive resort, there are many public hiking trails. The route along the Landquart river towards Davos is flat and accessible to everyone.
- In winter, the horse-drawn sleigh rides into the side valleys, like the Schlappin valley, are a romantic and quiet alternative to skiing.
🍽 Food
Enjoy this classic Swiss dish in one of the many cozy, chalet-style restaurants for an authentic alpine experience.
Try this local air-dried beef as part of a 'Bündner Platte' (a mixed platter) with local cheese and bread in a rustic inn.
Find this rich, caramelized walnut tart in the local bakeries ('Konditorei'). It makes for a handy souvenir to take home.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
The main street in Klosters is lined with elegant boutiques, sports shops, and stores selling local delicatessen.
Look for 'Hofladen' signs on the outskirts of the village to buy cheese, cured meats, and honey directly from local farms.
An easy walk around this small lake gives a quick escape. Sit on a bench and enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains.
This quiet side valley is less frequented than the main ski areas. A postbus runs up to the restaurant by lake Schlappinsee, which is a great starting point for hikes.
A walk along the river is peaceful in any season. The path is well-maintained and provides many quiet spots to stop and relax.

Klosters has managed to preserve its village charm and cozy atmosphere despite its worldwide fame. In contrast to neighboring Davos, classic wooden chalets and discreet elegance define the townscape here. Klosters has been known for decades as a retreat for celebrities and the British aristocracy, lending the resort a touch of 'Alpine Chic.' The Parsenn ski area connects Klosters with Davos and provides some of the longest runs in the Alps. Particularly popular with families is Mount Madrisa, which is well-suited for beginners with its children's land and gentler slopes. Off the slopes, Klosters features everything for a great winter holiday with extensive cross-country skiing trails, winter hiking paths, and a lively yet sophisticated après-ski scene. In summer, Klosters transforms into a paradise for hikers and bikers. The offerings range from simple valley walks to challenging tours into the Silvretta Group. The Madrisa-Land adventure park is a highlight for children. With the guest card, holidaymakers can use many mountain railways and public transport for free. The first-class hotels and gourmet restaurants round off the offerings for discerning guests.
